[Assume g = 10m/s?] If a girl is running along a straight road with a uniform velocity 1.5 m/s, find her acceleration. (Ans: 0)

a.​
Physics
1 answer:
DerKrebs [107]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Her acceleration is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

We note that the motion of the girl is on a straight road, therefore;

The vertical acceleration (e.g. due to gravity, <em>g)</em> on the horizontal motion = 0

The horizontal acceleration, a = (Change in velocity, Δv)/(Change in time, Δt)

For uniform velocity, the change in velocity, Δv = 0

Therefore, fore any change in time, Δt, we have;

a = Δv/Δt

Her acceleration, a = 0/Δt = 0

Her acceleration, a = 0 m/s²

A skateboarder shoots off a ramp with a velocity of 7.1 m/s, directed at an angle of 61° above the horizontal. The end of the ra
dsp73

Answer:

Highest point reached  = 3.37 m

Explanation:

Initial velocity, = 7.1 m/s

Initial vertical velocity = 7.1 sin 61 = 6.21 m/s

Consider the vertical motion of skateboarder,

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

          Initial velocity, u = 6.21 m/s

          Acceleration, a = -9.81 m/s²

          Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

         Substituting

                       v² = u² + 2as

                       0² = 6.21² + 2 x -9.81 x s

                       s = 1.97 m

So from ramp the position it goes up by 1.97 m

       Highest point reached = 1.97 + 1.4 = 3.37 m

Answer: Mechanical waves

Explanation:

Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

A calorimeter is used to determine the specific heat capacity of a test metal. If the specific heat capacity of water is known,
denis23 [38]

Answer:

initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal, mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Explanation:

Heat lost by the metal, Q = mc(t_{2} - t_{1})

Heat gained by the water in the calorimeter, Q_{w} = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

For energy to be conserved in the system, the heat lost by the metal will equal the heat gain by the water in the calorimeter.

        mc(t_{2} - t_{1}) = m_{w}c_{w}(t_{2w} - t_{1w})

Where,

m is the mass of the metal

c is specific heat capacity of the metal

t₂ is the final temperature of the metal

t₁ is the initial temperature of the metal

m_{w} is the mass of the water

c_{w} is specific heat capacity of water

t_{2w} is the final temperature of water

t_{1w} is the initial temperature of water

From the question given, specific heat capacity of the water is known, the quantities to be measured are;

Initial and final temperatures of both the water and metal,

Mass of the metal, and mass of the water

Indiana Jones is in a temple searching for artifacts. He finds a gold sphere with a radius of 2 cm sitting on a pressure sensiti
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Volume of Sand = 0.4 m³

Radius of Sand Sphere = 0.46 m

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of gold sphere:

Vg = (4/3)πr³

where,

Vg = Volume of gold sphere = ?

r = radius of gold sphere = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Therefore,

Vg = (4/3)π(0.2 m)³

Vg = 0.0335 m³

Now, we find mass of the gold:

ρg = mg/Vg

where,

ρg = density of gold = 19300 kg/m³

mg = mass of gold = ?

Vg = Volume of gold sphere = 0.0335 m³

Therefore,

mg = (19300 kg/m³)(0.0335 m³)

mg = 646.75 kg

Now, the volume of sand required for equivalent mass of gold, will be given by:

ρs = mg/Vs

where,

ρs = density of sand = 1602 kg/m³

mg = mass of gold = 646.75 kg

Vs = Volume of sand = ?

Therefore,

1602 kg/m³ = 646.75 kg/Vs

Vs = (646.75 kg)/(1602 kg/m³)

<u>Vs = 0.4 m³</u>

Now, for the radius of sand sphere to give a volume of 0.4 m³, can be determined from the formula:

Vs = (4/3)πr³

0.4 m³ = (4/3)πr³

r³ = 3(0.4 m³)/4π

r³ = 0.095 m³

r = ∛(0.095 m³)

<u>r = 0.46 m</u>
