The distance, in feet, a moving object has traveled after t seconds is given by 2t/(4 + t). find the acceleration of the object
lianna [129]
Hi! Let me help you!
a = (Vf - Vi)/t ; where distance d = [2(t)]/(4+t), t = 5secs, and Vi = 0 
a = [(2t)/(4+t)]/t <---- working equation
a = {[2(5)]/9}/5 <---- cancel 5

What kind of wave (transverse of longitudinal) is each of the following and why?
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

1.) Longitudinal waves

2.) Transverse waves

3.) Longitudinal waves

Explanation:

The sound of one whale calling another whale underwater.  is a longitudinal wave since the medium, in this case the body of water, is vibrating parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave.

A pulse sent down a stretched rope by snapping one end of it. ( transverse wave) because its oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

The vibrations in a guitar string

Longitudinal wave. Because its oscillations are parallel to the direction of the wave or path of propagation

Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum
Softa [21]

When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.

<h3>Compare and contrast the energy transfer of a roller coaster to that of a pendulum:</h3><h3>What is the transfer of energy in a roller coaster?</h3>

The transfer of potential energy to kinetic energy occur when the roller coaster move along the track. As the motor pulls the cars to the top, the body has more potential energy whereas when the body comes to the bottom , it has kinetic energy in the object.

<h3>What is the energy transfer in a pendulum?</h3>

As a pendulum swings, its potential energy changes to kinetic energy and kinetic energy changes into potential energy. At the top more potential energy is present.

So we can conclude that When the pendulum and roller coaster move to the top, its has more potential energy whereas when comes to the bottom has more kinetic energy.
