The given values are:
Vo = 0 m/s
x = 1.4 mi = <span>402.336 m</span>
t = 6.7 s

The velocity of the dragster when it crosses the finish line is calculated as follows:

x=(at^2)/2
a=2x/t^2
a=2(402.336 m) / (6.7 s)^2
a=17.93 m/s^2

<span>V=Vo+at
</span>V=0+17.93 m/s^2 x 6.7s
V= 120.131 m/s

V0=0m/s (initially at rest)
t=6,7s
s=1/4mi=402,336m
s=(a*t^2)/2   ->   a=2*s/t^2    ->  a=2*402,336m/(6,7s)^2
a=804,672/44,89=17,93 m/s^2
<span>v=v0+at
</span>v=0+17,93 m/s^2 * 6,7s = 120,131 m/s = 432,4716 km/h

On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?
Genrish500 [490]

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

One end of a horizontal spring with force constant 130.0 Ni'm is attached to a vertical wall. A 4.00-kg block sitting on the flo
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

When the spring is compressed by .80 m , restoring force by spring on block

= 130 x .80

= 104 N , acting away from wall

External force = 82 N , acting towards wall

Force of friction acting towards wall = μmg

= .4 x 4 x 9.8

= 15.68 N

Net force away from wall

= 104 -15.68 - 82

= 6.32 N

Acceleration

= 6.32 / 4

= 1.58 m / s²

It will be away from wall

Energy released by compressed spring = 1/2 k x²

= .5 x 130 x .8²

= 41.6 J

Energy lost in friction

= μmg x  .8

= .4 x 4 x 9.8 x .8

= 12.544 J

Energy available to block

= 41.6 - 12.544 J

= 29 J

Kinetic energy of block = 29

1/2 x 4 x v² = 29

v = 3.8 m / s

This will b speed of block as soon as spring relaxes. (x = 0 )

For two traveling waves, if the crest of one wave coincides with a trough of another, what type of interference occurs?
kogti [31]
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
