Answer:

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance that propagates through a certain medium or in a vacuum, with transport of energy but without transport of matter.

The wavelength is the minimum distance between two successive points of the wave that are in the same state of vibration. It is expressed in units of length (m).

Frequency is the number of vibrations that occur in a unit of time. Its unit is s⁻¹ or hertz (Hz).

The speed of propagation is the speed with which the wave propagates in the middle, that is, the magnitude that measures the speed at which the wave disturbance propagates along its displacement. Relate wavelength (λ) and frequency (f) inversely proportionally using the following equation:

v = f * λ.

In this case, λ= 8 meter and f= 3 Hz

Then:

v= 3 Hz* 8 meter

So:

v= 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

The speed is 24 $\frac{meter}{s}$

A ride-sharing car moving along a straight section of road starts from rest, accelerating at 2.00 m/s2 until it reaches a speed

liq [111]

Answer:

A) total time = 55.5 seconds

B) average velocity = 25.27 m/s

Explanation:

It starts from rest, so initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

We are given;

acceleration; a = 2 m/s²

Final velocity; v = 31 m/s

From Newton's first law of motion,

v = u + at

So, 31 = 0 + 2t

t = 31/2

t = 15.5 sec

We are told that, after this time of 15.5 sec, the car travels 35 sec at a constant speed and after that it takes 5 sec additional time to stop. Thus;

(a) Total time in which car is in motion = 15.5 + 35 +5 = 55.5 seconds

b)Total distance traveled during first 15.5 sec would be gotten from Newton's second equation of motion which is;

S = ut + ½at²

S1 = 0 + ½(2 * 15.5²)

S1 = 240.25 m

Distance traveled in 35 sec with with velocity of 31 m/sec is;

S2 = velocity x time

S2 = 35 × 31 = 1085 m

Now, for the final stage, final velocity (v) will now be 0 since the car comes to rest while initial velocity(u) will be 31 m/s.

From the first equation of motion,

a = (v - u)/t

a = (0 - 31)/5

a = -6.2 m/s²

So, distance travelled is;

S3 = ut + ½at²

S3 = (31 × 5) + ½(-6.2 × 5²)

S3 = 155 - 77.5

S3 = 77.5 m

So overall total distance = S1 + S2 + S3

Overall total distance = 240.25 + 1085 + 77.5 = 1402.75 m

Average velocity = total distance/total time

Average velocity = 1402.75/55.5 = 25.27 m/s

A stone is launched from the ground, at a 70° angle, with an initial velocity of 120 m/s.

zavuch27 [327]

A) x = 41t
The classic equation for distance is velocity multiplied by time. And unfortunately, all of your available options have the form of that equation. In fact, the only difference between any of the equations is what looks to be velocity. And in order to solve the problem initially, you need to divide the velocity vector into a vertical velocity vector and a horizontal velocity vector. And the horizontal velocity vector is simply the cosine of the angle multiplied by the total velocity. So H = 120*cos(70) = 120*0.34202 = 41.04242 So the horizontal velocity is about 41 m/s. Looking at the available options, only "A" even comes close.

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

735 J/kg/C

Explanation:

Q = mcT

943 = (0.447)( c )(2.87)

1.28289c = 943

c = 735 J/kg/C (3 sf)
