Answer:

S = V0 t + 1/2 a t^2

S = 5 m/s * 300 s + 1/2 * 1.2 m/s * (300 s^2)

S = 1500 m + .6 * 90000 m = 55,500 m

Check:     V0 = 5 m/s

                V2 = V0 + a t  = 5 + 1.2 * 300 = 365 m/s

Vav = (V1 + V2) / 2 = (5 + 365) / 2 = 185 m/s     (note uniform motion)

S = 185 * 300 = 55,500 m

We calculated V2 above at 365 m/s  the speed after 300 sec

While performing an experiment, the student creating the data table is not sure if a measurement from the experiment is a vector
marin [14]

Before coming into conclusion first we have to understand both scalar and vector .

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude for it's complete specification.

A vector quantity is that physical quantity which not only requires magnitude but also possesses direction for it's complete specification.

So the most important factor that differentiate vector from scalar is the direction.

As per the question the student is doing an experiment where he is recording the data obtained during the process.

In order to arrange them in data table, he should ask about the direction of the quantity under consideration.


Hence the correct option is the third option(C)i.e does the measurement include direction?

Radio waves transmitted through space at 3.00 ✕ 108 m/s by the Voyager spacecraft have a wavelength of 0.137 m. What is their fr
fredd [130]

Answer:

Frequency, f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of radio waves is 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Wavelength of radio waves is \lambda=0.137\ m

It is required to find the frequency of the radio waves. The speed of a wave is given by :

v=f\lambda\\\\f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{0.137}\\\\f=2.18\times 10^9\ Hz

So, the frequency of the radio wave is 2.18\times 10^9\ Hz.

A body is thrown up with a velocity of 78.4 m per second.How high will it rise and how much time it will take to return to its p
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The maximum height reached by the body is 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is 8 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the body, u = 78.4 m/s

at maximum height (h) the final velocity of the body (v) = 0

The following equation is applied to determine the maximum height reached by the body;

v² = u² - 2gh

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

h = (78.4²) / (2 x 9.8)

h = 313.6 m

The time to return to its point of projection is calculated as follows;

at maximum height, the final velocity becomes the initial velocity = 0

h = v + ¹/₂gt²

h = 0 + ¹/₂gt²

h =  ¹/₂gt²

2h = gt²

t² = 2h/g

t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 313.6}{9.8} }\\\\t = 8 \ s

Imagine a simple pendulum swinging in an elevator. If the cable holding the elevator up was to snap, allowing the elevator to go
Lady_Fox [76]

One of the components that affect the period is gravity (the other is length). This gravity is basically the value of the effective acceleration that acts on the body due to gravity. When the elevator is over free fall, the effective gravity becomes zero. Mathematically this can be visualized as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{\dot{g_{eff}}}}

Since this value is zero, the period would tend to be infinite,

T \rightarrow \infty

Therefore the frequency that is inversely proportional to the period would be defined as

f = \frac{1}{T}

f = \frac{1}{\infty}

f \approx 0

In this way there is no frequency on the body which will not generate any oscillation on the body
