Answer:

$10^{-6} s
$

The period of a wave is the duration it takes to complete one full oscillation, such as from one peak to the next trough.

Since the period is expressed in microseconds, it needs to be converted into seconds.

The conversion is:

$1\mu s=10^{-6} s
$

Accordingly, the wave's period in seconds is $10^{-6} s
$ .

A plane flying at 70.0 m/s suddenly stalls. If the acceleration during the stall is 9.8 m/s2 directly downward, the stall lasts

ValentinkaMS [1144]

Answer:

v = 66.4 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the aircraft starts off moving at a speed of

$v = 70 m/s$

now we have

$v_x = 70 cos25$

$v_x = 63.44 m/s$

$v_y = 70 sin25$

$v_y = 29.6 m/s$

in the Y direction, we can apply kinematic equations

$v_y = v_i + at$

$v_y = 29.6 - (9.81 \times 5)$

$v_y = -19.5 m/s$

as there is no acceleration along the x-axis, the velocity in this direction remains unchanged

thus yielding

$v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}$

$v = \sqrt{63.44^2 + 19.5^2}$

$v = 66.4 m/s$

A window washer on a hanging platform cleans the outside of windows on a skyscraper. The washer hoists the platform up the side

kicyunya [1011]

Answer:

The acceleration of the platform is - 1.8 m/s²

Explanation:

The net force on a body causes that body to accelerate in the direction of the resultant force applied.

Setting up the force equilibrium for the configuration:

ma = 800 - mg

100a = 800 - 100×9.8

100a = - 180

a = - 1.8 m/s²

This indicates that the body is falling downward.

Ostrovityanka [942]

Answer:

d_total = 12 m

Explanation:

In this kinematics scenario illustrated in the graph provided, we determine the distance traveled over a 24-second duration.

The comprehensive distance can be calculated as follows:

d_total = d₁ + d₂ + d₃

Given that d₂ on the graph is level (v=0), its distance equates to zero, hence d₂ = 0.

The distance for d₁ is calculated as:

d₁ = 12 - 6 = 6 m

For distance d₃:

d₃ = 6 - 0 = 6 m

Thus, the overall distance covered is:

d_total = 6 + 0 + 6

d_total = 12 m

Sav [1095]

Even if we lack details about the size of the pressure cooker or the altitude of its operation, we can reliably assess the force on the lid based on prior knowledge because, similar to boiling water, the pressure buildup inside the cooker increases in line with the rising temperature.
