The average acceleration in the first 10 seconds of the journey is 2 m/s²; option B.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time.

<h3>Acceleration = change in velocity/time</h3>

From the graph;

Acceleration in first seconds = 20 - 0/5 = 4 m/s²

Acceleration in second 5 seconds = 0

Average acceleration = 4 + 0/2

Average acceleration = 2 m/s²

In conclusion, average acceleration is the average of the final and initial acceleration.

Discuss how a photon (aka the light particle) can be affected by gravity despite being massless.

Over [174]

Explanation:

Light is clearly affected by gravity, just think about a black hole, but light supposedly has no mass and gravity only affects objects with mass. On the other hand, if light does have mass then doesn't mass become infinitely larger the closer to the speed of light an object travels.

Reflecting telescopes are popular because they're

musickatia [10]

<span>The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does. <span>

Explain how waves, energy, and matter are related

Stels [109]

Answer:

Mechanical waves need matter to transfer energy while electromagnetic waves do not. ... Waves change direction when they move from one material into another (matter) through the process of refraction. The wave will change direction when the speed of the wave changes.

A man does 4,475 J of work in the process of pushing his 2.50 103 kg truck from rest to a speed of v, over a distance of 26.0 m.

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a) 1.89 m/s b) 172.1 N

Explanation:

Applying the work-energy theorem, if we can neglect the friction between truck and road, the total change in kinetic energy must be equal to the work done by the external forces.
This work, is just 4,475 J.
So we can write the following equation:

$\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2} = 4,475 J$
