Answer: A car is accelerating when it is traveling on a straight uphill road at 30 miles per hour.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity of an object with respect to time. For a body to accelerate, its velocity must be changing at every time interval. According to option a and c, the velocity of the body is constant during the journey but the time is changing. A body with constant velocity possesses a zero acceleration.

A car travelling on a straight up hill possesses velocity change at each time interval. Since the car is on a slope, its shows its acceleration is changing.

A ball is thrown upward. As it passes 5.0 m height it is traveling at 4.0 m/s up. What was its initial upward velocity? (a) 7.0

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

c) 10.7m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that at 5m the ball is traveling at 4m/s

To calculate its initial velocity we need to solve the following equation:

$v_{y}^{2}=v_{oy}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})$

Since the initial height is 0

Solving for $v_{o}$

$v_{oy}=\sqrt{v_{y}^{2}-2gy}=\sqrt{(4m/s)^2-2(-9.8m/s^2)(5m)}=10.7m/s$

a ball is dropped from rest at a height of 89m above the ground. (a)what is it's speed just before it hits the ground? (b) how l

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

(a) 41.75m/s

(b) 4.26s

Explanation:

Let:

Distance, D = 89m

Gravity, $g$ = 9.8 m/ $s^{2}$

Initial Velocity, $u$ = 0m/s

Final Velocity, $v$ = ?

Time Taken, $t$ = ?

With the distance formula, which is

D = $ut$ + $\frac{1}{2} gt^2$

and by substituting what we already know, we have:

89 = $\frac{1}{2}$ ×9.8× $t^{2}$

With the equation above, we can solve for $t$ :

$t=\sqrt{\frac{89(2)}{9.8}} \\t=\sqrt{\frac{178}{9.8} } \\t=\sqrt{18.16} \\t=4.26 seconds$

Now that we have solved $t$ , we can use the following velocity formula to solve for $v$ :

$v = u + at$ , where $a$ is also equals to $g$ , so we have

$v = u + gt$

By substituting $u = 0$ , $g = 9.8$ , and $t = 4.26$ ,

We have:

$v = 0 + 9.8(4.26)\\v = 41.75m/s$

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity u = 32.7 m /s

final velocity v = 50.3 m /s

displacement s = 44500 m

acceleration a = ?

v² = u² + 2 a s

50.3² = 32.7² + 2 x a x 44500

2530.09 = 1069.29 + 89000a

a .016 m /s²

time taken t = ?

v = u + at

50.3 = 32.7 + .016 t

t = 1100 s

What is a wave? Use the terms wavelength and frequency in your definition.

adelina 88 [10]

Explanation:

A wave is a disturbance in a medium. For example, when some pebbles are thrown in water, the water particles gets disturbed. A wave is characterized by the following parameters i.e.

Frequency

Wavelength etc

The number of oscillations or vibrations in a medium is called the frequency of a wave.

Also, the distance between two consecutive crests and troughs is called the wavelength of a wave. The relationship between the wavelength and the frequency of a wave is given by :

Speed of wave = frequency × wavelength
