Option (a) is correct.
Falling objects accelerate as they approach the ground.This is because of the force of gravity acting on the falling objects. so the velocity of these objects increases continuously as they approach the ground. the acceleration acting on the falling objects is a constant ( close to the surface of earth) and is called as acceleration due to gravity denoted by g. value of g=9.8 m/s².
The velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328 m/s.
Explanation:
From the given data the constant kinetic energy is 3.6 J. The mass of combination is 0.65 kg. To find the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle the formula is
KE = 0.5 x mv2.
To find velocity,
V2=ke/(0.5×m)
V=
v= 3.6/(0.5×0.65)
=
v= 3.328 m/s
Hence, the velocity of the combination of Jackie and the bicycle is 3.328m/s.
Answer: 2.82m/s
Explanation:
Wave speed(v) is the product of the frequency (f) of a wave and its wavelength (¶)
V = f¶
Since wavelength is the distance between two successive crests or trough, the wavelength given is 1.40m i.e ¶ = 1.40m
If the total crest is 25, this means that 25 oscillations occurs in 12.4s.
Since the number of oscillation made in one second is the frequency, frequency = 25/12.4 = 2.01cycle/seconds
Speed of the wave v = 2.01×1.4
V =
Wave speed is 2.82m/s
