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 ball is thrown up with a speed of 15m/s. How high will it go before it begins to fall? ( g = 10m/s2 )
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Height is 11.25m

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 15m/s

Acceleration due to gravity, g = 10m/s²

To find the height, we would use the third equation of motion;

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

Where;

  • V represents the final velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • U represents the initial velocity measured in meter per seconds.
  • a represents acceleration measured in meters per seconds square.
  • S represents the displacement (height) measured in meters.

V^{2} = U^{2} + 2aS

<em>Making S the subject, we have;</em>

S = \frac {V^{2} - U^{2}}{2a}

But a = g = 10m/s²

<em>Substituting into the equation, we have;</em>

S = \frac {15^{2} - 0^{2}}{2*10}

S = \frac {225 - 0}{20}

S = \frac {225}{20}

S = 11.25m

<em>Therefore, the ball will reach a height of 11.25m before it begins to fall. </em>

A toy car accelerates at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 4 m/s in a time of 0.55 s. What was the magnitude of the accele
Korvikt [17]
  • initial velocity=u=0m/s
  • Final velocity=v=4m/s
  • Time=t=0.5s

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4-0}{0.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{4}{0.5}

\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=8m/s^2
