Answer:

26m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 18m/s

Time = 2s

Acceleration = 4m/s²

Unknown:

Final velocity

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

Acceleration = $\frac{v - u }{t}$

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

4 = $\frac{v - 18}{2}$

v - 18 = 8

v = 8 + 18 = 26m/s

A guitar string is supposed to have a fundamental frequency 256 Hz. It currently has a fundamental frequency 248 Hz when the str

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The tension to bring the guitar string into tune is 372.95 Hz.

Explanation:

Given;

current frequency, f₁ = 248 Hz

current tension, T₁ = 350 N

fundamental frequency, f₂ = 256

The tension on the string to bring the guitar string into tune is calculated as;

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\f\lambda = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\f^2\lambda^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\f^2 = \frac{T}{\mu \lambda^2}\\\\let \ {\mu \lambda^2} = k\\\\f^2 =\frac{T}{k} \\\\k = \frac{T}{f^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{f_1^2} = \frac{T_2}{f_2^2}\\\\T_2 = \frac{T_1 f_2^2}{f_1^2} \\\\T_2 = \frac{350 \times 256^2}{248^2} \\\\T_2 = 372.95 \ Hz$

Therefore, the tension to bring the guitar string into tune is 372.95 Hz.

A 98.0 N grocery cart is pushed 12.0 m along an aisle by a shopper who exerts a constant horizontal force of 40.0 N. If all fric

Digiron [165]

Answer:

9.8 m/s

Explanation:

The work done by the force pushing the cart is equal to the kinetic energy gained by the cart:

$W=K_f -K_i$

where

W is the work done

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the cart

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy of the cart, which is zero because the cart starts from rest, so we can write:

$W=K_f$

But the work is equal to the product between the pushing force F and the displacement, so

$W=Fd=(40.0 N)(12.0 m)=480 J$

So, the final kinetic energy of the cart is 480 J. The formula for the kinetic energy is

$K_f=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$ (1)

where m is the mass of the cart and v its final speed.

We can find the mass because we know the weight of the cart, 98.0 N:

$m=\frac{F_g}{g}=\frac{98.0 N}{9.8 m/s^2}=10 kg$

Therefore, we can now re-arrange eq.(1) to find the final speed of the cart:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_f}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(480 J)}{10 kg}}=9.8 m/s$

Which of the following best describes what we mean by the universe?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

D. The sum total of all matter and energy

Explanation:

The universe is defined as a closed system that contains all forms of energy and matter. Therefore, includes the so-called dark matter and dark energy, which make up most of the universe, since ordinary matter would only represent just over 5% of the total.
