Answer:

The acceleration of Chevy Corvette is $8.94\ m/s^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of Chevy Corvette Z06, u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Final speed of Chevy Corvette Z06, v = 60 mph

1 mph = 0.44704 m/s

60 mph = 26.82 m/s

Time, t = 3 seconds

We need to find the acceleration of Chevy Corvette. The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration of an object. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{v}{t}$

$a=\dfrac{26.82\ m/s}{3\ s}$

$a=8.94\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of Chevy Corvette is $8.94\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

Okay so don't quote me on this but I believe the answer is A) I'm saying this because B and C make no sense. and you can't change the mass of something without changing it totally.

Fine grains of beach sand are assumed to be spheres of radius 49.8 µm. these grains are made of silicon dioxide which has a dens

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $1.3\times10^{-9}kg$

Volume of each grain of sand:

$V=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

radius of the spherical grain is given, $r=49.8\mu m=49.8\times10^{-6} m$

$\Rightarrow V=\frac{4}{3}\times3.14\times(49.8\times10^{-6})^3m^3=5.17\times10^{-13}m^3$

The grains are made up of silicon dioxide.

The density is equal to $D=2600 kg/m^3$

Then, the mass of each grain is given by:

$Mass=Density (D)\times Volume(V)\\ \Rightarrow M=2600 kg/m^3\times5.17\times10^{-13}m^3 =1.3\times10^{-9}kg$

For closed pipe the fundamental frequency will be given as

$f = \frac{v}{4L}$

$153 = \frac{340}{4L}$

$L = 0.56 m$

$L = 55 cm$

#2

For open pipe the wavelength for Nth harmonic will be given as

$n \times \frac{\lambda}{2} = L$

$\lambda = \frac{2L}{n}$

#3

for a closed pipe the frequency is given as

$f = \frac{nv}{4L}$

here for third harmonic n = 3

$f = \frac{3v}{4L}$

now plug in all values

$235 = \frac{3\times 340}{4L}$

$L = 1.09 m$

$L = 109 cm$

#10

since in the given figure there are three complete loops

so in this case the <em>number of harmonics are THREE</em>

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

F = 10.8N

Explanation:

Given the mass m = 0.4kg, v1 = 25m/s, v2 = 12m/s and t =0.5s

From Newtown's second law of motion the average force can be found. This law states that the product of the force experienced by a body and the time t of the force acting on the body is equal to the change in momentum of the body. Mathematically it can be stated as follows

F×t = m(v2 – v1)

F = m(v2 – v1)/t = 0.4(25 – 12)/0.5 = 10.8N
