Answer:
+7.0 m/s
Explanation:
Let's take rightward as positive direction.
So in this problem we have:
a = -2.5 m/s^2 acceleration due to the wind (negative because it is leftward)
t = 4 s time interval
v = -3.0 m/s is the final velocity (negative because it is leftward)
We can use the following equation:
v = u + at
Where u is the initial velocity
We want to find u, so if we rearrange the equation we find:
and the positive sign means the initial direction was rightward.
Answer:
0.16Hz
Explanation:
wavelength (λ) = 125 meters
speed (V) = 20 m/s
frequency (F) = ?
Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one
second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.
So, apply the formula V = F λ
Make F the subject formula
F = V / λ
F = 20 m/s / 125 meters
F = 0.16 Hz
The law of conservation of matter states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed. It can only be transformed from one form to another. To state an example where this is shown, let's say a piece of paper is burning. Not having a scientific background, you would say that the matter is being destroyed. But in reality, the paper is simple being transformed to ash, carbon dioxide, and water vapor. Overall, the total mass would still remain the same.
You will use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve it.
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1.5)^2 + (2)^2
c^2 = 6.25
c = square root of 6.25
c = 2.5
I hope this helps!
