Answer:

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

Explanation:

The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.

distance d = 5.0 m

Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s

Final speed v = 5.8 m/s

The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;

d = 0.5(u+v)t

time t = 2d/(u+v)

Substituting the given values;

t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)

t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;

acceleration a = ∆v/t

a = (v-u)/t

Substituting the values;

a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667

a = -5.099974500127

a = -5.10 m/s^2

her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2

A particle undergoes two displacements. The first has a magnitude of 11 m and makes an angle of 82 ◦ with the positive x axis. T
Luden [163]

Answer:

\theta = 211.7 degree

Explanation:

First displacement of the particle is given as

r_1 = 11 m at 82 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

\vec r_1 = 11 cos82 \hat i + 11 sin82 \hat j

\vec r_1 = 1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j

resultant displacement of the particle after second displacement is given as

r = 8.7 m at 135 degree with positive X axis

so we can say

r = 8.7 cos135\hat i + 8.7 sin135\hat j

r = -6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j

now we know that

r = r_1 + r_2

now we have

r_2 = r - r_1

so we will have

r_2 = (-6.15 \hat i + 6.15 \hat j) - (1.53\hat i + 10.9 \hat j)

r_2 = -7.68 \hat i - 4.75 \hat j

so angle of the second displacement is given as

tan\theta = \frac{r_y}{r_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-4.75}{-7.68}

\theta = 211.7 degree

"Place ½ teaspoon of baking soda in each large container. If the baking soda is lumpy, first place it on a small plate and use t
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The reaction only takes place if the reactants are in contact, then the surface exposed is very important because as the exposed surface of the reactants increases, the reaction velocity also increases. If the lumps are not broken up, a big amount of baking soda would be only available to react after the surrounding soda has already reacted.
