An object at rest starts accelerating.

Physics
1 answer:
Shalnov [3]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<u>We are given: </u>

initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

final velocity (v) = 10 m/s

displacement (s) = 20 m

acceleration (a) = a m/s/s

<u>Solving for 'a'</u>

From the third equation of motion:

v² - u² = 2as

replacing the variables

(10)² - (0)² = 2(a)(20)

100 = 40a

a = 100 / 40

a = 2.5 m/s²

If Team 4 wants to increase the horizontal distance that the skittles are projected through the air but keep the height as close
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The speed of the catapult arm needs to be increased.

Explanation:

If the height needs to stay the same, they can not change the length of the catapult arm because this is the variable that determines the height of the thrown object. To change the horizontal distance the object travels, in other words the object's speed, the rope or counterweigth that pulls the catapult arm can be changed to increase the speed that the object is thrown.

I hope this answer helps.

Nguồn phát của tia X
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Từ ánh sáng từ mặt trời đến nhiệt liên tục phát ra từ cơ thể chúng ta, có nhiều dạng bức xạ khác nhau. Tuy nhiên, khi nói đến bức xạ và nguy cơ ung thư, hầu hết mọi người đều nghĩ đến tia X và tia gamma.

Các nguồn tự nhiên của tia X và tia gamma bao gồm khí radon, chất phóng xạ trong lòng đất và các tia vũ trụ tấn công hành tinh từ không gian. Tuy nhiên, loại bức xạ này cũng có thể do con người gây ra. Tia X và tia gamma được sản xuất trong các nhà máy điện hạt nhân để sử dụng trong các xét nghiệm hình ảnh y tế, điều trị ung thư, chiếu xạ thực phẩm và máy quét an ninh sân bay với liều lượng nhỏ.

English:

From light from the sun to the heat that is continuously emitted from our bodies, there are many different forms of radiation. However, when it comes to radiation and cancer risk, most people think of X-rays and gamma rays.

Natural sources of X-rays and gamma rays include radon gas, underground radioactive material, and cosmic rays that strike the planet from space. However, this type of radiation can also be caused by humans. X-rays and gamma rays are produced in nuclear power plants for use in medical imaging tests, cancer treatments, food irradiation and airport security scanners in small doses.

When an object is dropped from the top of a tall cliff, your teacher tells you to use -10 m/s2 for the approximate acceleration
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

1. Answer: Option C

Displacement is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude as well as direction. Hence, it can be positive,  zero or negative. In the given question, downward direction is taken as negative. This we have come to know from the downward acceleration -10m/s^2. The negative sign indicates that downward direction is considered negative.

Now, since the object is dropped from the top. The displacement should be negative, because the negative represent a downward direction.

2. Answer: velocity

The truck is travelling at 30 mph to the west. From the unit mph (miles per hour), we know its a magnitude of velocity. West indicates the direction. Hence, the given quantity is a vector -velocity.

It is not speed because speed only indicates the magnitude and not the direction. speed is a scalar quantity.

Tendons are strong elastic fibers that attach muscles to bones. To a reasonable approximation, they obey Hooke's law. In laborat
meriva

Answer:

k = 200 N/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the object  = 251 g

                                = 251 x 10⁻³ Kg = 0.251 Kg

distance of tendon stretch = x = 1.23 cm

                                            = 1.23 x 10⁻² = 0.0123 m

using the formula

F = k  x

where

k is the force constant of the tendon

F = m g

F = 0.251 x 9.8 = 2.4598 N

2.4598 = k x 0.0123

k = 199.98 N/m

k = 200 N/m

hence, force constant of the tendon is approximately equal to 200 N/m
