Answer:

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of the sprinter is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the sprinter at a time t.

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

Since the origin of the frame of reference is located at the starting point and the sprinter starts from rest, then, x0 and v0 are equal to zero:

x = 1/2 · a · t²

At t = 9.9 s, x = 71 m

71 m = 1/2 · a · (9.9 s)²

2 · 71 m / (9.9 s)² = a

a = 1.4 m/s²

The acceleration of the sprinter is 1.4 m/s²

Which statement about the total velocity of a projectile launched at an angle less than 90° above a flat surface is true?
marissa [1.9K]

The correct answer is B the total velocity is equal at both landing and launch because before your about launch you have 0 velocity then when you have landed you also have 0 velocity. Hope This Helps

Study the interaction of the light rays with the mediums. Classify the medium in each image as being transparent or opaque.
Tresset [83]

Answer:

a) transparent

b) transparent

c) opaque

Explanation:

In the first one, the light rays go completely through, so it is transparent.

The second one I'm not too sure about. It is refraction so it's going through a different material, but the fact that it went through makes me say transparent.

Last one, the light rays are reflecting off the surface so it's opaque.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. This is just my understanding

Students are experimenting with circuits in their physics class and they build the two working circuits pictured below. The batt
bija089 [108]

The complete observation about adding bulb 3 is the brightness of the bulbs has to do with power which considers both the voltage and the current: less voltage x less current = dimmer bulbs.  In circuit A, the voltage is divided across the resistors and the current decreases as resistance increases.  In circuit B, the voltage is the same in each parallel section of the circuit and the current through that section of the circuit only depends on the resistor in that section.

<h3>What is power of the circuit?</h3>

The power of the bulb or any resistor is equal to the product of voltage and  current flowing through it.

P = VI

Circuit A has bulbs in series while the circuit B has bulbs in parallel.

When bulb 3 added to circuit A,  the brightness of all the bulbs dimmed but when bulb 3 (R3) added to circuit B, nothing changed in the brightness of the bulb.

The brightness is depended on the power of the circuit. When both the voltage and current are less, the bulb will be dimmed. In circuit A, series resistors divide the voltage across them. In circuit B, voltage is equal for all the resistors.

Thus, the last option is correct.

PLEASE ANSWER, 75 PTS, AND BRANLIEST!
n200080 [17]

Answer:

An electromagnet is a device which moving electric charges(current) in a coil of wire create a magnet. Electromagnets can easily be turned off and on because it is a electromagnet. When current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is produced around a wire and create an electromagnet. The coils are always made of copper wire because copper is a good conductor of electricity.
