Answer:

a)  Δx = 49.23 mi , b)  Δx = 5.77 mi

Explanation:

As we have an acceleration function we must use the definition of kinematics

     a = dv / dt

     ∫dv = ∫ a dt

we integrate and evaluators

      v - vo = ∫ (-1280 (1 + 8t)⁻³ dt = -1280 ∫ (1+ 8t)⁻³ dt

We change variables

       1+ 8t = u

       8 dt = du

       v - v₀ = -1280 ∫ u⁻³ du / 8

       v -v₀ = -1280 / 8 (-u⁻²/2)

       v - v₀ = 80 (1+ 8t)⁻²

We evaluate between the initial t = 0 v₀ = 80 and the final instant t and v

      v- 80 = 80 [(1 + 8t)⁻² - 1]

      v = 80 (1+ 8t)⁻²

We repeat the process for defining speed is

     v = dx / dt

    dx = vdt

    x-x₀ = 80 ∫ (1-8t)⁻² dt

    x-x₀ = 80 ∫ u⁻² dt / 8

    x-x₀ = 80 (-1 / u)

    x-x₀ = -80 (1 / (1 + 8t))

We evaluate for t = 0 and x₀ and the upper point t and x

   x -x₀ = -80 [1 / (1 + 8t) - 1]

We already have the function of time displacement

a) let's calculate the position at the two points and be

t = 0 h

     x = x₀

t = 0.2 h

    x-x₀ = -80 [1 / (1 +8 02) -1]

    x-x₀ = 49.23

displacement is

  Δx = x (0.2) - x (0)

   Δx = 49.23 mi

b) in the interval t = 0.2 h at t = 0.4 h

t = 0.4h

     x- x₀ = -80 [1 / (1+ 8 0.4) -1]

     x-x₀ = 55 mi

    Δx = x (0.4) - x (0.2)

     Δx = 55 - 49.23

     Δx = 5.77 mi

At what water temperature will additional heat energy need to be added before the temperature will change again?
Lostsunrise [7]
That would be 0 degrees Celsius aka the melting point of water.... If you look at the diagram I attached you notice that at 0 degrees Celsius it is flat, this is because much heat is needed at this point for water to rise to 1 degree... It is the same for the boiling point (100)<span />

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Charges,q_1=8\ \mu C=8\times 10^{-6}\ C

q_2=-5\ \mu C=-5\times 10^{-6}\ C

The distance between charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\\\F=36\ N

So, the required force between charges is 36 N and it is towards positive charge i.e. +8 μC.

How is the frequency of an electromagnetic wave related to energy
aivan3 [116]

Answer: The energy carried by an electromagnetic wave is proportional to the frequency of the wave.  

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves that are of higher energy than visible light (higher frequency, shorter wavelength) include ultraviolet light, X-rays, and gamma rays.

If a person is 6.25 m away from a 60.0 w speaker, what is the sound level they are hearing?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

110.87 dB

Explanation:

(I got it right on Acellus)

I= P/4(pi)r^2 = 60/4(pi)6.25^2

60/4(pi)6.25^2=0.12223

B=10log(I/Io)

B=10log(0.12223/1*10^-12) = 110.87 dB
