The acceleration will triple as well

SOVA2 [1]2 years ago

F = ma

Assuming that the mass of the object remains constant,
3F = xma
where x is the ratio that the acceleration increases by.

x = 3, so the acceleration will triple.

What causes light to bend when it moves from one transparent medium to another?

DedPeter [7]

Light refracts whenever it travels at an angle into a substance with a differentrefractive index (optical density). This change of direction is caused by a change in speed. For example, when light travels from air into water, it slows down, causing it to continue to travel at a different angle or direction.

A jet on an aircraft carrier can be launched from rest to 40 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the acceleration of the aircraft? Show st

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

$a=20\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed, v = 40 m/s

Time, t = 2 s

We need to find the acceleration of the aircraft. We know that, acceleration is equal to the rate of change of velocity. So,

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\a=\dfrac{40-0}{2}\\\\=20\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the aircraft is $20\ m/s^2$ .

A spool whose inner core has a radius of 1.00 cm and whose end caps have a radius of 1.50 cm has a string tightly wound around t

White raven [17]

Answer:

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use that angular and linear velocity are related

v = w r

in the case of the spool the angular velocity for the whole system is constant,

They indicate the linear velocity v₀ = 25.0 cm / s for a radius of r₀ = 1.00 cm,

w = v₀ /r₀

for the outside of the spool r₁ = 1.5 cm

w = v₁ / r₁1

since the angular velocity is the same we set the two expressions equal

$\frac{v_o}{r_o} = \frac{v_1}{r_1}$

v1 = $\frac{r_1}{r_o} \ \ v_o$

let's calculate

v₁ = $\frac{1.50}{1.00} \ \ 25.0$

v₁ = 37.5 cm / s

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s^2. How long will it take for that object to reach 3400m ?

Norma-Jean [14]

Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
a= 34 m/s^2
Vi = 0 m/s
d = 3400m

Vf = 480.83 m/s

a=v/t
t=v/a
t=480.83/34
t=14.142 s

KonstantinChe [14]

Before positive psychology, the main focus was mostly pathology, that is, studying various psychological issues and sometimes finding ways to treat them, or sometimes not and just studying them for the sake of studying them and noting their occurrence.
