Answer:

Explanation:

Givens

d = 8.5 meters

vi = 0

a = 9.81

t = ?

Formula

d = vi * t + 1/2 a t^2

Solution

8.5 = 0 + 1/2 9.81 * t^2 multiply both sides by 2

8.5 = 4.095 t^2 Divide both sides by 4.095

8.5/4.095 = t^2

1.7329 = t^2 Take the square root of both sides

t = 1.316

It takes 1.316 seconds to hit the ground.

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion of the same amplitude and frequency along close parallel lines. They pass each othe

deff fn [24]

Answer:

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

Explanation:

As we know that the displacement of the particle from the mean position is 1/5 times of its amplitude

so we have

$y = A sin\omega t$

$y = \frac{A}{5}$

so now we have

$\frac{A}{5} = A sin\omega t$

now we have

$\theta_1 = 11.53 degree$

so the phase other particle in opposite direction is given as

$\theta_2 = 180 - 11.53 = 168.46 degree$

so we have phase difference given as

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 168.46 - 11.53$

$\theta_2 - \theta_1 = 156.93 degree$

How is it technically correct to say that a car making a u-turn can have a constant speed but cannot have a constant velocity?

saw5 [17]

During the "U" part of the turn, the car would follow an approximately circular path, and if it's moving at a constant speed, it would have to accelerate toward the center of the circle in order to change its direction.

What property of light waves does the michelson-morley interferometer directly demonstrate?

yan [13]

The wave nature of light, due to the experiment having bright and dark bands corresponding to places where you have constructive and destructive interference.

How are frequency and wave period related?

dedylja [7]

-- The unit of frequency is "per second" (Hz), which is [reciprocal time].

-- The unit of period is "second", which is [time].

Do you see where this is going ?

'Frequency' and 'period' are reciprocals of each other.

For any wave ...

Period = (1) / (frequency) .

Frequency = (1) / (period) .

A test car starts from rest on a horizontal circular track of 115-m radius and increases its speed at a uniform rate to reach 90

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

a= 3.49 m/s^2

Explanation:

magnitude of total acceleration = sqrt{radial acceleration^2+tangential acceleration^2}.

we know that tangential acceleration a_t= change in velocity /time taken

now 90 km/h = 25 m/s

a_t = 25/17 = 1.47 m/s^2.

radial acceleration a_r = v^2/r

v= a_t×t = 1.47×13 = 19.11 m/s

a_r = 19.11^2/115= 3.175

now,

$a= \sqrt{a_t^2+a_r^2}$

$a= \sqrt{1.47^2+3.175^2}$

a= 3.49 m/s^2
