A rocket sled accelerates from 10 m/s to 40 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the average acceleration of the sled?

Physics
1 answer:
Andreas93 [3]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

15m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 10m/s

Final velocity  = 40m/s

Time taken  = 2s

Unknown:

Average acceleration  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time;

 Acceleration  = \frac{Final velocity   -  Initial velocity }{time}  

  Acceleration = \frac{40 - 10}{2}    = 15m/s²

A ray of light in water (index n1) is traveling upward toward the air and is incident at the water-air boundary at the critical
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{n_{2}} \right )

Option (B) is true

Explanation:

refractive index of water = n1

refractive index of air = na = 1

refractive index of oil = n2

When the ray goes from water to air

Use Snell's law

Let the angle of incidence is i

n1 Sin i = na x Sin r

For total internal reflection, r = 90°

n1 x Sin i = 1 x Sin 90

Sin i =  1 / n1    .... (1)

For water oil interface

angle of incidence is i and let the angle of refraction is r.

n1 x Sin i = n2 x Sin r

n1 x / 1 n1 = n2 Sin r   (from equation (1)

Sinr = 1/n2

r = Sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{1}{n_{2}} \right )

PLZ HELP ME GUYS!!!! Using appropriate terminology, contrast transverse and longitudinal waves. Hint: How are they different? Yo
kobusy [5.1K]
<h3>Longitudinal Waves:</h3>
  1. Longitudinal waves are waves in which particles moves in the direction parallel to the direction of wave.
  2. Longitudinal wave are one directional waves.
  3. Sound waves and tension force applied on spring are examples of longitudinal waves.
<h3>Transverse Waves:</h3>
  1. Transverse waves in which particles move perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation.
  2. Transverse wave are two directional waves.
  3. Ripples formed on water and all electromagnetic waves are examples of transverse waves.

What is the new pressure of 150 ml of a gas that is compressed to 50 ml when the original pressure was 3.0 atm and the temperatu
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: 9.0 atm

Explanation:

To calculate the new pressure, we use the equation given by Boyle's law. This law states that pressure is directly proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature.

The equation given by this law is:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

where,

P_1\text{ and }V_1 are initial pressure and volume.

P_2\text{ and }V_2 are final pressure and volume.

We are given:

P_1=3.0atm\\V_1=150mL\\P_2=?mmHg\\V_2=50mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

3.0\times 150mL=P_2\times 50mL\\\\P_2=9.0atm

Thus new pressure of 150 ml of a gas that is compressed to 50 ml is 9.0 atm
