Answer:    -0.0288 m/s^2

Explanation:

Let's suppose that the ferry decelerates at a constant rate A (deceleration is an acceleration in the opposite direction to the original motion of an object)

Then the acceleration equation of the ferry will be:

a(t) = -A

(the negative sign is because this acceleration is in the opposite direction with respect to the movement of the ferry)

To get the velocity equation of the ferry, we need to integrate with respect to the time, t, we will get:

v(t) = -A*t + v0

where v0 is the initial velocity of the ferry, v0 = 12m/s.

v(t) = -A*t + 12m/s

For the position equation of the ferry we need to integrate again over time:

p(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t + p0

Where p0 is the initial position of the ferry, in this case, it can be zero, because it will depend on where we put the origin on our coordinate axis.

then p0 = 0m

P(t) = (-A/2)*t^2 + (12m/s)*t

The ferry will come to rest at the moment when it's velocity is equal to zero, this will happen when:

v(t) = 0m/s = -A*t + 12m/s

We need to find the value of t.

A*t = 12m/s

t = (12m/s)/A

Now we can replace this in the position equation because we know that the ferry needs 2.5 km or 2500 meters to come to rest.

p(  (12m/s)/A) = 2500m =  (-A/2)*( (12m/s)/A)^2 + (12m/s)*((12m/s)/A)

2500m = (-72 m^2/s^2)/A + (144m^2/s^2)/A

2500m = (72 m^2/s^2)/A

2500m*A = (72 m^2/s^2)

A = (72 m^2/s^2)/2500m = 0.0288 m/s^2

and the acceleration of the ferry was -A, then the acceleration of the ferry is:

-0.0288 m/s^2

A radio station broadcasts its music with waves at a frequency of 7.34 x 10²Hz. These radio waves travel at a speed of 3.00x 10%
Lorico [155]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

<u>I will use   3 x 10^8 m/s for speed or wave</u>

speed = wavelength * frequency

3 x 10^8  = w * 7.34 x 10^2     <====== are you sure this isn't KILO Hz ?

w = <u>408719. 3 meters   </u>

Ron is on a Ferris wheel of radius 30 ft that turns counterclockwise at a rate of one revolution every 12 seconds. The lowest po
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t

y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t + 45

Explanation:

1 full revolution is 2\pi. let \theta be the angle of Ron's position.

At t = 0. \theta = 0

one full revolution occurs in 12 sec, so his angle at t time is

\theta =2\pi \frac{t}{12} = \frac{\pi}{6}t

r is radius of circle and it is given as

x = rcos\theta

y = rsin\theta

for r = 30 sec

x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t

y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t

however, that is centered at (0,0) and the positioned at time t = 0 is (30,0). it is need to shift so that the start position is (30,45). it can be done by adding to y

x = 30cos\frac{\pi}{6}t

y = 30sin\frac{\pi}{6}t + 45
