The speed and length of time don't matter.

Constant speed in a straight line is the DEFINITION of ZERO acceleration.

Answer:

$a = 0m/s^2$

Explanation:

we can use the equation:

$v_f = a(t) + v_i$

And plug in our numbers:

$81km/h = am/s^2(4.4h) + 81hm/h$

$0 = am/s^2(4.4h)$

$0 = am/s^2$

$a = 0m/s^2$

Because the speed was constant, there was no difference between the final and initial velocities, meaning that once you do the math you see there is no acceleration affecting the speed.

A ball is dropped and falls with an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2 downward. It hits the ground with a velocity of 49 m/s downward. Ho

Hey!

NOTE-:

u= initial velocity
v= final velocity
g= acceleration due to gravity
t= time

u= 0
v= 49 m/s
t=?
g= 9.8 m/s^2

Using first equation of motion -

v-u=at
49-0= 9.8×t
49 = 9.8t
49/9.8= t
t= 5 second

Hope it helps...!!!

A very long string (linear density 0.7 kg/m ) is stretched with a tension of 70 N . One end of the string oscillates up and down

rewona [7]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Wavelength, The relationship between speed, voltage and linear density as well as frequency. By definition the speed as a function of the tension and the linear density is given by

$V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho}}$
