Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time
Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>
Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration
Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N
<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>
Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²
Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m
<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>
Answer:
Their number should increase
Explanation:
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that causes the ejection of electrons from that metal as light shined onto a metal surface. Only certain frequencies of light can cause the ejection of electrons. However, if the frequency of the incident light is too low then no electrons were ejected even if the intensity of the light was very high. If the frequency of the light was higher then electrons were able to be ejected from the metal surface even if the intensity of the light was very low.
According to the accepted wave theory, light of any frequency will cause electrons to be emitted. Kinetic energy emitted by the electrons depends upon the intensity of light.
According to the accepted wave theory, number of electrons being ejected by the metal should increase
Well, that would be a plane (flat) mirror

Answer:
T = 692.42 N
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of hammer, m = 8.71 kg
Length of the chain to which an athlete whirls the hammer, r = 1.5 m
The angular sped of the hammer, 
We need to find the tension in the chain. The tension acting in the chain is balanced by the required centripetal force. It is given by the formula as follows :
So, the tension in the chain is 692.42 N.
Answer:
The spring force constant is 
.
Explanation:
We are told the mass of the ball is 
, the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is 
, the length the ball compresses the spring is 
and the acceleration of gravity is 
.
We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy 
is equal to the final mechanical energy 
:
Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:
If we manipulate the equation we have that:
