Answer:

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Final velocity, v = 12m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

Acceleration, a = 1.5m/s²

To find the initial velocity, we would use the first equation of motion.

V = U + at

Where;

V is the final velocity.

U is the initial velocity.

a is the acceleration.

t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

12 = U + 1.5*5

12 = U + 7.5

U = 12 - 7.5

Initial velocity, U = 4.5m/s

In a physics lab, you measure the vibrational-rotational spectrum of hcl. the estimated separation between absorption peaks is:_
BlackZzzverrR [31]

The appropriate value in blank given is Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz.

We have vibrational - rotational spectrum Hydrochloric Acid.

We have to investigate the estimated separation between absorption peaks and fill the blank.

<h3>What is vibrational - rotational spectrum ?</h3>

Rotational–vibrational spectroscopy is a branch of molecular spectroscopy. It deals with the infrared and Raman spectra of molecules in the gaseous phase.

According to the question -

The estimated separation between absorption peaks in the vibrational-rotational spectrum of HCl is denoted by Δf and is equal to -

Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz

Hence, the appropriate value in blank given is Δf = 5.5 x 10^{11} Hertz.

A rope is shaken and produces 2 waves each second. Calculate the time period of the rope waves.
motikmotik

Answer:

0.5 s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

Period of a wave is simply defined as the time taken to make one complete oscillation. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

T = t / n

Whereb

T => is the period

t => is the space time

n => is the number of circle or oscillation.

With the above formula, we can obtain the period of the wave as follow:

Number of circle (n) = 2

Time (t) = 1 s

Period =?

T = t / n

T = 1 / 2

T = 0.5 s

Thus, the period of the wave is 0.5 s

Two children are riding on a merry-go-round that is rotating with a constant angular speed. Abbie is one meter from the center o
Ainat [17]

Answer:

  • <em>Abbie’s acceleration is (1/2) Zak’s acceleration.</em>

Explanation

1. <u>Data</u>:

a) ω = constant

b) Abbie: r₁ = 1 m

c) Zak: r₂ = 2 m

d) Ac₁ = ? Ac₂

2. <u>Formulae</u>

  • Ac = ω² r

3. <u>Solution</u>:

a) Abbie:

  • Ac₁ = ω² r₁  =  ω² (1m)

b) Zack:

  • Ac₂ = ω² r₂  = ω² (2m)

c) Divide Ac₁ / Ac₂

  • Ac₁ / Ac₂ =  ω² (1m) / [ω² (2m) ] = 1/2

⇒      Ac₁ = (1/2) Ac₂ = Ac₂ / 2 = 0.5 Ac₂
