Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

Solving the equation [for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}$

a = 7.6\ mph/s

The answer is C. that liquids and gases both take the shape of their container.

Think of it this way, if you take an ice cube and put it in your glass, it will stay in its shape and stay that way until it melts. But if you put liquid or a gas into a glass, it will take the shape of the glass that it is put into.

In lab, your instructor generates a standing wave using a thin string of length L = 1.65 m fixed at both ends. You are told that

erik [133]

Answer:

On the standing waves on a string, the first antinode is one-fourth of a wavelength away from the end. This means

$\frac{\lambda}{4} = 0.275~m\\\lambda = 1.1~m$

This means that the relation between the wavelength and the length of the string is

$3\lambda/2 = L$

By definition, this standing wave is at the third harmonic, n = 3.

Furthermore, the standing wave equation is as follows:

$y(x,t) = (A\sin(kx))\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{\omega}{v}x)\sin(\omega t) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi f}{v}x)\sin(2\pi ft) = A\sin(\frac{2\pi}{\lambda}x)\sin(\frac{2\pi v}{\lambda}t) = (2.45\times 10^{-3})\sin(5.7x)\sin(59.94t)$
