During a football game, the running back changes direction from running 4.5 m/s [N] to 4.5 m/s [S] over 8 s. What is the acceler

Explanation:

Take north to be positive and south to be negative.

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (-4.5 m/s − 4.5 m/s) / 8 s

a = -1.125 m/s²

The acceleration is 1.125 m/s² south.

In a thin film experiment, a wedge of air is used between two glass plates. If the wavelength of the incident light in air is 48
cluponka [151]

Answer:

The thickness is  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The wavelength is  \lambda  = 480 \ nm = 480*10^{-9} \  m

    The first order of the dark  fringe is  m_1 =  16

     The second order of dark fringe considered is  m_2 = 6

Generally the condition for destructive interference is mathematically represented as

        y = \frac{m \lambda}{2}

Here y is the path difference between the central maxima(i.e the origin) and any dark fringe

So  the path difference between the 16th dark fringe and the 6th dark fringe is mathematically represented as

      y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{m_1 \lambda}{2} -  \frac{m_2 \lambda}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  \frac{16 *480*10^{-9}}{2} -  \frac{6 *480*10^{-9}}{2}

=>  y_1 - y_2 = \Delta y =  5 (480*10^{-9})

=>  \Delta y =  2.4 *10^{-6} \  m

What does each system help you do?
Maru [420]

Explanation:

1.The somatic nervous system is the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of body movements via skeletal muscles. 

2. The autonomic nervous system is a control system that acts largely unconsciously and regulates bodily functions, such as the heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, pupillary response, urination, ect...

3. Sympathetic Division is a term used by researchers and medical practitioners to describe the subdivision of the autonomic nervous system (that controls involuntary and automatic physical reactions) that responds to emergency situations by mobilizing and controlling the energy necessary to cope with the situation.

4. The part of the autonomic nervous system that tends to act in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, as by slowing down the heart and dilating the blood vessels. It also regulates the function of many glands, such as those that produce tears and saliva.

5. a regulatory substance produced in an organism and transported in tissue fluids such as blood or sap to stimulate specific cells or tissues into action.

A ball is thrown vertically downwards with a speed 7.3 m/s from the top of a 51 m tall building. With what speed will it hit the
ddd [48]

Answer:

32.46m/s

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this exercise we must be clear that the ball moves with constant acceleration with the value of gravity = 9.81m / S ^ 2

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are the follow

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed =7.3m/S

A = g=acceleration =9.81m/s^2

X = displacement =51m}

solving for Vf

Vf=\sqrt{Vo^2+2gX}\\Vf=\sqrt{7.3^2+2(9.81)(51)}=32.46m/s

the speed with the ball hits the ground is 32.46m/s

What is the speed of light in a vacuume?
-Dominant- [34]

The speed of light in vacuum is exactly

299,792,458 meters per second.

That's so exact that it's the official scientific definition of a "meter".

The number doesn't t change even if the flashlight or other light source is moving.

Charge g is distributed in a spherically symmetric ball of radius a. (a) Evaluate the average volume charge density p. (b) Now a
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * π * a^3

The volume charge density would then be:

p = Q/V

p = 3*Q/(4 * π * a^3)

If the charge density depends on the radius:

p = f(r) = k * r

I integrate the charge density in spherical coordinates. The charge density integrated in the whole volume is equal to total charge.

Q = \int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {k * r} \, dr * r*d\theta* r*d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0  \int\limits^r_0 {r^3} \, dr * d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0\int\limits^\pi_0 {\frac{r^4}{4}} \, d\theta* d\phi

Q = k *\int\limits^{2*\pi}_0 {\frac{\pi r^4}{4}} \,  d\phi

Q = \frac{\pi^2 r^4}{2}}

Since p = k*r

Q = p*π^2*r^3 / 2

Then:

p(r) = 2*Q / (π^2*r^3)
