Using Newton's law that  F = ma.

The force here is the net force.  The forces acting in opposite direction are the weight and the air resistance. The weight of course is acting downwards and the air  resistance is pushing upwards.

Therefore:

W -  AR  = ma                    W = Weight = mg,  AR = Air Resistance = 150.
                                           g = 10 m/s2
mg  - AR  = ma

60(10) - 150 = 60a
600  -  150   = 60a
450 = 60a
60a = 450
a = 450/60
a = 7.5 m/s2

Cheers.

The approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.

<h3>What's the approximate speed of sound?</h3>

If we consider the normal atmosphere at sea level, the speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second. The speed of sound is different in different mediums such as solid and liquid.

So we can conclude that the approximate speed of sound is about 761 mph or 335.28 meters/second.

A skateboarder is moving at 1.75 m/s when she starts going up an incline that causes an acceleration of -0.20 m/s2
Rudiy27

Answer:

Approximately 7.66\; \rm m.

Explanation:

<h3>Solve this question with a speed-time plot</h3>

The skateboarder started with an initial speed of u = 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} and came to a stop when her speed became v = 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. How much time would that take if her acceleration is a = -0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}?

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{v - u}{a} \\ &= \frac{0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} - 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}}{-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}} \approx 8.75\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

Refer to the speed-time graph in the diagram attached. This diagram shows the velocity-time plot of this skateboarder between the time she reached the incline and the time when she came to a stop. This plot, along with the vertical speed axis and the horizontal time axis, form a triangle. The area of this triangle should be equal to the distance that the skateboarder travelled while she was moving up this incline until she came to a stop. For this particular question, that area is approximately equal to:

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \times 1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \times 8.75\; \rm s \approx 7.66\; \rm m.

In other words, the skateboarder travelled 15.3\; \rm m up the slope until she came to a stop.

<h3>Solve this question with an SUVAT equation</h3>

A more general equation for this kind of motion is:

\displaystyle x = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v) \, t = \frac{1}{2}\, (u + v)\cdot \frac{v - u}{a}= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a},

where:

  • u and v are the initial and final velocity of the object,
  • a is the constant acceleration that changed the velocity of this object from u to v, and
  • x is the distance that this object travelled while its velocity changed from u to v.

For the skateboarder in this question:

\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2\, a}\\ &= \frac{\left(0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 - \left(1.75\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2}{2\times \left(-0.20\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right)}\approx 7.66\; \rm m \end{aligned}.

hallar un numero de dos cifras sabiendo que la suma de las cifras es 12 y que la primera de ellas es el triple de la segunda
Natali [406]

Answer:

93 o 39.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, podemos resolver este problema por medio del planteamiento de las siguientes ecuaciones:

1. Definimos <em>x</em> como el primer dígito y <em>y</em> como el segundo, por lo tanto, como su suma es 12, escribimos:

<em>x</em> + <em>y</em> = 12

2. Ahora, dado que el primer dígito, x es el triple del segundo, escribimos:

<em>x</em> = 3 <em>y</em>

De este modo, podemos resolver para <em>y</em>:

3 <em>y</em> + <em>y</em> = 12

4 <em>y</em> = 12

<em>y</em> = 12 / 4

<em>y</em> = 3

Y para <em>x</em>:

<em>x</em> = 3 <em>y</em>

<em>x</em> = 3 * 3

<em>x</em> = 9

Así, el número puede ser 93 o 39.

¡Saludos!
