Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s

A 360-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 1.90 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil
Igoryamba

Answer:

684J

Explanation:

So basically the formula for gravitational potential energy is Mass X Gravity X height. That is G.p.e = mgh

We don't have the mass but since we have the height, we multiply directly with the height since the quantity of weight is already given.

so G.p.e = 360 X 1.9 = 684J

Note that; The answer is in joules because g.p.e is work done.

Hope that was helpful!!

a motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 5.1 m/s starting from rest how far can it travell in 1.5 sec
Katarina [22]
The answer is 21m because the motion is in one dimension with constant acceleration.

The initial velocity is 0, because it started from rest, the acceleration <span>ax</span> is <span>4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span></span>, and the time t is <span>3.0s</span>

Plugging in our known values, we have

<span>Δx=<span>(0)</span><span>(3.0s)</span>+<span>12</span><span>(4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span>)</span><span><span>(3.0s)</span>2</span>=<span>21<span>m</span></span></span>

A cyclist is travelling eastwards at a velocity
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

0.02 m/s^2

Explanation:

change in velocity= 4.5m/s - 2.3m/s = 2.2 m/s

acceleration= change in velocity/change in time

acceleration= 2.2/120= 0.0183

= 0.02 (to 2 significant figures)

If the work function of a material is such that red light of wavelength 700 nm just barely initiates the photoelectric effect, w
marishachu [46]

Answer:

2.13 x 10^-19 J or 0.53 eV

Explanation:

cut off wavelength, λo = 700 nm = 700 x 10^-9 m

λ = 400 nm = 400 x 10^-9 m

Use the energy equation

E = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

Where, K be the work function

\frac{h c}{\lambda} = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

K =hc\left ( \frac{1}{\lambda } -\frac{1}{\lambda _{0}}\right )

K =6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}\left ( \frac{1}{4\times 10^{-7} } -\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-7}}\right )

K = 2.13 x 10^-19 J

K = 0.53 eV
