-BARSIC- [3]3 years ago

6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160}{4.5} = 35.55555...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

$W = mgh$

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

$h = 14.1 sin7.3 km$

here we have

$h = 1.79 km$

now from above equation

$W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)$

$W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J$

so work done will be given by above value

Sound exits a diffraction horn loudspeaker through a rectangular opening like a small doorway. Such a loudspeaker is mounted out

blondinia [14]

Answer:

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the sound is given as

$v = 332 + 0.6 t$

now at t = 273 k = 0 degree

$v = 332 m/s$

so we have

$a sin\theta = N\lambda$

$a sin\theta = N(\frac{v_1}{f})$

now when temperature is changed to 313 K we have

$t = 313 - 273 = 40 degree$

now we have

$v = 332 + (0.6)(40)$

$v_2 = 356 m/s$

$a sin\theta' = N(\frac{v_2}{f})$

now from two equations we have

$\frac{sin19.5}{sin\theta} = \frac{332}{356}$

so we have

$sin\theta = 0.358$

$\theta = 20.98 degree$

yarga [219]

Hello! The nontoxic, nonflammable chemicals containing atoms of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine that have created a hole in the ozone layer are the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)

These are compounds developed and improved by Thomas Midgley in the late 1920s. They were used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants.

These compounds created a hole in the ozone layer by the following reactions:

CCl₃F → CCl₂F· + Cl· (In the presence of light. Radical Reaction)
Cl· + O₃ → ClO + O₂
ClO + O₃ → Cl· + O₂

The last 2 reactions can repeat in a radical mechanism and explain why these compounds are so harmful to the ozone layer.

An ant travels 2.78 cm (West) and then turns and travels 6.25 cm (South 40 degrees East). What is the ant's total displacement?

andrey2020 [161]

$From\ cosine\ theorem:\\\\
c^2=a^2+b^2-2abcos(\angle between\ a\ and\ b)\\\\
a=2,78\\b=6,25\\
\angle between\ a\ and\ b=90+50=140^{\circ}\\\\
c^2=2,78^2+6,25^2-2*2,78*6,25cos(140^{\circ})\\\\
c^2=7,7284+39,0625-34,75*(-0,77)\\\\c^2=46,7909+26,7575\\\\c^2=735484\\\\c=8,58cm\\\\Total\ displacement\ is\ equal\ to\ 8,58cm.$

In which direction does a bag at rest move when a force of 20 newtons is applied from the right? A. in the direction of the appl

-Dominant- [34]

The correct answer is A. In the direction of applied force. This is because acceleration occurs n the direction of applied force according to Newtons second law of motion which states that the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of force.
