The average acceleration of the particle in the time interval of 9.8 s is 10.204 m/s² opposite to the direction of motion.

Given:

Speed of particle, v₁ = 80 m/s (in positive x-direction)

Speed of particle, v₂ = -20 m/s (in opposite direction)

Time interval, Δt = 9.8 s

Calculation:

We know that, the average acceleration is given as:

a_avg = (v₂ - v₁)/ Δt     - ( 1 )

Applying values in above equation we get:

a_avg = (v₂ - v₁)/ Δt

           = (-20 m/s - 80 m/s) / (9.8 s)

           = -10.204 m/s²

Therefore the average acceleration of the particle in the time interval Δt is 10.204 m/s² opposite to the direction of motion.

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

So height will be 47.387 m

Explanation:

We have given gauge pressure P=4.63\times 10^5N/m^2

Density of water \rho =997kg/m^3

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that pressure is given as P=\rho gh

4.63\times 10^5=997\times 9.8\times h

h=47.387m

So height will be 47.387 m

Which describes how to generate a real image of an object using a concave mirror?
Naddika [18.5K]

A concave mirror is curved inward in the middle, more like a cave. Because the mirror is curved inward, the angle of the light surface can be focused similar to that of the camera. They can form real images that are projected out in front of the mirror at the place where light focuses. When the object is located at the center of the curvature the image formed will also be at the curvature. The image will be inverted and the magnification value is equal to 1 which will become a real image because the ray of light converges at the location of the formed image.
