Answer:

The answer to your question is: 15 m/s2

Explanation:

Equation    x = at3 - bt2 + ct

a = 4.1 m/s3

b = 2.2 m/s2

c = 1.7 m/s

First we find  x at t = 4.1 s

x = 4.1(4.1)3 - 2.2(4.1)2 + 1.7(4.1)

x = 4.1(68.921) - 2.2(16.81) + 6.97

x = 282.58 - 36.98 + 6.98

x = 252.58 m

Now we find speed

v = x/t = 252.58/ 4.1 = 61.6 m/s

Finally

acceleration = v/t = 61.6/4.1 = 15 m/s2

Two balls of unequal mass are hung from two springs that are not identical. The springs stretch the same distance as the two sys
baherus [9]

Answer:

a. Springs oscillate with the same frequency

Explanation:

As they both are in the same height at equilibrium, so

weight of ball must be balanced with spring force, that is

k×x=mg

k= stiffness constant of spring

x=distance stretched

g= acceleration due to gravity

so,  we can write

k/m=g/x

as the g is a constant and they stretched to same distance x so the g/x term becomes constant and

f\propto\sqrt{k/m}

and k/m is same for both the springs so they will oscillate at the same frequency.

hence option a is correct.

A dog is 60m away while moving at constant velocity of 10m/s towards you. Where is the dog after 4 seconds?
evablogger [386]
20m away

the dog was 60m away from. you subtract 40m since it is 10m/s x 4 seconds

If the frequencies of two component waves are 24 Hz and 20 Hz, they should produce _______ beats per second.
horrorfan [7]
This can be answered using the beat frequency formula, which is simply the difference between 2 frequencies.

Let: <span>fᵇ = beat frequency
</span>f₁ = first frequency
f₂ = second frequency

fᵇ = |f₁ - f₂|

substituting the values:
fᵇ = |24Hz - 20Hz|
fᵇ = 4Hz

The unit Hz also means beats per second, therefore:
<span>fᵇ = 4 beats per second
</span>
Therefore, the answer is C. 4

If a 5.0 kg box is pulled simultaneously by a 10.0 N force and a 5.0 N force, then its acceleration must be?
kicyunya [14]

For this case we have that by definition:

F = ma

Where,

  • <em>m: mass of the object </em>
  • <em>a: acceleration of the object </em>
  • <em>F: summation of forces </em>

We have then:

F = 10 + 5\\F = 15 N

Then, by clearing the acceleration we have:

a = \frac {F} {m}

Substituting values we have:

a = \frac {15} {5}\\a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is equal to:

a = 3 \frac {m} {s ^ 2}
