You accelerate from 2m/s to 6m/s while traveling a distance of 2m; what was your acceleration?
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The acceleration is 8 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial velocity, u = 2 m/s

The final velocity, v = 6 m/s

The distance the acceleration took place, s = 2 m

The acceleration, a, can be found from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

By substituting the values, we have;

6² = 2² + 2 × a × 2

6² - 2² = 2 × a × 2

32 = 4·a

a = 32/4 = 8 m/s²

The acceleration, a, of the given motion = 8 m/s².

a kid on a playground swing makes 6 complete to-and-from swings each 30 seconds (a) the frequency of the swinging is? (b) the pe
Mariana [72]

The frequency is how many per second:

       (6 swings)/(30 sec) = (6/30) swing/sec = 0.2 per sec = 0.2 Hz .

The period is how long each one takes, or seconds per swing.
It's exactly the flip of frequency.
So we could just take the frequency, flip it, and find   1 / 0.2 ,
but let's do it the long way:

      (30 sec) / (6 swings) = (30/6) sec/swing =  5 seconds  .

A manometer is used to measure the air pressure in a tank. The fluid used has a specific gravity of 1.25, and the differential h
Sloan [31]

Answer:

77.88 lbm/ft³

Explanation:

Given,

Specific gravity, SG = 1.25

Density of water, ρ = 62.30 lbm/ft³

density of the fluid =

   = S.G x ρ_{water}

   = 62.30 x 1.25

   = 77.88 lbm/ft³

Density of the fluid is equal to 77.88 lbm/ft³
