Part A:
Acceleration can be calculated by dividing the difference of the initial and final velocities by the given time. That is,
a = (Vf - Vi) / t
where a is acceleration,
Vf is final velocity,
Vi is initial velocity, and
t is time
Substituting,
a = (9 m/s - 0 m/s) / 3 s = 3 m/s²
<em>ANSWER: 3 m/s²</em>
Part B:
From Newton's second law of motion, the net force is equal to the product of the mass and acceleration,
F = m x a
where F is force,
m is mass, and
a is acceleration
Substituting,
F = (80 kg) x (3 m/s²) = 240 kg m/s² = 240 N
<em>ANSWER: 240 N </em>
Part C:
The distance that the sprinter travel is calculated through the equation,
d = V₀t + 0.5at²
Substituting,
d = (0 m/s)(3 s) + 0.5(3 m/s²)(3 s)²
d = 13.5 m
<em>ANSWER: d = 13.5 m</em>
<u>Yes. The speed of a rocket can exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel.</u>
How this is explained?
- The thrust of the rocket does not depend on the relative speed of the gases or the relative speed of the rocket.
- It depends on conservation of momentum.
What is conservation of momentum?
- Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
- Momentum is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity and is equivalent to the force required to bring the object to a stop in a unit length of time.
- For any array of several objects, the total momentum is the sum of the individual momenta.
- There is a peculiarity, however, in that momentum is a vector, involving both the direction and the magnitude of motion, so that the momenta of objects going in opposite directions can cancel to yield an overall sum of zero.

Sound and water waves are longitudinal waves, they require a medium to travel through and occilate particles 90 degrees to the wave motion
Light is a transverse wave. It doesnt require a medium to travel through.
All three reflect, refract and diffract
Light is difficult to think of because it acts in ways which waves cannot explain in some cirumstances. It acts like a particle (called photons) in some conditions, but acts like a normal sound or water wave does in others. Try not to get too caught up in light being a wave or a particle because even physists dont know how to explain it yet.
Answer:
okay with you if you want to
