Answer:

a = 120 m/s²

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law in the x direction:

∑Fₓ = m*a Formula (1)

Known data

Where:

∑Fₓ: Algebraic sum of forces in the x direction

F: Force in Newtons (N)

m: mass (kg)

a: acceleration of the block (m/s²)

F = 1200N

m = 10 kg

Problem development

We replace the known data in formula (1)

1200 = 10*a

a = 1200/10

a = 120 m/s²

What Is a Sound Wave? Learning Goal: To understand the nature of a sound wave, including its properties: frequency wavelength, l
NISA [10]

Answer:

A)  Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

B) air is the medium in which the wave is transported,

Explanation:

Part A.

A sound wave is a longitudinal oscillation of the molecules that forms in a material medium, they can be solid, liquid or gases, therefore the wave propagates in the same direction as the oscillation of the particles.

The most correct answer is:

* Propagation of pressure fluctuations in a medium

Part b

air is the medium in which the wave is transported, otherwise it cannot propagate

Ben hit a 0.25kg nail into a wood with a 5.2kg hammer. If the hammer moves witht the speed of 52 m/s and two fifth of its kineti
Art [367]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of nails is 0.25kg

Mass of hammer 5.2kg

Speed of hammer is =52m/s

Then, Ben kinetic energy is given as

K.E= ½mv²

K.E= ½×5.2×52²

K.E= 7030.4J

Given that, two-fifth of kinetic energy is converted to internal energy

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × K.E

Internal energy (I.E) = 2/5 × 7030.4

I.E=2812.16J.

Energy increase is total Kinetic energy - the internal energy

∆Et= K.E-I.E

∆Et= 7030.4 - 2812.16

∆Et= 4218.24J

A kayaker needs to paddle north across a 100-m-wide harbor. The tide is going out, creating a tidal current that flows to the ea
Savatey [412]

Answer:

41.81^{\circ}

Explanation:

The tidal current flows to the east at 2.0 m/s and the speed of the kayaker is 3.0 m/s.

Let Vector \overrightarrow{OA} is the tidal current velocity as shown in the diagram.

In order to travel straight across the harbor, the vector addition of both the velocities (i.e the resultant velocity, \vec {R} must be in the north direction.

Let \overrightarrow{AB} is the speed of the kayaker having angle \theta measured north of east as shown in the figure.

For the resultant velocity in the north direction, the tail of the vector \overrightarrow {OA} and head of the vector \overrightarrow{AB} must lie on the north-south line.

Now, for this condition, from the triangle OAB

|\overrightarrow{AB}|\sin \theta=|\overrightarrow{OA}|

\Rightarrow \sin\theta=\frac{|\overrightarrow{OA}|}{|\overrightarrow{AB}|}=\frac 2 3

\Rightarrow \theta=\sin^{-1}\frac23

\Rightarrow \theta=41.81^{\circ}

Hence, the kayaker must paddle in the direction of 41.81^{\circ}  in the north of east direction.
