Answer:

vf= 4.4 m/s

Explanation:

Kinematics

Because the sprinter moves with uniformly accelerated movement we apply the following formula:

vf= v₀+at Formula (1)

Where:

t : time in seconds (s)

v₀: initial speed in m/s

vf: final speed in m/s

a: acceleration in m/s²

Data

t = 4 s

v₀ = 10 m/s

a = -1.4 m/s²

Problem development

We replace data in the formula (1) to calculate the speed of the sprinter in 4 seconds :

vf = 10-1.4(4)

vf= 4.4 m/s

V=u+at
v=10+(-1.4 (4))
=10-5.6
=4.4m/s

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.

zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is ∝ v²

so we can say

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}$ .....................1

put here value

$\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}$

solve it

v2 = $\sqrt{2 }$ × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

A shopping cart rolls from x=19.9m to x=5.40m with an average velocity of -0.418m/s. How much time did it take? (unit=s)

andrew11 [14]

Given

initial position = Xi= 19.9m

Final position Xf = 5.4m

Average velocity= Va = -0.418m/s

it shows displacement is reverse.

To find t=?

As Va = (Xf- Xi) / t

t = (Xf-Xi) / ( Va)

t = ( 5.4-19.9) / (-0.418)

t = (-14.5 ) / (-0.418) (-ve sign cancel out at numerator and denominator)

t =34.69 s

A 450g mass on a spring is oscillating at 1.2Hz. The totalenergy of the oscillation is 0.51J. What is the amplitude.

Volgvan

Answer:

A=0.199

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of spring=m=450 g= $=\frac{450}{1000}=0.45 kg$

Where 1 kg=1000 g

Frequency of oscillation= $\nu=1.2Hz$

Total energy of the oscillation=0.51 J

We have to find the amplitude of oscillations.

Energy of oscillator= $E=\frac{1}{2}m\omega^2A^2$

Where $\omega=2\pi\nu$ =Angular frequency

A=Amplitude

$\pi=\frac{22}{7}$

Using the formula

$0.51=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.45(2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2A^2$

$A^2=\frac{2\times 0.51}{0.45\times (2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 1.2)^2}=0.0398$

$A=\sqrt{0.0398}=0.199$

Hence, the amplitude of oscillation=A=0.199

When a metal reacts with a non-metal it forms what???

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms, forming ions. The resulting compound is called an ionic compound.
