Answer:

-5 m/s^2

Explanation:

acceleration =  \frac{change \: in \: velocity}{time}  \\  \\  =  \frac{15 - 25}{2}  \\  \\  =  \frac{ - 10}{2}   \\  \\  =  -  5 \: m {s}^{ - 2}  \\  \\ negative \: sign \: represents \: that \:  \\ object \: is \: slowing \: down.

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (15 m/s − 25 m/s) / 2.0 s

a = -5.0 m/s²

The magnitude of the acceleration is 5.0 m/s².

Two speakers face each other, and they each emit a sound of wavelength λ. One speaker is 180∘ out of phase with respect to the o
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

a. 3/4λ

d. 1/4λ

Explanation:

When the wavelength of the sound waves is λ and the two waves are having same frequency the waves are said to be out of phase if their phase difference is in the multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} or 180°.

When the two waves are out of phase then their opposite maxima coincide at the same time resulting in the minimum amplitude of the resulting wave throughout.

  • As we observe from the schematic that the a wave has sinusoidal pattern of variation and we get a maxima after each \frac{\lambda}{4} of the distance.
  • Here we have two speakers out of phase therefore on shifting one of the speakers by the odd multiples of \frac{\lambda}{2} we have the maxima or the extreme amplitudes.

So, we must place the microphone at  3/4λ and 1/4λ to pickup the loudest sound.

A particle at 9 AM is moving towards the east at 4 ms At 12 noon, it changes its velocity and starts moving towards the north un
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity.

Acceleration and velocity are vectors

If east and north are the positive directions, the east moving vector is reduced to zero and the north moving vector increases from zero to 4 m/s.

There are 3 hours or 10800 seconds between 10 AM and 1 PM

a1 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 10800 m/s² ≈ 4.2 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

There are 14400 seconds between 10 AM and 2 PM

The velocity changes are still the same

a2 = √((-4)² + 4²) / 10800 = (√32) / 14400 m/s² ≈ 3.9 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

An ocean liner is cruising at 10 meters/second and is about to approach a stationary ferryboat. A parcel is released from the oc
Afina-wow [57]
The parcel will undergo projectile motion, which means that it will have motion in both the horizontal and vertical direction.

First, we determine how long the parcel will fall using:

s = ut + 1/2 at²

where s will be the height, u is the initial vertical velocity of the parcel (0), t is the time of fall and a is the acceleration due to gravity. 

5.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (9.81)(t)²
t = 1.06 seconds

Now, we may use this time to determine the horizontal distance covered by the parcel by using:
distance = velocity * time

The horizontal velocity of the parcel will be equal to the horizontal velocity of the cruise liner.

Distance = 10 * 1.06
Distance = 10.6 meters

The boat should be 10.6 meters away horizontally from the point of release.

You are wallpapering two walls of a room. One wall measures 15 ft by 12 ft and the other measures 9 ft by 12 ft. The wall paper
enyata [817]

Answer:

5.76 round off to 6

Explanation:

wall 1 = 15 × 12 = 180

wall 2 = 9 × 12 = 108

now 1 roll covers 50 square feet

formula = wall 1 + wall 2 / 50

= 180 + 108 / 50

= 288÷ 50

= 5.76

James Cameron piloted a submersible craft to the bottom of the Challenger Deep, the deepest point on the ocean's floor, 11,000 m
Over [174]

Answer:

4.1\cdot 10^8 N

Explanation:

First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:

p=p_0 + \rho g h

where

p_0 =1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa is the atmospheric pressure

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3 is the water density

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

h=11,000 m is the depth

Substituting,

p=1.01\cdot 10^5 Pa + (1000 kg/m^3)(9.8 m/s^2)(11,000 m)=1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa

The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m

So the total area of the sphere is

A=4 \pi r^2 = 4 \pi (0.55 m)^2=3.8 m^2

And so, the inward force exerted on it is

F=pA=(1.08\cdot 10^8 Pa)(3.8 m^2)=4.1\cdot 10^8 N
