It takes a truck 3.56 seconds to slow down from 112 km/h to 87.4 km/h. What is its average acceleration?

Physics

Answer:

option B

−1.92 m/s2

Explanation:

Given in the question,

time took by truck to slow down = 3.56 sec

initial speed of truck = 112 km/h

final speed of truck = 87.4 km/h

1 km/h = 0.277778 m/s

112 = 31.1 m/s

87.4 = 24.28 m/s

Formula use to calculate the acceleration

v - u = at

where v is final speed

           u is initial speed

           a is acceleration

           t is time

plug values in the equation

24.28 - 31.1 = a(3.56)

-6.8 = a(3.56)

a = -6.8 / 3.56

a = -1.9 m/s²

3. the definition of the FREQUENCY of a sound is​
sergiy2304 [10]
Definition: Frequency is the measurement of the number of times that a repeated event occurs per unit of time. Sound moves through a medium such as air or water as waves. It is measured in terms of frequency and amplitude. Frequency, sometimes referred to as pitch, is the number of times per second that a sound pressure wave repeats itself.

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let X_A be its distance. In t hours he has walked

X_A=5t\ \text{miles}

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

X_B=6t\ \text{miles}

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}

D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}

D=\sqrt{61}t

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

\sqrt{61}t=2

t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours

t is approximately 15 minutes

The pan flute is a musical instrument consisting of a number of closed-end tubes of different lengths. When the musician blows o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

  f = 276.6 Hz

Explanation:

This musical instrument can be approximated to a tube system where each tube has one end open and the other closed.

In the closed part there is a node and in the open part a belly or antinode. Therefore the wavelength is

          L = λ/ 4

speed is related to wavelength and frequency

          v = λ f

          λ = v / f

we substitute

          L = v / 4f

          f = v / 4L

the speed of sound at 20ºC is

          v = 343 m / s

let's calculate

          f = \frac{343 }{4 \ 0.31}

          f = 276.6 Hz

Without using a micrometer screw gauge, how do I find the average diameter of a long piece of thin wire using a metre rule and a
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Wind the long piece of thin wire around the uniform glass rod multiple times, find the length of the total diameters using the metre ruler, and divide by the number of times you wound it around the rod.

Explanation:

Since the diameter of one long piece of thin wire is too thin to be measured by a metre ruler, you can wind it multiple times and push it side by side to get a length you can measure.

For example, if you wound it around 20 times and the total length of 20 diameters of the wire side-by-side is 2.0 cm, one winding, which is the diameter would be 2.0cm ÷ 20 = 0.10cm or 1mm.
