Considering that while traveling on a road with a<u> final speed of 15 m/s</u>, and an<u> initial speed of 24 m/s</u>, with a given time <u>of 12 seconds.</u>

To calculate the acceleration, we apply the following formula:

α = Vf - Vo/t

We add our data into the formula and solve:

α = 15 m/s - 24 m/s/12 sec

α = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of the car is -0.75 m/s².

Answer:

Solar Flares and Prominences

Explanation:

    The sun is source of light and heat energy and it supports life on earth because sun is the primary source of energy. But sun is also a star and is a glowing ball of hot gases mostly hydrogen and helium. There are so many activity that takes place on surface of sun. But the two activity solar flare and prominences affect the radio communication.

Solar Flare  are electromagnetic energy built up in the sun atmosphere .These energy travel with the speed of light and affect outer atmosphere of earth. These increased level of X rays and ultraviolet rays ions the layer of ionosphere which becomes superionised. thus causing destructive interference.

The radio waves travel in ionosphere and  frequently collide with electron lose energy and completely blackout.

Prominence is defined as gaseous cloud of calcium,hydrogen and other gases floating above sun chromosphere and emit violently particularly near sunspots sometimes travel through space and affect radio communication.

Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

11 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are two forces acting on the car:

Weigh force mg pulling down

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the incline

Sum the forces in the +y direction:

∑F = ma

N cos θ − mg = 0

N = mg / cos θ

Sum the forces in the radial (+x) direction:

∑F = ma

N sin θ = m v² / r

Substitute and solve for v:

(mg / cos θ) sin θ = m v² / r

g tan θ = v² / r

v = √(gr tan θ)

Plug in values:

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 48 m × tan 15°)

v = 11.2 m/s

Rounded to 2 significant figures, the maximum speed is 11 m/s.

If a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k show that a) a x b = -5i - 18j - 29k b) b X a = 50 + 18j +29k​
loris [4]

Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:

i × i = j × j = k × k = 0

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j

and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)

Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have

a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)

a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)

… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)

… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)

a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)

a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i

a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k
