Answer:

-8.04 m/s2

Explanation:

To find the answer to this, you have to use the 4th kinematic equation:

v^{2} = v^{2}_{0}  + 2ax

You plug into the equation to get:

0 = 15^{2} + 2a(14)

solve for a to get

-8.04 m/s2

9. A wave on Beaver Dam Lake passes by two docks that are 40.0 m apart.
Kobotan [32]

Answers:

a) 10 m

b) time=1.6 s, frquency=0.625 Hz

c) 6.25 m/s

Explanation:

a) If there is a crest at each dock and another three crests between the two docks, and the wavelength \lambda is the distance between to crests; this means we have 4\lambda in 40 m:

40 m=4\lambda

Clearing \lambda:

\lambda=\frac{40 m}{4}

\lambda=10 m

b) This part can be solved by a Rule of Three:

If 10 waves ---- 16 s

1 wave ----- T

Then:

T=\frac{(1 wave)(16 s)}{10 waves}

T=1.6 s This is the period of the wave

On the other hand, the frequency f of the wave has an inverse relation with its period T:

f=\frac{1}{T}

f=\frac{1}{1.6 s}

f=0.625 Hz This is the frequency of the wave

c) The speed v of a wave is given by the following equation:

v=\frac{\lambda}{T}

v=\frac{10 m}{1.6 s}

Finally:

v=6.25 m/s

Why is friction useful between your feet and the ground?
mixer [17]

Answer:

It allows you to walk faster.

Explanation:  

It is the same force that allows you to accelerate forward when you run. Your planted foot can grip the ground and push backward, which causes the ground to push forward on your foot. We call this grip type of friction, where the surfaces are prevented from slipping across each other, a static frictional force.

A mine car (mass=390 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 250-kg chunk of coal has a
Nady [450]

Answer:

v=0.60 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m ₁= 390 kg ,u ₁= 0.5 m/s

m₂ = 250 kg ,u₂ = 0.76 m/s

As we know that if there is no any external force on the system the total linear momentum of the system will be conserve.

Pi = Pf

m ₁u ₁+m₂u₂ = (m₂ + m ₁ ) v

Now putting the values in the above equation

390 x 0.5 + 250 x 0.76 = (390 + 250 ) v

v=\dfrac{390\times 0.5+250\times 0.76}{390+250}\ m/s

v=0.60 m/s

Therefore the velocity of the system will be 0.6 m/s.
