Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{38}{57} = \frac{2}{3} \\ = 0.666666...$

We have the final answer as

A coin released at rest from the top of a tower hits the ground after falling 1.5 s. What is the speed of the coin as it hits th

Inessa05 [86]

initially coin is at rest and then it drop for total time t = 1.5 s

so here the speed of the coin at which it will hit the floor is to be find

$v_f = v_i + at$

here we know that

$v_i = 0$

a = 9.8 m/s^2

t = 1.5 s

now from above equation

$v_f = 0 + 1.5 (9.8)$

$v_f = 14.7 m/s$

so it will hit the floor with speed 14.7 m/s

M (b) Calculate the speed of an electron that is accelerated through the same electric potential difference.

MaRussiya [10]

The speed of a electron that is accelerated from rest through an electric potential difference of 120 V is $6.49\times10^6m/s$

<h3>How to calculate the speed of the electron?</h3>

We know, that the energy of the system is always conserved.

Using the Law of Conservation of energy,

$\triangle K+\triangle$ U=0

Here, K is the kinetic energy and U is the potential energy.

Now, substituting the formula of U and K, we get:

$(\frac{1}{2} mv^2)+(-q\triangle V)$ =0------(1)

Here,

m is the mass of the electron

v is the speed of the electron

q is the charge on the electron

V is the potential difference

Let $v_f$ and $v_i$ represent the final and initial speed.

Here, $v_i$ =0

Solving for $v_f$ , we get:

$v_f=\sqrt{\frac{-2q\triangle V}{m} }$

$=\sqrt{\frac{2\times1.602\times10^{-19}\times 120}{9.109\times10^{-31}} }$

=6.49 $\times10^6$ m/s

The form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is? A. Electrical Energy B. Potential Energy C. Radiant Ener

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

D . Sound energy

Explanation:

When the strings of a violin vibrate it produces sound which is sound energy. Due to the vibration of the strings the air present near the strings also vibrate in resonance with the strings. This compreesion and decompression's produced in the air is nothing but the sound. So the form of energy given off by the vibrating strings of the violin is Sound energy.
