Answer:

<h3>The answer is 8.91 m/s²</h3>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{343}{38.5} = \frac{98}{11} \\ = 8.909090...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Three students have been studying relative motion and decide to do an experiment to demonstrate their knowledge. The experiment

miskamm [114]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Constant speed of Jane=12.6 m/s

a.When Fred can throw the ball 30 m/s

We have to find the angle relative to the horizontal when he throw the ball in order for Sue to see the ball travel vertically upward.

Let $\theta$ be the angle .

Therefore,

$30 cos\theta=12.6$

$cos\theta=\frac{12.6}{30}=0.42$

$\theta=cos^{-1}(0.42)=65.165^{\circ}$

b.We have to find the height to which ball reach.

$v^2-v^2_0=2aS$

$S=\frac{v^2-v^2_0}{2a}=\frac{0-(30 sin65.165)^2}{2(-9.81)}$

$S=37.78 m$

The burning of a log releases the logs chemical_energy into other forms of energy

saul85 [17]

Answer:

When we burn wood we are releasing solar energy, in the form of heat, that has been stored in the wood as chemical energy. The process of photosynthesis converted solar energy, water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and the organic molecules that form the wood, half the weight of which is carbon.

A certain water wave has a wavelength of 25 m and a frequency of 4.0 Hz. What is its velocity?

babymother [125]

Wave speed = frequency * wavelength
Wave speed = 4 * 25
Wave speed = 100 m/s
