A racecar is equipped with a computer that records the reading on its speedometer every second during a race. If you graph this

data, what will be the best choice for the dependent variable?
a. time
b. position
c. average velocity
d. instantaneous velocity

Because it records speed of the car at a certain time, the independent variable should be time and dependent would be speed or velocity. Since it's taken every second, it would be considered instantaneous velocity, which is D.

A transverse wave is set up in a very long string. The oscillator is set at 20.0 Hz, and the wave speed is 78 m/s. The amplitude

To solve this problem we must apply the concepts related to Tangential Acceleration based on angular velocity and acceleration, and therefore, we must also calculate angular velocity based on the given frequency. For all these problems we will take the Units to the International System. The maximum acceleration would then be defined as,

$a_{max} = \omega^2 A$

Here,

$\omega$ = Angular velocity

A = Amplitude

At the same time the angular velocity is described as,

$\omega = 2\pi f$

Here f means the frequency of the wave. Substituting,

$\omega = 2 \pi (20)$

$\omega = 40\pi$

$A = 5.2cm$

$A = 0.052m$

Replacing at the first equation,

$a_{max} = (40\pi )^2 (0.052)$

$a_{max} = 821.15m/s^2$

Therefore the maximum particle acceleration for a point on the string is $821.15m/s^2$

I'd say ground. <span>Voltage in the US is 110-120 volts while in other countries it is 220-240 volts. if you have a 110-120 volt appliance, you need a step-up transformer (110 to 220)before you could use it in a 220 volt power supply.</span>

A stuntwoman is going to attempt a jump across a canyon that is 77 m wide. The ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower

liq [111]

initial speed of the stuntman is given as

$v = 28 m/s$

angle of inclination is given as

$\theta = 15 degree$

now the components of the velocity is given as

$v_x = 28 cos15 = 27.04 m/s$

$v_y = 28 sin15 = 7.25 m/s$

here it is given that the ramp on the far side of the canyon is 25 m lower than the ramp from which she will leave.

So the displacement in vertical direction is given as

$\delta y = -25 m$

$\delta y = v_y * t + \frac{1}{2} at^2$

$-25 = 7.25 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8* t^2$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 3.12 s$

Now in the above interval of time the horizontal distance moved by it is given by

$d_x = v_x * t$

$d_x = 27.04 * 3.12 = 84.4 m$

since the canyon width is 77 m which is less than the horizontal distance covered by the stuntman so here we can say that stuntman will cross the canyon.
