Answer:

6.7 m/s^2

Explanation:

The formula of acceleration is:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v_2 - v_1}{t_2-t_1}}

where \displaystyle{\vec{a}} is acceleration, \displaystyle{\vec{v}} is velocity and \displaystyle{t} is time. \displaystyle{v_2} means final velocity. \displaystyle{v_1} means initial velocity, \displaystyle{t_2} means final time and \displaystyle{t_1} means initial time.

We are given that the Firebird travels at velocity of 0 to 60 mph in four seconds. Therefore:

  • Our initial velocity starts at 0 mph.
  • Our final velocity is at 60 mph.
  • Our initial time is 0 second.
  • Our final time is 4 seconds.

Since it travels to the east then our vector will be positive. However, acceleration has to be in m/s^2 unit (Sl unit) so we'll have to convert from mph (miles per hours) to m/s (meters per second) first.

We know that:

  • A mile equals to 1609.344 meters.
  • An hour equals to 60 minutes which a minute equals to 60 seconds. So 60 minutes will equal to 3600 seconds.

Now we divide 1609.344 by 3600 to find a unit rate of m/s:

\displaystyle{\dfrac{1609.344}{3600} \ \, \sf{m/s}}\\\\\displaystyle{= 0.44704 \ \, \sf{m/s}}

Now multiply 0.44704 m/s by 0 and 60 to get velocity in m/s unit:

  • Initial velocity = 0 m/s
  • Final velocity = 60 * 0.44704 = 26.82 m/s

Time is already in second so no need for conversion. Substitute known information in the formula:

\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82-0}{4-0}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = \dfrac{26.82}{4}}\\\\\displaystyle{\vec{a} = 6.7 \ \, \sf{m/s^2}}

Therefore, the Firebird will accelerate at the rate of 6.7 m/s^2.

aalyn [17]

Answer:Technician A

Explanation:

Technician A statement is correct as  

The battery is required to start the vehicle which, in effect, rotates the alternator at sufficient speed to keep the battery charged. This means if the battery is low it is not possible to start the vehicle and thus we are unable to test the alternator.  

That is the battery is pre-requisite to test the alternator. So the battery must be at least a 75 % charge to test the alternator.

Energy stored in the gravitational field of interacting bodies is
mezya [45]

Answer : <u><em>Gravitational potential energy</em></u>

Explanation :

Gravitational potential is defined as the work done in moving an object from a fixed reference location to the location of object.  This arises from the law of gravity and it acts against the gravity.

Mathematically, it is defined as potential energy (U) per unit mass (m).

i.e. V=\dfrac{U}{m}

The general form of Gravitational energy is

V=\dfrac{-GMm}{r}

where, G is gravitational constant

M and m are masses of interacting bodies

and r is the distance between them.

Negative sign shows here that the system is bound.
