Answer:

3.07 m/s

Explanation:

We know that from kinematics equation

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as and here, a=g where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is acceleration, s is the distance moved, g is acceleration due to gravity

Making u the subject then

u=\sqrt {v^{2}-2gs}

Substituting v for 6.79 m/s, s for 1.87 m and g as 9.81 m/s2 then

u=\sqrt {6.79^{2}-(2\times 9.81\times 1.87)}=3.068338313 m/s\approx 3.07 m/s

When you drive a car around a curve that is not banked, what force provides the centripetal acceleration? HINT: Think about turn
algol [13]
The centripetal force is provided by the friction between the tyres and the ground. That's why a car will slip on ice, because there is less friction.

Why do the constellations seem to move around in the sky?.
Gnoma [55]

Answer: As Earth spins on its axis, we, as Earth-bound observers, spin past this background of distant stars. As Earth spins, the stars appear to move across our night sky from east to west, for the same reason that our Sun appears to “rise” in the east and “set” in the west.

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.

A scientist makes a device to catch baseballs. A long bar of total mass 2.2kg and length 1.2m is fixed at its center. It catches
Valentin [98]

Answer:

ωf = 4.53 rad/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the angular momentum:

Ib*ωb = (Ib + Ic)*ωf

Where

Ib is the inertia of the ball

ωb is the initial angular velocity of the ball

Ic is the inertia of the catcher

ωf is the final angular velocity of the system

We need to calculate first Ib, Ic, ωb:

Ib = mb*(L/2)^2=0.15*(1.2/2)^2=0.054 kg.m^2

Ic = mc/12*L^2=2.2/12*1.2^2=0.264 kg.m^2

ωb = Vb / (L/2) = 16 / (1.2/2) = 26.67 m/s

Now, ωf will be:

\omega f = \frac{Ib*\omega b}{Ib + Ic}  = 4.53rad/s
