The vehicle accelerates at 2.648 m/s².

We have:

Initial velocity, u = 50 miles per hour = 22.352 m/s

final velocity, v = 80 miles per hour = 35.762 m/s

Time, t = 5 seconds

The time in hours is:

t = 5 seconds

Now, the acceleration of the car can be calculated using the formula:

v = u + at

35.762 = 22.352 + a(5)

a(5) = 30

a = 2.682 m/s²

From the calculations above, the acceleration of the car is 2.682 m/s².

ou slide a slab of dielectric between the plates of a parallel-plate capacitor. As you do this, the charges on the plates remain

Sav [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy stored in a capacitor is given by the expression

E = Q² / 2C , where Q is charge on it and C is its capacitance . As we put dielectric slab between the plates , capacitance increases , Due to it energy decreases as capacitance form the denominator in the formula above and Q is constant .

Hence energy decreases.

An underwater diver sees the sun 57 ∘ above horizontal. how high is the sun above the horizon to a fisherman in a boat above the

nydimaria [60]

Angle at which under water diver sees the sun from horizontal = $57^{0}$

Angle from normal direction = 90 - 57 = $33^{0}$

Refractive index of water = 1.33

Refractive index of water = 1

We have the equation

1.33 * sin $33^{0}$ = 1 *sin $\alpha$

$\alpha$ = $sin ^{-1} (\frac{1.33sin33}{1} )= 46.42^0$

This angle is angle from normal, so angle seen by fisherman from horizontal = 90 - 46.42 = $43.58^{0}$
