You are attending a county fair with your friend from your physics class. While walking around the fairgrounds, you discover a n

To determine the average net force, we can calculate acceleration using:

x = 0.5*a*t^2

v = a*t

where x=3.6m and v=185 m/s.

Thus,

t=v/a and therefore x = 0.5*a*(v/a)^2 = 0.5 * (v^2)/a

which gives us a= (0.5*v^2)/x

Since we have the known values of v and x, we can compute a by substituting these numbers.

The average net force is then given as:

F = m*a,

with m=7.5kg.

Answer:

According to the guideline for kilometers, every three seconds between a lightning strike and the subsequent thunder indicates the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Explanation:

To calculate the speed of sound in meters per second, we need to utilize certain conversion factors. One mile corresponds to 5 seconds after witnessing the lightning. Furthermore, 1 mile comprises 5280 feet, and 1 foot is equivalent to 0.3048 meters. This information is sufficient to solve the issue. The conversion ratios can be set up like this:

Observe how the ratios are organized such that the units cancel out during calculations. One ratio has miles in the numerator while the other has them in the denominator, leading to cancellation. The same applies to the feet.

The question requires us to provide the answer to one significant figure, resulting in the speed of sound rounding to 300m/s.

For the second part, we will again utilize conversions. This time we will set our ratios in reverse and realize that there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer, leading us to:

This signifies that for every 3.11 seconds, the distance to the lightning strike is 1 kilometer. Since this is a fabric of general knowledge, we round to the nearest whole number for simplicity, establishing the guideline:

According to the rule for kilometers, every three seconds between a lightning flash and the following thunder gives the distance to the flash in kilometers.

Answer:

Explanation:

The first number is .

The second number is .

We must multiply these two numbers together.

In scientific notation:

Therefore, this is the solution you are looking for.

Answer:

C) True. The distance S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀), illustrating that v₁> v₂ for the same t.

Explanation:

We have a set of statements to evaluate for correctness. The most effective approach is to examine the problem in detail.

Using the equation for vertical launch, we acknowledge that the positive direction signifies downward movement.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Stone 2

Released shortly thereafter, let's assume a delay of one second, we can utilize the same timing mechanism

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

We can now calculate the separation distance between the two stones, which is applicable for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t² - 2 t t₀ + t₀²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t - t₀)

This represents the distance between the two stones over time, with the coefficient outside the parentheses being constant.

For t < to, the first stone remains stationary while the distance grows.

For t > = to, the expression (2t/to-1) yields a value greater than 1, indicating that the distance expands as time progresses.

We can now analyze the different statements

A) false. The height difference increases over time.

B) False S increases.

C) It is true that S increases over time, with v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) indicating v₁> v₂ at the same t.
