Answer:

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 1750 × 4

We have the final answer as

Answer:

B. 7.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

To find acceleration you need to subtract the final velocity by the starting velocity then divide that by the time

a= v-v/t

a= 60-0/8

a= 60/8

a=7.5 m/s^2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

We finds that the winds are coming from the west at 15 miles per hour. This information shows the velocity of the wind. Since, velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. 15 miles per hour shows the speed of wind and west shows the direction of wind motion.

Hence, the given information describes wind velocity.

A guitar player tunes the fundamental frequency of a guitar string to 560 Hz. (a) What will be the fundamental frequency if she

lawyer [7]

Answer:

(a) if she increases the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased to 740.6 Hz

(b) If she decrease the length of the the string by one-third the fundamental frequency will be increased to 840 Hz

Explanation:

(a) The fundamental, f₁, frequency is given as follows;

$f_1 = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L}$

Where;

T = The tension in the string

μ = The linear density of the string

L = The length of the string

f₁ = The fundamental frequency = 560 Hz

If the tension in the string is increased by 15%, we will have;

$f_{(1 \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T\times 1.15}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times f_1$

$f_{(1 \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 = (1 + 0.3225) \times f_1$

$f_{(1 \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 =\dfrac{132.25}{100} \times 560 \ Hz = 740.6 \ Hz$

Therefore, if the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased by a fraction of 0.3225 or 32.25% to 740.6 Hz

(b) When the string length is decreased by one-third, we have;

The new length of the string, $L_{new}$ = 2/3·L

The value of the fundamental frequency will then be given as follows;

$f_{(1 \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \times \dfrac{2 \times L}{3} } =\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} }{2 \cdot L} = \dfrac{3}{2} \times 560 \ Hz = 840 \ Hz$

When the string length is reduced by one-third, the fundamental frequency increases to one-half or 50% to 840 Hz.

A cheetah runs 5 miles in 60 seconds. How fast did the cheetah run in MILES per HOUR? Convert seconds into hours first, then sol

Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

300 miles per hour

Explanation:

Speed is distance per unit time, expressed as s=d/t where t is the time taken, d is distance covered and s is the speed.

Convering s to hrs

To convert seconds to hours, we knkw that 1 hour has 60 minutes and each minute has 60 seconds. Therefore, 1 hour has 60*60=3600 seconds

If 3600s=1 h

60 s=?

By cross multiplication 60s*1 h/3600s=1/60 hours

Given distance as 5 miles and time as 1/60 hours then the speed will be 5 divided by 1/60 hrs which is equivalent to 5*60=300 miles per hour

In order for work to take place the energy present must be related to the movement of the object.

kaheart [24]

This is another one of those muddy misleading questions, followed by
a muddy group of choices from which an answer must be selected.

a). is absurd. There's no such thing as a "balanced force", only
a balanced group of forces.

b). is probably the choice the question is aiming for.

c). is not so. The engines of an airplane do plenty of work lifting the plane
off the ground, although the force of the engines is never directed upward.

d). is really awkward. The object's motion is almost never the cause of the force.
The force is almost always the cause of the object's motion.

Now for the big 800-lb gorilla in the room: No moving object needs to be involved
in order for energy to be flowing or work to be getting done.

-- A radio wave radiates through space. Straighten out a wire coat-hanger and
stick it up in the air where the radio wave can pass by it. Electrical current flows
through the wire, and you can drain the electrical energy out the bottom of it.

-- A light bulb is shining. Some distance away, something it's shining on
gets warm, because of the heat energy that has shot across to it from the
light bulb and soaked into it.

-- A lightning bolt jumps from the ground to a passing cloud. Or, if you feel
more comfortable with it, a lightning bolt jumps from a cloud to the ground.
It doesn't matter. Either way, there's enough energy splashing around to
ignite houses, zap TVs and computers, melt concrete, vaporize water, and
light up a city. Although nothing is moving.
