No, the speed at which an object falls is not equal to the acceleration at which it falls.

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Speed is defined as how fast an object can cover a specific distance and in what time it covers. So it is measured as the ratio of distance covered to the time taken to cover that distance. While acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Moreover, speed is a scalar quantity and acceleration is a vector quantity. So most of the times, the direction will play an important role in the varying values of speed and acceleration. Also, acceleration of an object will depend upon the force and mass of the object. Thus, speed and acceleration will not attain same value always.

A bridge to be fabricated of steel girders is designed to be 500 m long and 12 m wide at ambient temperature (assumed 20°C). Exp

Answer:

21.7391304348 m

Explanation:

L = Initial length = 500 m

$\Delta T$ = Change in temperature = 40-(-35)

$\alpha$ = Coefficient of thermal expansion = $12\times 10^{-6}\ /^{\circ}C$

Change in length is given by

$\Delta L=L\alpha \Delta T\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=500\times 12\times 10^{-6}\times (40-(-35))\\\Rightarrow \Delta L=0.45\ m$

The change in length is 0.45 m

The number of joints would be

$n=\dfrac{0.45}{0.02}\\\Rightarrow n=22.5\\\Rightarrow n\approx 23$

The number of joints is 23

Each bridge section length would be

$\dfrac{L}{n}=\dfrac{500}{23}=21.7391304348\ m$

The length of each bridge section would be 21.7391304348 m

Please help me with Part B & help me correct the rest of the questions

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

Magnetic activity and sunspots are in a proportional relationship.

Explanation:

From the graph, as one increases, so does the other, thus we describe the relationship as proportional.

Other than that, all of your other answers seem correct.

1500 kg Peugeot car is traveling at 16.67 m s ⁻¹ and accelerates to 30.56 m s ⁻¹ for 2 minutes. Calculate the impulse of the car

Elis [28]

Answer:

2084 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is change in momentum

Mathematically;

Impulse, J= F*t=mΔv where

F= ma = 1500 * { 30.56 - 16.67}/2*60

F= 1500 *0.11575

F= 174 N

J=F*t

J= 174*120*0.1

J= 2084 kg*m/s

What is the magnitude of the electric force on an electron in a uniform electric field of strength 2050 n/c that points due east

erastova [34]

Given E=2050 N/C

charge of an electron = 1.6×10^-19 C

USING E = F/Q , electric field = force ÷ charge

2050 = F ÷ (1.6×10^-19)....

make F subject of formula and get the answer
