An independent variable is a variable that does not depend on anything. It is manipulated to determine the value of a dependent variable<span>. The dependent variable is what is being measured in an experiment or evaluated in a mathematical equation and the independent variables are the inputs to that measurement. Example: Time would always be an independent variable because nothing affects time, however, time can affect everything. </span>

Assume that the stopping distance of a van varies directly with the square of the speed. A van traveling 40 miles per hour can s

Daniel [21]

Answer:

d = 100.8 ft

Explanation:

As we know that initial speed of the van is 40 miles then the stopping distance is given as 70 feet

here we know that

$v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad$

so here we have

$0^2 - 40^2 = 2 a (70 feet)$

now again if the speed is increased to 48 mph then let say the stopping distance is "d"

so we will have

$0^2 - 48^2 = 2 a (d)$

now divide the above two equations

$\frac{40^2}{48^2} = \frac{70 feet}{d}$

$d = 100.8 ft$

Given that on Earth, gravity causes an acceleration of 9.8 m/s2, what is an acceleration of 7 g?

zzz [600]

Answer:

68.6 m/s^2

Explanation:

1 g = 9.8 m/s^2

7 g × 9.8m/s^2 = 68.6

An airplane traveling at one third the speed of sound (i.e., 114 m/s) emits a sound of frequency 3.72 kHz. At what frequency doe

nlexa [21]

Answer:

f'=5.58kHz

Explanation:

This is an example of the Doppler effect, the formula is:

$f'=\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v+v_s)}f$

Where f is the actual frequency, $f'$ is the observed frequency, $v$ is the velocity of the sound waves, $v_o$ the velocity of the observer (which is negative if the observer is moving away from the source) and $v_s$ the velocity of the source (which is negative if is moving towards the observer). For this problem:

$f=3.72kHz\\v=342m/s\\v_o=0m/s\\v_s=-114m/s$

$f'=\frac{(342+0)}{(342-114)}3.72\times10^3\\f'=\frac{342}{228}3.72\times10^3\\f'=(1.5)3.72\times10^3\\f'=5580Hz=5.58kHz$

If an atom has an atomic number of 2, it will be stable with 2 electrons in its valence shell. Group of answer choices True Fals

torisob [31]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Atomic number is defined as the number of protons or the number of electrons that are present in an electrically neutral atom.

Atomic number = Number of protons = number of electrons = 2

Electronic configuration represents the total number of electrons that a neutral element contains. We add all the superscripts to know the number of electrons in an atom.

The electronic configuration will be $1s^2$

As its duplet is already complete and it has noble gas configuration , it is stable with 2 valence electrons.
