A parachute is a device used to slow down an object that is falling towards the ground. without a parachute the gravity is more than air resistance. But, as the parachute opens, the air resistance increases.

An object is moving initially with a velocity of 4.7 m/s . After 3.9 s the object's velocity is -2.1 m/s . What is the object's
IgorC [24]

Answer: The acceleration of the object is 0.67m/s^2 west.

Explanation: Here we are given the initial velocity and final velocity as well as the time taken. Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time, thus the equation becomes.

a=dv/t

a=vf-vi/t

a=-2.1-4.7/3.9

a= 0.66m/s^2 west

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave functiony(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t)where x and y are in meters an
ella [17]

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

<h3>How to solve for the time interval</h3>

We have y = 0.175

y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.175

sin (1.25x + 99.6t) = 0.5

99.62 = pi/6

t1 = 5.257 x 10⁻³

99.6t = pi/6 + 2pi

= 0.0683

The time interval that is between the first two instants when the element has a position of 0.175 is 0.0683.

b. we have k = 1.25, w = 99.6t

v = w/k

99.6/1.25 = 79.68

s = vt

= 79.68 * 0.0683

= 5.02

A transverse wave on a string is described by the wave function y(x, t) = 0.350 sin (1.25x + 99.6t) where x and y are in meters and t is in seconds. Consider the element of the string at x=0. (a) What is the time interval between the first two instants when this element has a position of y= 0.175 m? (b) What distance does the wave travel during the time interval found in part (a)?

The right eye and right lung are __________.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

The correct answer is A) Ipsilateral

Explanation:

The term ipsilateral is commonly used to describe objects or structures that are on the same side of a body or structure. This term is correct to describe the right eye and the right lung because these two organs are on the same side of the body (the right side). This can also be used to describe other organs such as the left humerus and the left hand or the right ear and the right feet because these pairs are also on the same side. According to this, the correct answer is A.

Two children are balanced on a seesaw that has a mass of 18.0 kg. The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

1.28 m

Explanation:

As shown in the diagram attached,

According to the principle of moment,

For a body at equilibrium,

Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Taking moment about the pivot,

W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1

Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.

But,

W = mg

Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body

Therefore,

W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,

Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N

W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N

Substitute these values into equation 1

(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)

407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x

337.12x = 431.1412

x = 431.1412/337.12

x = 1.2789

x ≈ 1.28 m
