Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
The missile's change in speed is (5,000 - 0) = 5,000 m/s
Average acceleration = (5,000 m/s) / (10 sec)
= 500 m/s² (about 51 Gs)
Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?
No. Relax. Everything is OK.
500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer. So my answer can also be written as 0.5 km/s² . That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.
The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec² (d)</em> .
Could it be "Scientific research"?
Answer:
I disagree
Explanation:
I think the students claim is wrong because according to Newton's First Law an object that is in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Which makes the students claim wrong because a object doesn't require another force to keep it moving.
The frequency increasing makes the crests pass more quickly. Frequency is a count of how many times per second an event occurs. In waves, this event is the passing of an entire cycle. Once the cycle has passed, the wave repeats. The faster the wave repeats, the higher the frequency. For this reason, frequency has units of hertz, Hz. The unit of hertz is 1/s or "per second"
