A 48.9 kg meteor is moving in outer space. If a 8.6 N force is applied opposite the direction of motion, what is the deceleratio

Answer:

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

Using Newton´s second law, we can calculate the deceleration:

∑F = m · a

Where:

∑F = the sum of all forces in a given direction.

m = mass of the object.

a = acceleration.

Solving for a:

∑F/m = a

The only force acting on the meteor is the applied force of 8.6 N. So, the acceleration will be:

8.6 N / 48.9 kg = a

a = 0.18 m/s²

The deceleration is 0.18 m/s² or, in other words, the acceleration is -0.18 m/s²

Have a nice day!

A wave has a wavelength of 3.3 m and a speed of 5.6 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: λ (wavelength) = 3.3 m →  ΔS = 3.3 m

v (speed) = 5.6 m/s → ΔV = 5.6 m/s

T (period) → ΔT = ?

f (frequency) = ?

If:

Now: (if, ΔT = T), Using the formula of the period of a wave, find the frequency:

Below is the data from a gas law experiment comparing the pressure and the volume of a gas at a given temperature.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

The combined gas equation relates three variables pressure, temperature and volume when the number of moles is constant.

The equation is PV / T = constant. Which is valid for a fixed number of moles of the gas.

You can derive the combined gas equation from the combination of Bolye's law, Charles' law and Gay-Lussac's law, which needs some algebra.

What happens when a sound wave passes from oil into air? A. the sound wave slows down and bounces back B. the sound wave slows d
Jlenok [28]

Oil is optically denser than water. When sound/light goes from optically denser medium to optically rarer medium, their velocity increase and they moves away for normal.

<h3><u>Appropriate</u><u> </u><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

The sound wave speeds up and bends

\Large{ \underline{ \boxed{ \pink{ \bf{Option \: (D)}}}}}

As, In optics we learnt that light undergoes refraction when travels from medium of different densities. Similarly, Sound also follows the law of refraction.

  • It is due to the change of speed of water in different mediums, This makes it speed up or down depending upon the medium and their densities.
