Hi there!

Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time = Δv/Δt

Thus:

a = (75 - 15)/4 = 60/4 = 15 mi/hr²

Equation you need to use is a=Vf-Vi/t
Vi=initial velocity
Vf= Final Velocity
Write out the variables and their numbers
Vf=75 mi/hr Vi=15 mi/hr t=4 seconds
Plug it all in
75-15/4
60/4
a=15 mi/hr^2

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s² (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s² (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁ ⇒ 60 N = 95 Kg*a₁

⇒ a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s² (⇒) East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂ ⇒ 60 N = -51 Kg*a₂

⇒ a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s² (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law

A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the m

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, $\gamma _0$ = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, $M_o$ = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, $M_w$ = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = $M_a$

weight of the oil, $W_0 = M_a - 0.013$

weight of the water, $W_w = M_a - 0.012$

The relative density of the oil is given as;

$\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Frequency is measured in units called?

irina1246 [14]

The frequency, f, of a wave is the number of waves passing a point in a certain time. We normally use a time of one second, so this gives frequency the unit hertz (Hz), since one hertz is equal to one wave per second.

A racecar driver steps on the gas, and his racecar travels 20 meters in 2 seconds starting from rest. The acceleration of the ra

givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

$v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a$

divide both sides by 40

$a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2$
