Answer: 113.75

Explanation:

You know

acceleration = a = 3.5 m/s²

time = t = 5 seconds

initial velocity = u = 14 m/s

Unknown is distance = s = ?

Use equation: s = ut + $\frac{1}{2}$ at²

Substitute all the known values inside the equation:

s = (14*5) + 0.5 * 3.5 * 5²

s = 70 + 43.75 = 113.75 m

The car travels 113.75 metres.

A wave with a wavelength of 0.1 m moves with a speed of 0.5 m/s. What is the frequency of the wave?

kondaur [170]

Frequency= speed/ wavelength
=0.5m/s divided 0.1.m
=5.0 Hz

The answer would be letter D.

Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

$g'=\frac{g}{6}$

$g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}$

<u>Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:</u>

$g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2}$ ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

$G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}$

$m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg$

$r=1.74\times 10^6\ m$

$h=384.4\times 10^6\ m$ is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

$g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}$

$g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}$ is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.

a car takes 125 ft to brake from 60 to 0 mph. Assume that the acceleration of the Prius is constant while braking. Find how long

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

2.84 seconds

Explanation:

t = ?

distance = 125

Velocity origianal = 60 m/hr = 88 ft/s

AVERAGE velocity = 88/2 = 44 ft/s

44 t = 125

t = 125/44 = 2.84 s

Two wheel gears are connected by a chain. The larger gear has a radius of 8 centimeters and the smaller gear has a radius of 3 c

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.

Explanation:

As we know that the small gear completes 24 revolutions in 20 seconds

so the angular speed of the smaller gear is given as

$\omega = 2\pi\frac{24}{20}$

$\omega = 2.4\pi rad/s$

Now we know that the tangential speed of the chain is given as

$v = r \omega$

so we have

$v = (3 cm)(2.4\pi)$

$v = 7.2 \pi cm/s$

$v = 432\pi cm/min$

Since both gears are connected by same chain so both have same linear speed and hence correct answer will be

B.The linear velocity of the gears is the same. The linear velocity is 432π centimeters per minute.
