Answer:

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

Explanation:

What is acceleration?

It is the change in velocity with respect to time, or the rate of change of velocity.

We can write this as:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}

Where

a is the acceleration

v is velocity

t is time

\Delta  is "change in"

For this problem , we are given

a = 1.2

t = 10

Putting into formula, we get:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{t}\\1.2=\frac{\Delta v}{10}\\\Delta v = 1.2*10\\\Delta v = 12

So, the change in velocity is 12 m/s

The change in velocity can also be written as:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity

It is given Final Velocity = 16, so we put it into formula and find Initial Velocity. Shown Below:

\Delta v = Final  \ Velocity - Initial \ Velocity\\12=16-Initial \ Velocity\\Initial \ Velocity = 16 - 12 = 4

hence,

Initial Velocity is 4 m/s

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 33.0 nC , respecti
matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

              \phi  = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}    (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = \phi \times \epsilon_{o}

                = -953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}

                = -8.4 \times 10^{-9} C

                = -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q  then,

         -14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

               q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.

How many minutes would it take a light wave to travel from the planet Venus to Earth? (Average distance from Venus to Earth = 28
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

t=2.51min

Explanation:

The time taken by the light to travel a given distance is defined as:

t=\frac{d}{c}

Here c is obviously the speed of light. Now we convert the average distance form Venus to Earth to meters:

28*10^{6}mi*\frac{1609.34}{1mi}=4.51*10^{10}m

Finally, we calculate the minutes taken by the light to travel from Venus to Earth:

t=\frac{4.51*10^{10}m}{3*10^8\frac{m}{s}}\\t=150.33s*\frac{1min}{60s}=2.51min

Water waves in a small tank are 6.6 m long. They travel at a speed of 2.9 m/s. What is the frequency of the water
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

.439 Hz

Explanation:

Wavelength = 6.6 m

speed = 2.9 m/s

  2.9 = 6.6 f

f = 2.9/6.6 =  .439 Hz
