How do I calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration? I need the formulas too

1 answer:

5 0

Speed is the secular unit, which means it only measures "how fast it goes."
$speed= \frac{distance}{time}$
Velocity is a victory unit, which means it measures "both how fast it goes AND the direction."
$velocity= displacement/time$
Acceleration is the change of velocity over time.
$acceleration = \frac{change in velocity}{time}$

Archy [21]

The copper and oxygen and oxygen atoms are not ions, and the bonds are more covalent than they are ionic.

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

Explanation:

given data

length L = 32 cm = 0.32 m

to find out

frequency and distance between adjacent anti nodes

solution

we consider here speed of sound through air at room temperature 20 degree is approximately v = 343 m/s

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{v}{2L}$ ..............1

put here value in equation 1

lowest frequency will be = $\frac{343}{2(0.32)}$

lowest frequency = 535.93 Hz

and

we have given highest frequency f = 4000Hz

wavelength = $\frac{v}{f}$ ..............2

put here value

wavelength = $\frac{343}{4000}$

wavelength = 0.08575 m

so distance = $\frac{wavelength}{2}$ ..............3

distance = $\frac{0.08575}{2}$

distance = 0.0425 m

so distance between adjacent anti nodes is 4.25 cm

A spectral line from a star is observed to have a wavelength of 656.5 nm. The rest wavelength of this line is 656.8 nm. (a) What

nignag [31]

Answer:

speed of star is 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

Explanation:

given data

wavelength = 656.5 nm

rest wavelength = 656.8 nm

to find out

the speed of the star , is it approaching

solution

we know here equation that is

wavelength shift / wavelength at rest = velocity of source / speed of light

so put all value and find

velocity of source = 3 × $10^{-9}$ × 3 × $10^{8}$ / 656.8 × $10^{-9}$

velocity of source star = 1.37 × $10^{5}$ m/s

and

it is approaching to earth because wavelength of star is decreasing than rest

and

if emit same wavelength it does not move anywhere

it will remain steady condition with respect earth

An object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing which type of particles?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

negative particles

Explanation:

An atom can be defined as the smallest unit comprising of matter that forms all chemical elements. Thus, atoms are basically the building blocks of matters and as such defines the structure of a chemical element.

Generally, these atoms are typically made up of three distinct particles and these are protons, neutrons and electrons.

In Chemistry, electrons can be defined as subatomic particles that are negatively charged and as such has a magnitude of -1.

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

Hence, an object is most likely to become electrically charged by gaining or losing negative particles.
