How do the four fundamental forces differ?

A body with initial velocity 8.0 m/s moves along a straight line with constant acceleration and travels

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

(a) The average velocity is 16 m/s

(b) The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(c) The final velocity is 24 m/s

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity (or the speed) of an object changes by an equal amount in every equal period of time.

Being a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, final speed is calculated as follows:

$v_f=v_o+at\qquad\qquad [1]$

The distance traveled by the object is given by:

$\displaystyle x=v_o.t+\frac{a.t^2}{2}\qquad\qquad [2]$

(a) The average velocity is defined as the total distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance.

We know the distance is x=640 m and the time taken t= 40 s, thus:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{t}=\frac{640}{40}=16$

The average velocity is 16 m/s

Using the equation [1] we can solve for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

(c) From [2] we can solve for a:

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{x-v_ot}{t^2}$

Since vo=8 m/s, x=640 m, t=40 s:

$\displaystyle a= 2\frac{640-8\cdot 40}{40^2}=0.4$

The acceleration is 0.4 m/s^2

(b) The final velocity is calculated by [1]:

$v_f=8+0.4\cdot 40$

$v_f=8+16=24$

The final velocity is 24 m/s

A small particle starts from rest from the origin of an xy-coordinate system and travels in the xy-plane. Its acceleration in th

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The x-coordinate of the particle is 24 m.

Explanation:

In order to obtain the x-coordinate of the particle, you have to apply the equations for Two Dimension Motion

Xf=Xo+Voxt+0.5axt²(I)

Yf=Yo+Voyt+0.5ayt² (II)

Where Xo, Yo are the initial positions, Xf and Yf are the final positions, Vox and Voy are the initial velocities, ax and ay are the accerelations in x and y directions, t is the time.

The particle starts from rest from the origin, therefore:

Vox=Voy=0

Xo=Yo=0

Replacing Yf=12, Yo=0 and Voy=0 in (I) and solving for t:

12=0+(0)t+ 0.5(1.0)t²

12=0.5t²

Dividing by 0.5 and extracting thr squareroot both sides:

t=√12/0.5

t=√24 = 2√6

Replacing t=2√6, ax=2.0,Xo=0 and Vox=0 in (I) to obain the x-coordinate:

Xf=0+0t+0.5(2.0)(2√6)²

Xf= 24 m

Two identical waves are traveling toward each other in the same medium. One has a positive amplitude, meaning that its peaks onl

Olin [163]

The correct answer is Destructive Interference.

Consider the image attached below. Two waves are travelling towards each other. Blue wave always has a positive peak and the red wave always has a negative peak.

Now imagine these waves are moving through a rope. If blue waves will try to move the rope in positive direction, the red wave will pull it down, and thus the two waves will cancel the effect of each other. Thus resulting in a destructive interference.
