Hi there!

Since you are just trying to find the vertical acceleration and not the horizontal acceleration, angle and velocity do not come into play in this problem. The downward pull of gravity has a vertical acceleration of 9.8 m/s/s, which would be your answer.

When you're dealing with projectile problems, you have two dimensions: an x (horizontal) dimension and a y (vertical) dimension. The only force that will be acting upon a projectile in the air is the force of gravity, which points down in the y/vertical dimension.

Gravity causes a downward vertical acceleration of $-9.8 \:m/ s^{2}$ .
The velocity and angle do not affect the vertical acceleration.

Answer:

4.86 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency produced by a humming bird, f = 70 Hz

The speed of sound, v = 340 m/s

We need to find how far does the sound travel between wing flaps. Let the distance is equal to its wavelength. So,

$v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{340}{70}\\\\\lambda=4.86\ m$

So, the sound travel 4.86 m between wings flaps.

Which energy transformation occurs when you light a gas burner?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Chemical energy to thermal(heat) energy

Explanation:

A gas burner contains chemical hydrocarbon such as methane, this methane is highly flammable.

The gas burner which contains methane when lighted up converts the chemical energy in the chemical to heat energy through the fire it produces. The fire then helps in heating up the surface it is applied to.

A 10 kg ball is falling on the planet Mars. Mars has an acceleration due to gravity of about 4 m/s/s. What is the force of gravi

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The force of gravity = 40 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a ball, m = 10 kg

The acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Mars, a = 4 m/s²

We need to find the force of gravity of the ball on Mars. The force of gravity on an object is given by :

F = mg

Substitute all the values,

F = 10 kg × 4 m/s²

F = 40 N

Hence, the correct option is (B).

A lightbulb has a voltage of 120 V and uses a current of .75 amps. What is the electric power used by the lightbulb? Show work

BartSMP [9]

G: V=120v and I=.75amps
U: R=?
S: To fins the resistance of the lightbulb you’d have V divided into I so,
S: 120/.75 = Therefore the resistance is 160ohm
