Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (speed at the end) minus (speed at the beginning.

The cart's acceleration is

                               (0 - 2 m/s) / (0.3 sec)

                           = ( -2 / 0.3 ) (m/s²)  =  -(6 and 2/3) m/s² .

Newton's second law of motion says

                             Force = (mass) x (acceleration) .

For this cart:      Force = (1.5 kg) x ( - 6-2/3 m/s²)

                                       = ( - 1.5 x 20/3 ) (kg-m/s²)

<span>                                       =      </span>- 10 newtons .

<span>The force is negative because it acts opposite to the direction </span>
<span>in which the cart is moving, it causes a negative acceleration, </span>
<span>and it eventually stops the cart.</span>

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

A baseball hits a car, breaking its window and triggering its alarm which sounds at a frequency of 1210 Hz. What frequency (in H
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency of sound from alarm  f_{0} = 1210\ Hz

Speed = -8.25 m/s

Negative sign show the boy riding away from the car

Speed of sound = 343

We need to calculate the heard frequency

Using formula of frequency

f = f_{0}(\dfrac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}})

Where, f_{0} = frequency of source

v_{0} = speed of observer

v_{s} = speed of source

v = speed of sound

Put the value into the formula

f=1210\times\dfrac{343+(-8.25)}{343-0}

here, source is at rest

f=1180.8\ Hz

f=1181\ Hz

Hence, The frequency of sound heard by the boy is 1181 Hz.
