A skateboarder has an acceleration of −1.9 m/s2. If her initial speed is 6 m/s, how long does it take her to stop?

1 answer:

6 0

You said that she's losing 1.9 m/s of her speed every second.

So it'll take

(6 m/s) / (1.9 m/s²) = 3.158 seconds (rounded)

to lose all of her initial speed, and stop.

What separates the terrestrial planets from the jovian or gas planets in space?

Flura [38]

In our solar system, terrestrial planets are separated from the gas giants by the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between Mars and Jupiter where asteroids are located. Gas giants do not have a solid surface and possible a small rocky core. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The first four planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Would sound travel faster in a thick piece of metal (high density) or a large hollow piece of metal (low density)?

KiRa [710]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

The speed of sound waves can be calculated using the following equation:

$v_{s}=\sqrt{\frac{E}{ro} } \\where:\\E = Young's modulus [GPa]\\ro = density of the material [kg/m^3]$

Let's do the exercise of comparing two materials one denser than the other, as is steel and aluminum

ro_steel = 7500 [kg/m^3]

ro_aluminum = 2700 [kg/m^3]

E_steel = 200 [GPa]

E_aluminum = 70 [GPa]

Now replacing the values in the equation for each material.

$v_{steel}=\sqrt{\frac{200*10^9}{7500}}\\ v_{steel}=5163[m/s]$

And for the aluminum

$v_{aluminum}=\sqrt{\frac{70*10^9}{2700} }\\ v_{aluminum}=5091.75[m/s]$

In this way we can see that sound propagates faster in denser materials.
