An object at rest increases its velocity to 10m/s in 3 seconds. What is its acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
BabaBlast [244]3 years ago
5 0

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning).

Change in speed = (10 m/s) - (zero) = 10 m/s

Time for the change = 3 sec

Acceleration = (10 m/s) / (3 sec)

<em>Acceleration = (3 and 1/3) m/s²</em>  or 3.333 m/s²

What happens when two forces at same direction​
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

· If two forces are in the same direction, then one adds them to find the net force, which is the vector sum of these forces. However, when two forces act in opposite direction, one has to subtract the lesser force from the larger one to find the resulting force. The resultant is the direction of the larger of these two forces.

An astronaut whose mass is 80. kg and is initially at rest carries an empty oxygen tank with a mass of 10. kg. He throws the tan
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum

Mu+ mu = Mv' + m v

M= mass of the astronaut = 80 kg

m= mass of the oxygen tank= 10 Kg

v= speedof the tank 2 m/s

u= initial velocity of the system= 0

If we substitute the values, we have

( 80× 0 )+(10×0)= [(80 x v )+ (10 x 2)]

0= 80v + 20

-20=80v

v= -0.25 m/s ( we have a negative value because the astronaut and the motion of the cylinder are in opposite direction)

Hence the velocity the astronaut start to move off into space is 0.25 m/s

What’s the difference between fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable and coaxial cable?
Nikitich [7]
Twisted pair cable consists of a pair of insulated wires twisted together, which is adapted in the field of telecommunication for a long time. With the cable twisting together, it helps to reduce noise from outside sources and crosstalk on multi-pair cables. Basically, twisted pair cable can be divided into two types: unshielded twisted-pair (UTP<span>) and shielded twisted-pair (STP). The former serves as the most commonly used one with merely two insulated wires twisted together. Any data communication cables and normal telephone cables belong to this category. However, shielded twisted pair distinguishes itself from UTP in that it consists of a foil jacket which helps to prevent crosstalk and noise from outside source. It is typically used to eliminate inductive and capacitive coupling, so it can be applied between equipment, racks and buildings. There exist following several different types of 




</span><span>Coaxial cable acts as a high-frequency transmission cable which contains a single solid-copper core. A coaxial cable has over 80 times the transmission capability of the twisted-pair. It is commonly used to deliver television signals and to connect computers in a network as well, so people may get more familiar with this kind of cable. There are two coaxial cables: 75 Ohm and 50 Ohm.

omputing and data communications are fast-moving technologies. There comes a new generation of transmission media—fiber optic cable. It refers to the complete assembly of fibers, which contain one or more optical fibers that are used to transmit data. Each of the optical fiber elements is individually coated by plastic layers and contained in a protective tube. Fiber optic cable transmits data as pulses of light go through tiny tubes of glass, the transmission capacity of which is 26,000 times higher than that of twisted-pair cable. When comparing with coaxial cables, fiber optic cables are lighter and reliable for transmitting data. They transmit information using beams of light at light speed rather than pulses of electricity.

Nowadays, two types of fiber optic cables are widely adopted in the field of data transfer—single-mode fiber optic cables and multimode fiber optic cables. A single-mode optical fiber is a fiber that has a small core, and only allows one mode of light to propagate at a time. So it is generally adapted to high speed, long-distance applications. While a multimode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber with a core diameter larger than the wavelength of light transmitted and it is designed to carry multiple light rays, or modes at the same time. It is mostly used for communication over short distances because of its high capacity and reliability, serving as a backbone applications in buildings.

The sun’s energy hits earth’s surface at the most direct angle at which locations?
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

at the Equator

Explanation:

The four seasons are determined by four main positions in the Earth's orbit in its turn around the Sun (ecliptic plane), which are called solstices and equinoxes: winter solstice (Capricorn point, December 22), spring equinox (Aries point, around March 21-22), summer solstice (Cancer point, June 21) and autumn equinox (Libra point, around September 22-23).

In the equinoxes, the axis of rotation of the Earth is perpendicular to the sun's rays, which fall vertically over the equator. In solstices, the axis is inclined 23.5º, so that the sun's rays fall vertically on the Tropic of Cancer (summer in the northern hemisphere) or Capricorn (summer in the southern hemisphere).

When falling vertically on Ecuador, it generates a greater impact on the surface of the Tierre reaching a greater amount of energy and therefore UV rays.
