Answer:

a = 4/9  m/s^2  

Explanation:

We use the kinematics formula for distance (d) covered i accelerated motion:

d = vi t + (1/2) a t^2

and replace d= 2,  t = 3 and vi = 0 as per the information given:

2 = (1/2) a (3)^2

2 = (1/2) a (9)

a = 4 / 9 m/s^2

A 200.0 g block rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. It is pressed against a horizontal spring with spring constant 4500
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that :

mass of the block   m =  200.0 g  = 200 × 10⁻³ kg

the horizontal spring constant   k  =  4500.0 N/m

position of the block (distance x) = 4.00 cm  = 0.04 m

To determine the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring; we applying the  work done on the spring as it is stretched (or compressed) with the kinetic energy.

i.e \frac{1}{2} kx^2  = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

kx^2 = mv^2

4500* 0.04^2 = 200*10^{-3} *v^2

7.2 =200*10^{-3}*v^{2}

v^{2}   =\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}

v   =\sqrt{\frac{7.2}{200*10^{-3}}}

v = 6 m/s

Hence,the speed the block will be traveling when it leaves the spring is  6 m/s

Contrast balanced and unbalanced forces.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Balanced forces do not cause a change in motion. When balanced forces act on an object at rest, the object will not move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. ... Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

What physics principle is used in radar guns to find the speeds of tennis balls and baseballs at sporting events?
Luda [366]
<h2>Answer: Doppler effect </h2>

Explanation:

A radar gun  (also known as a Doppler radar) uses the Doppler effect when measuring "return echoes" after having sent a microwave signal (a type of electromagnetic radiation).  

In this context the Doppler effect consists of the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the observer move relative to each other.  

In the case of radars, a microwave signal is sent to a target (the tennis or baseball in this case) and then is reflected after "hitting" the target, so that the radar system measures this difference between the sent signal and the reflected signal.

An iron has a power of 1,000w. How much energy will it electrically transfer each second?.
Mariana [72]

Answer:

P= 1000W, t = 1s ⇒ E = Pt = 1000 ∗ 1 = 1000J

Explanation: Power is the rate of doing work or of transferring heat per unit of time, or, in other words, power is the rate of transferred energy per unit of time
