Answer:

-31.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.

For the particle in this problem, we have:

u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)

v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)

t = 4.5 s is the time interval

Therefore, the average acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-92-(+48)}{4.5}=-31.1 m/s^2

   I suspect you have a minor error in your question. Claiming a coefficient of static friction of 0.30N is nonsensical. Putting the Newton there is incorrect. The figure of 0.25 for the coefficient of kinetic friction looks OK. So with that correction in mind, let's solve the problem. The coefficient of static friction is the multiplier to apply to the normal force in order to start the object moving. And the coefficient of kinetic friction (which is usually smaller than the coefficient of static friction) is the multiplied to the normal force in order to keep the object moving. You've been given a normal force of 2N, so you need to multiply the coefficient of static friction by that in order to get the amount of force it takes to start the shoe moving. So: 0.30 * 2N = 0.6N And if you look at your options, you'll see that option "B" matches exactly.</span>

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

The second trumpeter will be playing at frequency = 515 Hz

Explanation: Given that the note sounds lower and they can hear 20 beats in 4.0 s. 

Beat frequency = 20/4 = 5 Hz

Beat frequency = F2 - F1

5 = 520 - F1

F1 = 520 - 5

F1 = 515 Hz

Since the note sound lower, the second trumpeter will be playing at 515 Hz frequency
