Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

v denotes final velocity
a denotes acceleration
u denotes initial velocity
t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)

Fossil fuels are formed by organic remains that have been buried under rock. "Organic remains" can include animals and plants (think of oil and dinosaurs).

A 90.0-m-long brass rod is struck at one end. A person at the other end hears two sounds as a result of two longitudinal waves,

Zanzabum

Answer:

0.174413400763 s

Explanation:

L = Length of rod = 90 m

Speed of sound in air = 344 m/s

$\rho$ = Density of brass = 8600 kg/m³

Y = Young's modulus = $9\times 10^9\ Pa$

Velocity of sound in a material is given by

$v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{Y}{\rho}}\\\Rightarrow v_b=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9}{8600}}\\\Rightarrow v_b=1022.99150921\ m/s$

Time taken in brass

$t=\dfrac{L}{v_b}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{90}{1022.99150921}\\\Rightarrow t=0.0879772697913\ s$

In air

$t=\dfrac{L}{v}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{90}{343}\\\Rightarrow t=0.262390670554\ s$

The time interval is $0.262390670554-0.0879772697913=0.174413400763\ s$
