Answer:

Acceleration, $a=4.83\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the meteor, m = 521 kg

Force acting on the meteor, F = 2520 N

Let a is the acceleration of the meteor. It can be calculated using the Newton's second law of motion. According to this law the force acting on an object is equal to the product of mass and acceleration with which it is moving. Mathematically, it is given by :

$F=m\times a$

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}$

$a=\dfrac{2520\ N}{521\ kg}$

$a=4.83\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the meteor is $4.83\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20.00 m/s. Neglecting air resistance, how long is the ball in th

algol [13]

Answer:

1) The greatest height attained by the ball equals 20.387 meters.

2) The time it takes for the ball to reach 15 meters approximately equals 1 second.

Explanation:

The greatest height will be attained when the ball stop's in the air and starts falling back to the earth.

thus using third equation of kinematics we obtain the height attained as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where

'v' is the final speed of the ball

'u' is the initial speed of the ball

'a' is the acceleration that the ball is under which in this case equals 9.81 $m/s^{2}$

's' is the distance it covers

Thus for maximum height applying the values in the equation we get

$0=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times h\\\\\therefore h=\frac{20^{2}}{2\times 9.81}=20.387meters$

Using the same equation we can find the speed of the ball when it reaches 15 meters of height as

$v^2=20^{2}-2\times 9.81\times 15\\\\v^{2}=105.7\\\\\therefore v=10.28m/s$

the time it takes to reduce the velocity to this value can be found by first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at\\\\t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\frac{10.28-20}{-9.81}=0.991seconds\approx 1second$

What will occur when the waves peak at the same place at the same time?

dedylja [7]

Hello!

This is a matter of superposition.
When the waves peak at the same time and place, they produce constructive interference, meaning the waves interact together in a positive way, to make a wave with Amplitude of both waves added together. When the peaks differ however, at the same time and place, then it is destructive interference and the waves essentially cancel each other out.

Hope this helps. Any questions please just ask. Thank you kindly.

A wave has a velocity of 24 m/s and a period of 3.0 s. Calculate the wavelength of the wave.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Velocity (unit:m/s) of the wave is given with the formula:

v=f∧,

where f is the frequency which tells us how many waves are passing a point per second (unit: Hz) and ∧ is the wavelength, which tells us the length of those waves in metres (unit:m)

f=1/T , where T is the period of the wave.

In our case: f=1/3

∧=v/f=24m/s/1/3=24*3=72m
