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 standing wave on a string that is fixed at both ends has frequency 80.0 Hz. The distance between adjacent antinodes of the sta
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given frequency in the string fixed at both ends is 80 Hz

Distance between adjacent antipodes is 20 cm

We know that distance between two adjacent anti nodes is equal to half of the wavelength

So \frac{\lambda }{2}=20cm

\lambda =40cm

We have to find the speed of the wave in the string

Speed is equal to v=\lambda f=0.04\times 80=3.2m/sec

So speed of the wave in the string will be 3.2 m/sec

find the resultant in the x-direction , Rx and y-direction , Ry for F1 = 2.5n in the positive x-direction f2 = 1n in the negativ
Advocard [28]

The resultant in the x-direction:

Rx = F1 + F2 = 2.5 N - 1 N =  1.5 N .


The resultant in the y-direction:

Ry = F3 + F4 = 2 N - 3 N =  -1 N.

Two balls of mass m1 and m2, with velocities v1 and v2 collide head on. Is there any way for both balls to have zero velocity af
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

As the final Kinetic energy is zero or less than initial kinetic energy, the collision must be inelastic.  

In Inelastic collision both the bodies must stick together as final velocity is zero for both the bodies.

To conserve the momentum, momentum associated before the collision of first must be equal and opposite to the momentum associated with the second ball.

i.e.

m_1v_1=m_2v_2

Feng and Isaac are riding on a merry-ground. Feng rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as far from
kogti [31]

Answer: The question is incomplete or missing details. here is the remaining part of the question ;

1. impossible to determine

2. half of Isaac’s

3. the same as Isaac’s

4. twice Isaac’s

The angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac. Hence the answer is option 3

Explanation:

Since we have been told that both feng and isaac are riding on a merry go round i.e in a circular motion, irrespective of how fast one ride above the other, the angular speed will be constant since they are riding on a merry go round, as such both feng and isaac will maintain equal angular speed, hence the angular speed of feng will be the same as that of Isaac.
