Answer:

drag

Explanation:

drag is the force that acts against any moving object.

if it takes him any amount of time to get from one speed to another, it is caused by drag.

an object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object $v_i$ = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object $v_f$ = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration $a$ is given by:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

where $v_f$ represents final velocity, $v_i$ represents initial velocity and $t$ is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

$a=\frac{50-200}{5}$

$a=\frac{-150}{5}$

$a=-30\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$ (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x

romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

$v(x)=y'(x)$

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

$a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)$

We are given the function for y

$y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2$

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

$v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x$

And the acceleration is $a(x)=v'(x)=12.8$

Engineers tasked with building a car bumper need high-quality plastic that is readily available. They found the material polycar

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The material must be durable (quality of the material requirement)

Explanation:

The design criteria set for the materials used for technological design are;

1) The materials should be affordable (less costly)

2) The materials should be last for a long duration (high durability)

3) The material should be readily available (easily sourced)

Therefore, given that the engineers initially had the criteria for the required plastic to be of high quality and to be readily available, and that the poly-carbonate they found is long lasting and not too costly, the criteria met that was set initially was the quality criteria of durability.
