What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
Masja [62]3 years ago
5 0

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Answer:

v_{f}=6.47m/s

Explanation:

Given data

Distance d=7.00 ft= 7*(1/3.281) =2.1336m

Initial velocity vi=0m/s

To find

Final velocity

Solution

From Kinematic equation we know that:

v_{f}^{2} =v_{i}^{2}+2gd\\v_{f}^{2}=0+2(9.81m/s^{2} ) (2.1336m)\\v_{f}^{2}=41.86\\v_{f}=\sqrt{41.86}\\v_{f}=6.47m/s

What do we have seasons on earth
Goryan [66]

Because the Earth's axis is not "straight up and down" as we move
around the sun. 

So when we're on one side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly toward
the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the top half
of the Earth, and less directly on the bottom half.  The people on the
top half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the bottom half see the sun lower in the sky, and
their weather is cooler.

Then, when we're on the other side of the sun, the top pole leans slightly
away from the sun.  During that time the sun shines more directly on the
bottom half of the Earth, and less directly on the top half.  The people on
the bottom half see the sun higher in the sky, and their weather is warmer,
while the people on the top half see the sun lower in the sky, and their
weather is cooler.

The Earth makes the complete trip around the sun in one year, so the
people on the Earth go through this cycle of higher/lower sun and
warmer/cooler weather every year.

What is a transverse wave? How do the particles in the medium move in relation to the energy of the wave? Does this wave require
Pani-rosa [81]
A transverse wave is a wave where the particles in the medium move perpendicular (at right angles) to the direction of the source or its propagation (think of a snake slithering through grass) an example of a transverse wave could be a light wave. Light waves for instance don’t need a medium in order to propagate but transverse waves in general do need a medium.

Parallel rays of monochromatic light with wavelength 571nm illuminate two identical slits and produce an interference pattern on
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength,\lambda=571 nm=571\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

R=75 cm=\frac{75}{100}=0.75 m

1 m=100 cm

d=0.640 mm=0.64\times 10^{-3} m

1 mm=10^{-3} m

a=0.434 mm=0.434\times 10^{-3} m

y=0.830 mm=0.830\times 10^{-3} m

I_0=5.00\times 10^{-4}W/m^2

tan\theta=\frac{y}{R}

\theta=\frac{0.830\times 10^{-3}}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}

\theta=1.1\times 10^{-3}rad

tan\theta\approx \theta

Because \theta is small.

\phi=\frac{2\pi dsin\theta}{\lambda}

\sin\theta\approx \theta,

Therefore

\phi=\frac{2\times\pi\times 0.64\times 10^{-3}\times 1.1\times 10^{-3}}{571\times 10^{-9}}

\phi=7.74 rad

\beta=\frac{2\pi a\theta}{\lambda}

\beta=5.3 rad

I=I_0cos^2(\frac{\phi}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{\beta}{2}}{\frac{\beta}{2}})^2

I=5\times 10^{-4}cos^2(\frac{7.74}{2})(\frac{sin\frac{5.3}{2}}{\frac{5.3}{2}})^2

I=8.8\times 10^{-6} W/m^2
