Answer: 0.87m/s²

Explanation: Recall from Newton's second law

Force = mass*acceleration

So,

Acceleration = Force/mass

Acceleration = 59N/68kg

= 0.868N/kg

Which is also 0.87m/s² in standard unit.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

2 Hz.

Explanation:

Frequency is simply defined as the number of appearances of a periodic event occurring per time. It is usually measured in cycles/second.

Now, in this question, we are told that there are 2 cycles for each second.

Thus, we can say that the frequency is 2 cycles/1 s = 2 Hz.

You hear a tone and recognized it to me 512 Hz and you know that the speed of sound
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

Explanation:

The frequency equation is

f=\frac{v}{\lambda} where f is frequency measured in Hz, v is velocity of sound measured in m/s and \lambda is wavelength measured in meters. Filling in our given info:

512=\frac{340}{\lambda} and

\lambda=\frac{340}{512} so

\lambda=.664 m (That is the incorrect number of sig dig's by the way. It should only be 2 since the number 340 only has 2 sig dig's)

Two workers pull horizontally on a heavy box but one pulls twice as hard as the other. The larger pull is directed at 25.0 west
icang [17]
1) Call  F1 the larger force and F1x and F1y its its x-and-y- components.respectively.

I will use the complementary angle: 90 - 25 = 65 to work with the normal convention.

=> cos(65) = F1x / F1 => F1x = - F1*cos(65) (I choose negative as the west direction)

=> sin(65) = F1y / F1 => F1y = F1*sin(65) (I choose positive the north direction)

2) Call F2 the shorter force and F2x and F2y its components

=> cos(x) = F2x / F2 => F2x = F2*cos(x)

=> sin(x) = F2y / F2=> F2y = F2*sin(x)

3) You know that:

- F1 = 2F2
- The net force in the y direction is 430 N
- The net force in the x direction is 0

a)  F1x + F2x = 0

=>  -F1*cos(65) + F2*sin(x) = 0

=> F1*cos(65) = F2 sin(x) => sin(x) = [F1/F2] cos(65)

Remember F1 = 2F2 => F1/F2 = 2 => sin(x) = 2 cos(65) = 0.84524

=> x = arcsin(0.84524) =  57.7


b) F1y + F2y = 430 =>

F1 sin(65) + F2*sin(57.7) = 430 =>

0.9060F1 + 0.84524F2 430

F1 = 2F2 => 0.9060*2F2 + 0.84524F2 = 430 => 1.7512F2 = 430

=> F2 = 430 / 1.7512 = 245.54 N

=> F1 = 2*245.54 =491.1N

There you have the two forces.

The angle of the shorter force is 57.7 measured from the east to the north (this is north of east),  which would be 90 - 57.7 = 32.3 degrees east of north..

 Then the shorter force is 245.5 N at 32.3 degrees east of north

And the larger force is 491.1 N at 25.0 degrees west of north.

The image shows how Earth orbits the Sun. Points W and X are the same distance from the Sun.
Ksju [112]

<u>Answer:</u>


This figure shows the Second Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion, <em>The line that joins the planet with the Sun sweeps equal areas in equal times</em>.  

According to this statement, the only way in which this is fulfilled is that the planet moves faster when it is <u>near the sun (perihelion)</u> and moves slower when it is <u>far from the Sun (aphelion</u>).

In the image shown, if points W and X are at the same distance to the Sun, this means the instantaneous velocity of the planet in both points is the same.
