Answer:

the magnitude of the acceleration a = 0.43 m/s²

Explanation:

m = 58kg

F = 25 N

a = ?

recall that F = ma

=> a = F/m

a = 25/58

a = 0.43 m/s²

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

Let us consider the case of a bus turning around a corner with a constant velocity, as the bus approaches the corner, the velocity at say point A is Va, and is tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve. Also, the velocity at another point say point B is Vb and is also tangential to the curve with direction pointing away from the curve.<em> </em><em>Although the velocity at point A and the velocity at point B have the same magnitude, their directions are different (velocity is a vector quantity), and hence we have a change in velocity. By definition, an acceleration occurs when we have a change in velocity, so the bus experiences an acceleration at the corner whose direction is away from the center of the corner</em>.

The acceleration is not aligned with the direction of travel because<em> the change in velocity is at a tangent (directed away) to the direction of travel of the bus.</em>

You set a tuning fork into vibration at a frequency of 723 Hz and then drop it off the roof of the Physics building where the ac
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Original Frequency f=723\ Hz

apparent Frequency f'=697\ Hz

There is change in frequency whenever source move relative to the observer.

From Doppler effect we can write as

f'=f\cdot \frac{v-v_o}{v+v_s}

where  

f'=apparent frequency  

v=velocity of sound in the given media

v_s=velocity of source

v_0=velocity of observer  

here v_0=0

697=723\cdot (\frac{343-0}{343+v_s})

v_s=(\frac{f}{f'}-1)v

v_s=(\frac{723}{697}-1)\cdot 343

v_s=12.79\approx 12.8\ m/s

i.e.fork acquired a velocity of 12.8 m/s

distance traveled by fork is given by

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

v_s^2-0=2\times 9.8\times s

s=\frac{12.8^2}{2\times 9.8}

s=8.35\ m

How does the sun transfer energy to Earth?
aleksley [76]

Answer:

By electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

The sun transfers heat to earth via electromagnetic waves  in twomajor  ways:

Radiation- this is the transfer of energy by invisible electromagnetic ways.

Convection-The radiant sun energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This transfer of heat through movement of fluids or usually air is called convection.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

3×10^7 m/s or 0.10c (e)

Explanation: If the actual value of the speed of light were to be put into consideration.

Given that the speed of light is c = 3.0×10^8m/s

The alien spaceship is approaching at the rate of 10% of the speed of light.

10% of 3.0×10^8m/s

10/100 × 3.0×10^8m/s

0.1 ×3.0×10^8m/s

3×10^7 m/s. Which is the same thing as 0.1 of c = 0.1×c

mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

T=4985.5^{\circ}K

Explanation:

The equation that relates heat Q with the temperature change T-T_0 of a substance of mass <em>m </em>and specific heat <em>c </em>is Q=mc(T-T_0).

We want to calculate the final temperature <em>T, </em>so we have:

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0

Which for our values means (in this case we do not need to convert the mass to Kg since <em>c</em> is given in g also and they cancel out, but we add 273^{\circ} to our temperature in ^{\circ}C to have it in ^{\circ}K as it must be):

T=\frac{Q}{mc}+T_0=\frac{40.5J}{(15g)(0.128J/g^{\circ}C)}+(298^{\circ}K)=4985.5^{\circ}K
