Answer:

The statement is not correct.

Explanation:

To know if the statement is correct, we shall determine the velocity of the car after 3 s. This is illustrated below.

Data obtained from the question include:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Time (t) = 3 s

Final velocity (v) =?

v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 3)

v = 0 + 29.4

v = 29.4 m/s

Thus, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 29.4 m/s.

Hence, the statement made by the friend is not correct as the car has a falling velocity of 29.4 m/s after 3 s.

A 50 g mass is freely hanging from a horizontal meter stick at a distance of 99 cm from the pivot. Calculate the weight force W
Neko [114]

Answer:

W = 0.49 N

τ = 0.4851 Nm

Force

Explanation:

The weight force can be found as:

W = mg

W = (0.05 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>W = 0.49 N</u>

The torque about the pivot can be found as:

τ = W*d

where,

τ = torque

d = distance between weight and pivot = 99 cm = 0.99 m

Therefore,

τ = (0.49 N)(0.99 m)

<u>τ = 0.4851 Nm</u>

The pivot exerts a  <u>FORCE </u>on the meter stick because the pivot applies force normally over the stick and has a zero distance from stick.

The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second if i
Sergio [31]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Diameter of fighter plane=2.3 m

Radius=r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.3}{2}=1.15 m

a.We have to find the angular velocity in radians per second if it spins=1200 rev/min

Frequency=\frac{1200}{60}=20 Hz

1 minute=60 seconds

Angular velocity=\omega=2\pi f

Angular velocity=2\times \frac{22}{7}\times 20=125.7 rad/s

b.We have to find the linear speed of its tip at this  angular velocity if the plane is stationary on the tarmac.

v=r\omega=1.15\times 125.7=144.56 m/s

c.Centripetal acceleration=\omega^2 r=(125.7)^2(1.15)=18170.56 m/s^2

Centripetal acceleration==\frac{18170.56\times g}{9.81}=1852.25 g m/s^2

Use the fact that 1inch=2.54cm and convert 52 inches into the equivalent length in centimeters.
Lelu [443]

Answer:

To convert inches to centimeters, use an easy formula and multiply the length by the conversion ratio.

Since one inch is equal to 2.54 centimeters, this is the inches to cm formula to conver

What term is used to describe all of the wavelengths of light waves?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

B.electromagnetic spectrum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum is used to  describe all of the wavelengths of light waves.Generally wavelength of the wave is denoted by λ.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crest .Wavelength of the red color is minimum and wavelength of the violet color is maximum in the light  spectrum.

So the answer is B.

Electromagnetic spectrum
