A. -0.85 meters/second2
B. 1.16 meters/second2
C. -1.16 meters/second2
D. -0.9 meters/second2

Answer: C. -1.16 meters/second2

Explanation:

A= v/t (velocity/time)

in this case: v=7 and t=6

So, A= 7/6

A=1.16

The graph is decreasing so accelleration would be negative

A= <u>-1.16 meters/second2</u>

<u>Option C!</u> ; )

A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x=1.75m

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta  =37\\

<em><u>To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first </u></em>

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

At the end of the motion y=0m

0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

Solving for t

t=-0.36 s or t=0.73s

Since the <u>time</u> can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m

Why wil an ice cube melt if it is compressed even if it remains at the same temp
Gnoma [55]
No, it will only melt if the temperature is lowered. If you compress it, it will change the shape, but it will not change the state it is in (i.e. solid).

Scientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the en
densk [106]
From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

Building depression < 20 cm

Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)

An accelerator produces a beam of protons with a circular cross section that is 2.0 mm in diameter and has a current of 1.0 mA.
rewona [7]

Answer:

the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter D = 2.0 mm

current I = 1.0 mA

K.E of each proton is 20 MeV

the number density of the protons in the beam = ?

Now, we make use of the relation between current and drift velocity

I = MeAv ⇒ 1 / eAv

The kinetic energy of protons is given by;

K = \frac{1}{2}m_{p}v²

v = √( 2K / m_{p} )

lets relate the cross-sectional area A of the beam to its diameter D;

A = \frac{1}{4}πD²

now, we substitute for v and A

n = I / \frac{1}{4}πeD² ×√( 2K / m_{p} )

n = 4I/π eD² × √(m_{p} / 2K )

so we plug in our values;

n = ((4×1.0 mA)/(π(1.602×10⁻¹⁹C)(2mm)²) × √(1.673×10⁻²⁷kg / 2×( 20 MeV)(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ J/ev )

n =  1.98695 × 10¹⁸ × 1.6157967  × 10⁻⁵

n = 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³  

Therefore, the number density of the protons in the beam is 3.2 × 10¹³ m⁻³
