Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 2100 \ meters}}

Explanation:

We are asked to find the distance a firework travels.

We are given the initial velocity, acceleration, and time, but we don't know the final velocity. Therefore, we will use the following kinematic equation.

d=v_it+\frac{1}{2} at^2

The initial velocity is 235 meters per second. The firework travels for 12 seconds. It has an acceleration of -10 meters per second squared.

  • v_i= 235 m/s
  • t= 12 s
  • a= -10 m/s²

Substitute the values into the formula.

d= (235 \ m/s)(12 \ s) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 m/s^2)(12 \ s)^2

Multiply the first 2 numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds cancel.

d=(235 \ m * 12 ) + \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2

d= (2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(12 \ s )^2

Solve the exponent.

  • (12 s)²= 12 s * 12s = 144 s²

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m/s^2)(144 \ s^2)

Multiply the other numbers in parentheses. The units of seconds squared cancel.

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-10 \ m * 144 )

d=(2820 \ m)+ \frac{1}{2} (-1440 \ m)

Multiply by 1/2 or divide by 2.

d= 2820  \ m + (-720 \ m)

Add.

d= 2100 \ m

The firework traveled <u>2100 meters</u> before exploding.

A particle whose speed is 50 m/sec moves along the line from A(2,1) to B (9,25)
WINSTONCH [101]

First, calculate for the distance between the given points A and B by using the equation,

<span>                                                D = sqrt ((x2 – x1)2 + (y2 – y1)2)</span>

 

Substitute the known values:

<span>                                                D = sqrt((9 – 2)2 + (25 – 1)2)</span>

<span>                                                D = 25 m</span>

 

I assume the unknown here is the time it would require for the particle to move from point A to B. This can be answered by dividing the calculated distance by the speed given above.

<span>                                                t = (25 m)/ (50 m/s) = 0.5 s</span>

 

<span>Thus, it will take 0.5s for the particle to complete the route. </span>

A force parallel to the x-axis acts on a particle moving along the x-axis. This force produces potential energy U(x) given by U(
noname [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

U(x)=αx⁴

Force F = - dU / dx

= 4αx³

= 4 x .75 x³

= 3 x³

Force when x = .8 m

F =  3 (0.8)³

= 1.54 N

Mildred takes a pound of frozen hamburger meat out of the freezer and puts it into the refrigerator.
Hatshy [7]
The meat in the freezer is frozen. 
Everything else in the freezer is frozen too. 
Nothing in the refrigerator is frozen. 
The freezer is colder than the refrigerator.  <span>

Mildred takes a pound of frozen hamburger meat out of the freezer
and puts it into the refrigerator.  The meat is colder than anything
else that's in there.

Heat flows from the air in the refrigerator into the frozen hamburger (C)
and warms up the meat.  When the temperature of the meat warms up
to the temperature of the air in the refrigerator, the heat stops flowing.</span>

Velocity of sound increases on a cloudy day. Why?
Nat2105 [25]
The density of air reduces as humidity and amount of water in the air increases. <span> The speed of sound is inversely proportional to the root of density, therefore sound travels faster on a cloudy day than on a dry day so, velocity of sound increase.</span>
