The point from which they depart in Atlanta is the reference time in this. The distance and time are both measured from that point.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

The reference point is<u> Atlanta</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Reference point is a point that is used to find or describe or define the location of another point. Objects move relative to a reference point. Linear motions may therefore not be detected without the presence of a reference point.</u></em>
<u>In this case the</u><em><u> reference point is Atlanta, this is where the family started their motion from. </u></em><u>Such that this point may be used to describe their movement. It is sued to describe their movement to Baltmore.</u>

7. A mother pushes her 9.5 kg baby in her 5kg baby carriage over the grass with a force of 110N @ an angle

jasenka [17]

Weight of the carriage $=(m+M)g =142.1\ N$

Normal force $=Fsin(\theta) + W = 197.1\ N$

Frictional force $=\mu N=27.59\ N$

Acceleration $=4.66\ m\ s^{-2}$

Explanation:

We have to look into the FBD of the carriage.

Horizontal forces and Vertical forces separately.

To calculate Weight we know that both the mass of the baby and the carriage will be added.

So Weight(W) $=(m+M)\times g =(9.5+5)\ kg \times 9.8 =142.1\ Newton\ (N)$

To calculate normal force we have to look upon the vertical component of forces, as Normal force is acting vertically.We have weight which is a downward force along with $F_x$ , force of $110\ N$ acting vertically downward.Both are downward and Normal is upward so Normal force $=Summation\ of\ both\ forces$

Normal force (N) $= Fsin(\theta)+W=110sin(30) + 142.1 =197.1\ N$

Frictional force (f) $=\mu N=0.14\times 197.1 =27.59\ N$

To calculate acceleration we will use Newtons second law.

That is Force is product of mass and acceleration.

We can see in the diagram that $F_y=Horizontal$ and $F_x=Vertical$ component of forces.

So Fnet = Fy(Horizontal) - f(friction) $= m\times a$

Acceleration (a) = $\frac{Fcos(\theta)-\mu N}{mass(m)} =\frac{(95.26-27.59)}{14.5}= 4.66\ m\ s{^2 }$

So we have the weight of the carriage, normal force,frictional force and acceleration.

A microwave oven operates at 2.60 ghz . what is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

cestrela7 [59]

<span>10.3 cm The wavelength will be the distance that light travels in 1 second divided by the frequency of the radiation. Since the over operates at 2.60 ghz, the frequence is 2.6 billion times per second, or 2.60 x 10^9. The speed of light is defined as 299792458 m/s exactly. So 299792458 m/s / 2.60 x 10^9 1/s = 0.10337671 m = 10.337671 cm Since we only have 3 significant digits, the answer rounds to 10.3 cm</span>

An amusement park ride raises people high into the air, suspends them for a moment, and then drops them at a rate of free-fall a

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: apparent weighlessness.

Explanation:

1) Balance of forces on a person falling:

i) To answer this question we will deal with the assumption of non-drag force (abscence of air).

ii) When a person is dropped, and there is not air resistance, the only force acting on the person's body is the Earth's gravitational attraction (downward), which is the responsible for the gravitational acceleration (around 9.8 m/s²).

iii) Under that sceneraio, there is not normal force acting on the person (the normal force is the force that the floor or a chair exerts on a body to balance the gravitational force when the body is on it).

2) This is, the person does not feel a pressure upward, which is he/she does not feel the weight: freefalling is a situation of apparent weigthlessness.

3) True weightlessness is when the object is in a place where there exists not grativational acceleration: for example a point between two planes where the grativational forces are equal in magnitude but opposing in direction and so they cancel each other.

Therefore, you conclude that, assuming no air resistance, a person in this ride experiencing apparent weightlessness.

An archer draws her bow and stores 34.8 J of elastic potential energy in the bow. She releases the 63 g arrow, giving it an init

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Approximately $71\%$ .

Explanation:

The formula for the kinetic energy $\rm KE$ of an object is:

$\displaystyle \mathrm{KE} = \frac{1}{2}\, m \cdot v^2$ ,

where

$m$ is the mass of that object, and
$v$ is the speed of that object.

Important: Joule ( $\rm J$ ) is the standard unit for energy. The formula for $\rm KE$ requires two inputs: mass and speed. The standard unit of mass is $\rm kg$ while the standard unit for speed is $\rm m \cdot s^{-1}$ . If both inputs are in standard units, then the output (kinetic energy) will also be in the standard unit (that is: joules,

Convert the unit of the arrow's mass to standard unit:

$m = 63\; \rm g = 0.063\; \rm kg$ .

Initial $\rm KE$ of this arrow:

$\begin{aligned}\mathrm{KE} &= \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^2 \\ &= \frac{1}{2}\times 0.063\; \rm kg \times \left(\rm 28 \; m \cdot s^{-1}\right)^2 \\ &\approx 24.696\; \rm J\end{aligned}$ .

That's the same as the energy output of this bow. Hence, the efficiency of energy transfer will be:

$\displaystyle \frac{24.696\; \rm J}{34.8\; \rm J} \times 100\% \approx 71\%$ .
