Answer:

a = 0

Explanation:

The velocity of a sound wave in a straight line is 660 mph. The wave is moving with a constant velocity. It means that the change in velocity is equal to 0.

We know that acceleration of an object is equal to the change in velocity divided by time taken. But here the change in velocity is 0. As a result the acceleration of the sound wave is 0.

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = 1474.9 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces must be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

We must understand that when forces are applied on the body, they tend to slow the body down to stop it.

So as the body continues to move to the left, it is slowing down. Therefore we must calculate this deceleration value using Newton's second law. We must perform a sum of forces on the x-axis equal to the product of mass by acceleration. With leftward movement as negative and rightward forces as positive.

ΣF = m*a

$10 +12*sin(60)= - 6*a\\a = - 3.39[m/s^{2}]$

Now using the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the distance of the block, before stopping completely. The initial speed must be 100 [m/s].

$v_{f}^{2} =v_{o}^{2}-2*a*x$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (the block stops)

Vo = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = - 3.39 [m/s²]

x = displacement [m]

$0 = 100^{2}-2*3.39*x\\x=\frac{10000}{2*3.39}\\x=1474.9[m]$

A marble resting near the edge of .90 m high table is given an initial horizontal speed of 1.24 m/s. What will be it’s horizonta

Maru [420]

Answer:

0.53 m

Explanation:

First of all, we have to consider the vertical motion of the ball, in order to find the time it takes for the marble to reach the ground. The initial height is $h=0.90 m$ , the initial vertical velocity is zero, while the acceleration is $g=-9.81 m/s^2$ , so the vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t)=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

By demanding y(t)=0, we find the time t at which the ball reaches the ground:

$0=h-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(0.9 m)}{9.81 m/s^2}}=0.43 s$

Now we can find the horizontal range of the marble: we know the initial horizontal speed (v=1.24 m/s), we know the total time of the motion (t=0.43 s), and since the horizontal speed is constant, the total distance traveled on the horizontal direction is

$x=vt=(1.24 m/s)(0.43 s)=0.53 m$

2. A can filled with sand has a mass of 0.65kg is swung overhead in a horizontal circle of radius 0.70m at a constant rate of 2.

Aliun [14]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

≈ 5 Kgm²/sec

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Angular momentum is given by the formula

L = Iω, where I is the moment of inertia and ω is the angular speed.

I = mr², where m is the mass and r is the radius

= 0.65 × 0.7²

= 0.3185

Angular speed, ω = v/r

= (2 × 3.142 × r × 2.5) r

= 15.71

Therefore;

Angular momentum = Iω

= 0.3185 × 15.71

= 5.003635

<u>≈ 5 Kgm²/sec</u>
