Answer:

2 m/s²

Explanation:

If changes speed by 2 meters per second each second means:

2 m/s²

Because it changes constantly it veloctity.

Remember the aceleration changes the velocity.

A 60.0 kg soccer player kicks a 0.4000 kg stationary soccer ball with 6.25 N of force. How fast does the soccer ball accelerate,

frozen [14]

F = ma
6.25 N = 0.4 kg · a
a = (6.25/0.4) m/s² since N=kg·m/s²
a = 15.625 m/s²

The answer is c) 15.6 m/s²
(Note that the mass of the soccer player is irrelevant.)

The wavelength of red helium-neon laser light in air is 632.8 nm.(a) What is its frequency?(b) What is its wavelength in glass t

inn [45]

(a) $4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

The frequency of a wave is given by:

$f=\frac{v}{\lambda}$

where

v is the wave's speed

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the red laser light in this problem, we have

$v=c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ (speed of light)

$\lambda=632.8 nm=632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$

Substituting,

$f=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m}=4.74 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

(b) 427.6 nm

The wavelength of the wave in the glass is given by

$\lambda=\frac{\lambda_0}{n}$

where

$\lambda_0 = 632.8\cdot 10^{-9} m$ is the original wavelength of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$\lambda=\frac{632.8\cdot 10^{-9}m}{1.48}=427.6\cdot 10^{-9}m=427.6 nm$

(c) $2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the wave in the glass is given by

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where

$c = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the original speed of the wave in air

n = 1.48 is the refractive index of glass

Substituting into the formula,

$v=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{1.48}=2.02\cdot 10^8 m/s$

47. A car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. What

Otrada [13]

Answer: 114 km/h

Explanation:

The formula for determining average speed is expressed as

Average speed = total distance/total time

The car travels 85 km in the first half hour of a trip. The car continues to travel for 2 more hours and travels 200 km. It means that the total distance that the car travels is

85 + 200 = 285 km

The total time spent by the car is

0.5 + 2 = 2.5 hours

Therefore,

Average speed = 285/2.5 = 114 km/h
