Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

2. A can filled with sand has a mass of 0.65kg is swung overhead in a horizontal circle of radius 0.70m at a constant rate of 2.
Aliun [14]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 5 Kgm²/sec

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Angular momentum is given by the formula

L = Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the radius

 = 0.65 × 0.7²

 = 0.3185

Angular speed, ω = v/r

                              = (2 × 3.142 × r × 2.5) r

                              =  15.71

Therefore;

Angular momentum =  Iω

                                 = 0.3185 × 15.71

                                 = 5.003635

                                 <u>≈ 5 Kgm²/sec</u>

What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 54,000 km?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where:

V_{e} is the escape velocity

G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the Universal Gravitational constant

M=5.976(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

R=6371 km=6371000 m is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height h=54000 km=54000000 m over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}

Finally:

V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s

Two loudspeakers emit identical sound waves along the x-axis. The sound at a point on the axis has maximum intensity when the sp
EleoNora [17]

The concept required to solve this problem is related to the wavelength.

The wavelength can be defined as the distance between two positive crests of a wave.

The waves are in phase, then the first distance is

\Delta x_1 = 20cm

And out of the phase when

\Delta x_2 = 30cm

Thus the wavelength is

\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 = \frac{\lambda}{2}

Here,

\lambda =  Wavelength

If we rearrange the equation to find it, we will have

\lambda = 2 (\Delta x_2-\Delta x_1 )

\lambda= 2(30-20)

\lambda = 20cm

Therefore the wavelength of the sound is 20cm.
