Which three quantities can be used to calculate acceleration?

1 answer:

4 0

D is the correct answer, assuming that this is the special case of classical kinematics at constant acceleration. You can use the equation V = Vo + at, where Vo is the initial velocity, V is the final velocity, and t is the time elapsed. In D, all three of these values are given, so you simply solve for a, the acceleration.
A and C are clearly incorrect, as mass and force (in terms of projectile motion) have no effect on an object's motion. B is incorrect because it is not useful to know the position or distance traveled, unless it will help you find displacement. Even then, you would not have enough information to use a kinematics equation to find a.

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 350 newtons stretches a sprin

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

350 N force stretches the spring by 30 cm

spring constant K = 350 / 0.30 = (350 / 0.3) N / m

To calculate work done by a spring force we proceed as follows

spring force when the spring is stretched by x = Kx

This force is variable so work done by it can be calculated by integration

Work done by it in stretching from x₁ to x₂

W = ∫ F dx

= ∫ Kx dx with limit from x₁ to x ₂

= 1/2 K ( x₂² - x₁² )

Putting the given values of x₁ = 0.50 m , x₂ = 0.8 m

Work done

= 1/2 x (350 / 0.3)x ( 0.80² - 0.50² )

= 227.50 J

What . Slides are placed upside down in a slide projector to correct for the _______ image produced. A. magnified B. inverted C.

Yuri [45]

The correct answer is B. Inverted image. This is because of all the lenses and light refractions and what not. The same things happens with our eyes except our brains fix the inverted image automatically. Since there are no brains in a projector, you have to fix it on your own by putting it in reverse.

What are the products of the double-replacement reaction between potassium bromide and silver nitrate? Name the resulting compou

timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

A double replacement reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds are mixed together and both their cations and anions get exchanged with each other respectively.

When potassium bromide reacts with silver nitrate then it results in the formation of potassium nitrate and silver bromide.

The chemical reaction equation is as follows.

$KBr + AgNO_{3} \rightarrow KNO_{3} + AgBr$
