Answer:

his starting velocity was 18.297 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

v = u + at .................. (1)

Where

Final Velocity (v) = 0 ms⁻¹

Initial velocity (u) = ?

Acceleration (deceleration) (a) = -6.42 ms⁻²

time (t) = 2.85 s

Substituting all parameters into equation (1)

0 = u + (-6.42)2.85

0 = u + (-18.297)

0 = u - 18.297

18.297 = u

∴ the initial velocity was 18.297 ms⁻¹

A ball with a mass of 3.1 kg is moving in a uniform circular motion upon a horizontal surface. The ball is attached at the cente
inessss [21]

Answer:

3.46 seconds

Explanation:

Since the ball is moving in circular motion thus centripetal force will be acting there along the rope.

The equation for the centripetal force is as follows -

F=\frac{mv^2}{r}

Where, m is the mass of the ball, v is the speed and r is the radius of the circular path which will be equal to the length of the rope.

This centripetal force will be equal to the tension in the string and thus we can write,

20.4 = \frac{3.1\times v^2}{2}

and, v^2 = 13.16

Thus, v = 3.63 m/s.

Now, the total length of circular path = circumference of the circle

Thus, total path length = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 2 = 12.56 m

Time taken to complete one revolution = \frac{\text {Path length} }{\text {Speed}} = \frac{12.56}{3.63} = 3.46 seconds.

Thus, the mass will complete one revolution in 3.46 seconds.

Sound and light are both found as _____, with a variety of ____. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Waves; wavelength; electromagnetic energy; ultraviolet light.

Explanation:

Sound are mechanical waves that are highly dependent on matter for their propagation and transmission.

Sound travels faster through solids than it does through either liquids or gases.

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

Hence, sound and light are both found as waves, with a variety of wavelength. The sun, a source of light waves specifically, releases a type of electromagnetic energy. It can be found as UVA or UVB types. These lights give off different levels of ultraviolet light, some of wich can be harmful.

Additionally, the ultraviolet spectrum is divided into three categories and these are; UVA, UVB and UVC.
