A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

the car's average acceleration in ft/s2? (b) In 3.0 more seconds, the car is going 76 ft/s (52 mi/h). What is the car's average acceleration for this time period?

Answer:

a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

a)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\

b)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

An astronaut with a mass of 91 kg is 0.30 m above the moons surface. The astronauts potential energy is 46 J. Calculate the free
Blababa [14]

Answer:

the free-fall acceleration on the moon is 1.68 m/s^2

Explanation:

recall the formula for the gravitational potential energy (under acceleration of gravity "g"):

PE = m * g * h

replacing with our values for the problem:

46 J = 91 * g * 0.3

solve for the "g" on the Moon:

g = 46 / (91 * 0.3)

g = 1.68  m/s^2

A trombone can produce pitches ranging from 85 Hz to 660 Hz approximately. When the trombone is producing a 562 Hz tone, what is
tester [92]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of wavelength, which warns that this is equivalent to the relationship between the speed of the air (in this case in through the air) and the frequency of that wave. The air is in standard conditions so we have the relation,

Frequency = f = 562Hz

Speed of sound in air = v = 331m/s

The definition of wavelength is,

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Here,

v = Velocity

f = Frequency

Replacing,

\lambda = \frac{331m/s}{562Hz}

\lambda = 0.589m

Therefore the wavelength of that tone in air at standard conditions is 0.589m
