Answer:

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

The following relation applies:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where a is the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time.

The sprinter speeds up from an unknown initial speed to vf=3 m/s in t=2 seconds with an acceleration of $a=0.4~m/s^2$ .

To find the initial speed, we solve the equation for vo:

$v_o=v_f-at$

Substituting the values:

$v_o=3-0.4*2$

$v_o=3-0.8$

$v_o=2.2~m/s$

The initial speed of the sprinter was 2.2 m/s

The question ask to find and calculate the induced current in the loop as a function time and the best answer would be that the induced current in the loop is 0.08 amperes. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have clarifications and further questions

Answer:

The x-component of $F_{3}$ is 56.148 newtons.

Explanation:

From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:

$\vec F_{1} + \vec F_{2} + \vec F_{3} = \vec O$ (1)

Where:

$\vec F_{1}$ , $\vec F_{2}$ , $\vec F_{3}$ - External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.

$\vec O$ - Vector zero, measured in newtons.

If we know that $\vec F_{1} = (70.711,70.711)\,[N]$ , $\vec F_{2} = (-126.859, 46.173)\,[N]$ , $F_{3} = (F_{3,x},F_{3,y})$ and $\vec O = (0,0)\,[N]$ , then we construct the following system of linear equations:

$\Sigma F_{x} = 70.711\,N - 126.859\,N +F_{3,x} = 0\,N$ (2)

$\Sigma F_{y} = 70.711\,N + 46.173\,N+F_{3,y} = 0\,N$ (3)

The solution of this system is:

$F_{3,x} = 56.148\,N$ , $F_{3,y} = -116.884\,N$

The x-component of $F_{3}$ is 56.148 newtons.

The dark bands on the wall are from ______________ interference. and i will give brainlyest

Fittoniya [83]

Light can be seen as an electromagnetic wave.
What happens when two waves, with the same frequency, superpose is called interference.

If at a certain point two waves arrive both with a crest, we have constructive interference and the amplitudes sum up, reaching the maximum value, resulting in bright spots.

If at a certain point one of the waves arrives with a crest and the other wave arrives with a trough, we have destructive interference, and the two amplitudes cancel out, resulting in dark spots.

Therefore, the dark bands on the wall are from destructive interference.

two horses on opposite sides of a narrow stream are pulling a barge along the stream. Each horse pulls with a force of 720N. The

Setler [38]

Each horse's force forms a right angle triangle with the barge and subtends an angle of 60/2 = 30°. The resultant in the direction of the barge's motion is:
Fx = Fcos(∅)
We can multiply this by 2 to find the resultant of both horses.
Fx = 2Fcos(∅)
Fx = 2 x 720cos(30)
Fx = 1247 N
