An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. at one position along its path it has a velocity of 34.3 m/s, it then flies a further distance of 40100 m and afterwards its velocity is 47.5 m/s. find the airplane\'s acceleration and calculate how much time elapses while the airplane covers those 40100 m.

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Need people build a dam to create a reservoir that supplies water a nearby city needs. describe two ways this action will likely affect the water cycle in the local environment. (5 points) worth 20 points
