What does Newton's second law describe?

1 answer:

5 0

B. Newton's second law says that “when a constant force acts on a massive body, it causes it to accelerate, i.e., to change its velocity, at a constant rate.”

The initial and final velocities of two blocks experiencing constant acceleration are respectively −7.45 m/s and 14.9 m/s. (a) T

ikadub [295]

Answer:

a) $a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}$

b) $a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

a) The displacement of the first object is 22.5 m, so we can use the next equation:

$v_{f}^{2}=v_{i}^{2}+2a\Delta x$

$a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}$

$a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.5}$

$a_{1}=3.7 m/s^{2}$

positive acceleration.

b) Using the same equation we can find the second value of the acceleration:

$a=\frac{v_{f}^{2}-v_{i}^{2}}{2x}$

$a=\frac{14.9^{2}-(-7.45)^{2}}{2*22.6}$

$a_{2}=3.68 m/s^{2}$

positive acceleration.

I hope it helps you!

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

A certain radio wave has a wavelength of 6.0 × 10-2m. What is its frequency in hertz?

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V / λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

How does sound travel?

Doss [256]

Answer:

Sound vibrations travel in a wave pattern, and we call these vibrations sound waves. Sound waves move by vibrating objects and these objects vibrate other surrounding objects, carrying the sound along. ... Sound can move through the air, water, or solids, as long as there are particles to bounce off of.
