Chapter 2, Problem 37CQ
Return to example box 2.4, but this time assume the acceleration is a negative 1 m/s2; in other words, the car is slowing down. Using the same equations (and same initial velocity of +10 m/s), determine the final velocity after 6 seconds, and the distance traveled after 6 seconds. Then, graph the velocity-versus-time graph and determine the distance traveled from the area under the curve.

a cubic foot of argon at 20 degrees celsius is isentropically compressed from 1 atm to 425 KPa. What is the new temperature and density?
Calculate the variance of the calculated accelerations. The free fall height was 1753 mm. The measured release and catch times were:
222.22 800.00
61.11 641.67
0.00 588.89
11.11 588.89
8.33 588.89
11.11 588.89
5.56 586.11
2.78 583.33
Give in the answer window the calculated repeated experiment variance in m/s2.

Consider the situation of the reflection of a pulse at the interface of two string described in the previous problem. In addition to the net disturbances being equal at the junction, the slope of the net disturbances must also be equal at the junction at all times. Given that p1 = 4.0 g/m, H2 = 9.0 g/m and Aj = 0.50 cm find 2. A, (Answer: -0.10 cm) and 3. Ay. (Answer: 0.40 cm)please I need to show all work step by step problems 2 and 3arrow_forward
- look at answer show all work step by steparrow_forwardLook at the answer and please show all work step by steparrow_forward3. As a woman, who's eyes are h = 1.5 m above the ground, looks down the road sees a tree with height H = 9.0 m. Below the tree is what appears to be a reflection of the tree. The observation of this apparent reflection gives the illusion of water on the roadway. This effect is commonly called a mirage. Use the results of questions 1 and 2 and the principle of ray reversibility to analyze the diagram below. Assume that light leaving the top of the tree bends toward the horizontal until it just grazes ground level. After that, the ray bends upward eventually reaching the woman's eyes. The woman interprets this incoming light as if it came from an image of the tree. Determine the size, H', of the image. (Answer 8.8 m) please show all work step by steparrow_forward
