First, find the needed acceleration needed for the car to stop from its initial velocity given the distance. This is calculated through the equation,
                                             2ad = Vf² - Vi²
where a and d are acceleration and distance, respectively. Vf and Vi are final and initial velocities, respectively. Substituting the known values,
           2(a)(35 m) = (0 m/s)² - ((65 km/h) x (1000 m/ 1 km) x (1 hr / 3600 s))²
The value of acceleration is -4.66 m/s².
The force needed to stop the car is the product of the mass and the acceleration. The operations gives us an answer of -4,660 N. We take the positive value, 4,660 N.

If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.

Two speakers both emit sound of frequency 320 Hz, and are in phase. A receiver sits 2.3 m from one speaker, and 2.9 m from the o
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The phase difference is found by subtracting the 2.3m for the receiver from the other speaker which is 2.9m hence

Phase difference= 2.9-2.3= 0.6

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

C) rift valley

Explanation:

A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.

A 4.00-kg mass is attached to a very light ideal spring hanging vertically and hangs at rest in the equilibrium position. The sp
Ahat [919]

Answer:

|v| = 8.7 cm/s

Explanation:

given:

mass m = 4 kg

spring constant k = 1 N/cm = 100 N/m

at time t = 0:

amplitude A = 0.02m

unknown: velocity v at position y = 0.01 m

y = A cos(\omega t + \phi)\\v = -\omega A sin(\omega t + \phi)\\ \omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

1. Finding Ф from the initial conditions:

-0.02 = 0.02cos(0 + \phi) => \phi = \pi

2. Finding time t at position y = 1 cm:

0.01 =0.02cos(\omega t + \pi)\\ \frac{1}{2}=cos(\omega t + \pi)\\t=(acos(\frac{1}{2})-\pi)\frac{1}{\omega}

3. Find velocity v at time t from equation 2:

v =-0.02\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}sin(acos(\frac{1}{2}))
