Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.

Find the change in velocity of a 369 g hockey puck subject to the force shown below.
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The change in velocity is 15.83 [m/s]

Explanation:

Using the Newton's second law we have:

ΣF = m*a

The force in the graph is 185 N, therefore:

185=0.369*a\\Where\\a=acceleration made it by the force [m/s^2]

a=501.35[m/s^2]

Now using the following kinematic equation:

V^{2}=Vi^{2} + 2*a*(x-xi) \\where\\V=final velocity [m/s]\\Vi= initial velocity [m/s] = 0 the hockey disk is in rest when receives the hit.\\ x = Final position [m] = 0.4 m\\xi = initial position [m] = 0.15m\\

Now replacing the values:

V^{2}=0 + 2*501.35*(0.4-0.15)\\ \\V= 15.83[m/s]

Which statement correctly describes variable stars?
Kryger [21]

Answer:

D)

Explanation:

The Period-Luminosity relationship tells us that luminosity increases with the period, and of course the more luminosity a star has the more far away they can be seen, so from this we know that:

A) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

B) False since longer periods means higher luminosities

C) False since lower luminosities can be observed when they are close.

D) True: Variable stars with shorter periods have lower luminosities, so they can only be observed when they are close.

What is the frequency of a wave with a wavelength of 7.88 x 10^(-8) m?
dedylja [7]

Answer:

f = 23.64 Hz

Explanation:

From the wave equation, the relationship between frequency and wavelength is given by;

f = cλ

Where;

λ is wavelength

c is speed of light with a constant value of 3 × 10^(8) m/s

f is frequency

We are given wavelength of 7.88 x 10^(-8) m

Thus;

f = 7.88 x 10^(-8) × 3 × 10^(8)

f = 23.64 Hz
