Answer:

after 6 second it will stop

he travel 36 m to stop

Explanation:

given data

speed = 12 m/s

distance = 100 m

decelerates rate = 2.00 m/s²

so acceleration a = - 2.00 m/s²

to find out

how long does it take to stop and how far does he travel

solution

we will apply here first equation of motion that is

v = u + at   ......1

here u is speed 12 and v is 0 because we stop finally

put here all value in equation 1

0 = 12 + (-2) t

t = 6 s

so after 6 second it will stop

and

for distance we apply equation of motion

v²-u² = 2×a×s  ..........2

here v is 0 u is 12 and a is -2 and find distance s

put all value in equation 2

0-12² = 2×(-2)×s

s = 36 m

so  he travel 36 m to stop

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two objects are traveling at the same speed.

Explanation:

Neglecting air resistance, an object that is thrown up from the top of a tall building has the same speed as the second object thrown down from the top of the same tall building since the initial speed is the same.

The object thrown up is not traveling faster neither is the object thrown down traveling faster.  

Therefore, the two objects will have the same speed when they hit the ground but their time of landing might be different.

A research vessel is mapping the bottom of the ocean using sonar. It emits a short sound pulse called "ping" downward. The frequ
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

d = 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is 0.251m

Explanation:

Given that

frequency of the sound is 5920 Hz

v=1485m/s

t=5.63s

let d represent distance from the vessel to the ocean bottom.

an echo travels a distance equivalent to 2d, that is to and fro after it reflects from the obstacle.

velocity=\frac{distance}{time}\\\\ v=\frac{2d}{t} \\\\vt=2d\\\\d=\frac{vt}{2}

d=\frac{1485*5.63}{2}\\d= 4180.3m

wavelengt of sound is \lambda = v/f

= (1485)/(5920)

= 0.251 m

The acceleration due to gravity on the Moon's surface is
Molodets [167]

Answer:

50 lb

Explanation:

Given,

The weight of astronaut's life support backpack on Earth (w) = 300 lb

Acceleration due to gravity on Earth (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity on Moon = g'

g'=\frac{g}{6}

We know that weight of an object on Earth is,

w = m\times g

m = \frac{w}{g}

Similarly, weight on Moon will be

w' = m\times g'

w' = \frac{w}{g}\times\frac{g}{6}

w' = \frac{300}{6}

w' = 50

Thus the astronaut's life support backpack will weigh 50 lb on Moon.

When measuring an unknown voltage with an analog VOM, you should first
Soloha48 [4]
If you have no idea what the voltage is that you're about to measure,
then you should set the meter to the highest range before you connect
it to the two points in the circuit. 

Analog meters indicate the measurement by moving a physical needle
across a physical card with physical numbers printed on it.  If the unknown
voltage happens to be 100 times the full range to which the meter is set,
then the needle may find itself trying to move to a position that's 100 times
past the highest number on the meter's face.  You'll hear a soft 'twang',
followed by a louder 'CLICK'.  Then you'll wonder why the meter has no
needle on it, and then you'll walk over to the other side of the room and
pick up the needle off the floor, and then you'll probably put the needle
in your pocket.  That will end your voltage measurements for that day,
and certainly for that meter. 

Been there.
Done that.
