Average acceleration<span> is the change in velocity divided by an elapsed time.  So, we can calculate it as follows:

acceleration = 5 - 0 / 10 - 0 = 0.5 kilometers/second^2

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Average acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is  (5,000 - 0)  =  5,000 m/s

Average acceleration  =  (5,000 m/s)  /  (10 sec)

                                 =      500 m/s²       (about  51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer.  So my answer can also be written as  0.5 km/s² .  That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec²  (d)</em> .

The mass of the uniform cantilever is 1100 kg. Determine the force on the beam at A. Determine the force on the beam at B. Use C
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Force A=-−2,697.75 N

Force B=13, 488.75 N

Explanation:

Taking moments at point A, the sum of clockwise and anticlockwise moments equal to zero.

25 mg-20Fb=0

25*1100g=20Fb

Fb=25*1100g/20=1375g

Taking g as 9.81 then Fb=1375*9.81=13,488.75 N

The sum of upward and downward forces are same hence Fa=1100g-1375g=-275g

-275*9.81=−2,697.75. Therefore, force A pulls downwards

Note that the centre of gravity is taken to be half the whole length hence half of 50 is 25 m because center of gravity is always at the middle

Which example is NOT a part of the electromagnetic spectrum?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Electricity is NOT a part of electromagnetic spectrum.

An electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic radiations arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Electromagnetic waves  </h3>
  • Electromagnetic waves are types of waves that do not require a material medium for transmission.
  • These waves are mostly transverse in nature, which means the direction of transmission is perpendicular to the direction of vibration of particles.
  • They include, light waves, radio waves, x-rays, infra-red, etc.
<h3>Electromagnetic spectrum </h3>
  • An electromagnetic wave shows electromagnetic waves arranged according to frequencies and wavelength.  
  • Electromagnetic spectrum contains electromagnetic waves: Gamma rays, x-rays, Ultraviolet, Visible light, infra-red, microwaves, and radio waves.
  • The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into various sections based on wavelength, with gamma rays having the shortest wavelength and radio waves having the longest wavelength.
  • The part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we can see using our naked eyes is called the visible light spectrum.
  • In order of frequency, the radio waves have the lowest frequency while gamma rays have the largest frequency.
<h3>General characteristics of electromagnetic waves  </h3>
  • They travel with the speed of light (3.0 x 10^8 m/s)
  • They possess energy that is given by; E =hf, where h is the plank’s constant and f is the frequency.
  • They are transverse in nature, and therefore, the wavelength is measured between successful crests or troughs.
  • They can travel through vacuum

Keywords: Electromagnetic spectrum, electromagnetic waves.

Samuel hits a ball, which is initially at rest, off of a tee. What is the velocity of the ball after it is hit, if Samuel applie
aniked [119]

Answer:

7.39 m/s

Explanation:

Applying

K.E = 1/2mv²..................... Equation 1

Where K.E = Kinetic Energy, m = mass of the ball, v = velocity of the ball.

Make v the subject of the equation

v = √(2K.E/m)................. Euqation 2

From the question,

Given: K.E = 30 J, m = 1.1kg

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = √(2×30/1.1)

v = √54.54

v = 7.39 m/s
