The average acceleration of the car in this process is -2 m/s²

<h3>What is Acceleration ?</h3>

Acceleration can be defined as change in velocity per time taken. It is a vector quantity. That is, it has both the magnitude and direction. It is measured in m/s²

Given that a velocity of a car decreases from 28m/s to 20m/s in a time of 4 seconds. Then,

  • Initial velocity u = 28 m/s
  • Final velocity v = 20 m/s
  • Time t = 4 s
  • Acceleration a = ?

From the definition of acceleration,

a = Δv / t

a = ( 20 - 28 ) / 4

a = -8 / 4

a = - 2 m/s²

Therefore, the average acceleration of the car in this process is -2 m/s² which mean that the car is decelerating.

Which of the following types of energy is potential energy A. gravitational energy
katovenus [111]

There are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two categories: kinetic and potential. Kinetic energy is motion––of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects. Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position––gravitational energy

What tripositive ion has the electron configuration [kr] 4d3 ? what neutral atom has the electron configuration [kr] 5s 2 4d2 ?
tigry1 [53]

(a)

Electronic configuration is given as follows:

[Kr]4d^{3}

Since, this is the electronic configuration of ion with+3 that means 3 electrons are removed. On adding the 3 electrons, the electronic configuration of neutral atom can be obtained.

Thus, electronic configuration of neutral atom is [Kr]4d^{5}5s^{1}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+6=42.

This corresponds to element: molybdenum. Thus, the tripositive atom will be Mo^{3+}.

(b) The given electronic configuration is [Kr]5s^{2}4d^{2}.

The atomic number of Kr is 36, thus, total number of electrons become 36+4=40.

This corresponds to element zirconium, represented by symbol Zr.

Vector A has magnitude of 15.0 m/s and is 75° counter-clockwise up from the x-axis. What are the x- and y-components of the vect
LiRa [457]

Answer:

x component 3.88 y- component 14.488

Explanation:

We have given a vector A which has a magnitude of 15 m/sec which is at 75° counter-clock wise ( anti-clock wise) from x -axis which is clearly shown in bellow figure

Now x-component will be 15 cos75°=3.8822 ( as it makes an angle of 75° with x-axis )

y- component will be 15 sin 75°=14.488

For verification the resultant of x and y component should be equal to 15

So resultant =\sqrt{14.488^2+3.88^2}=15

The maximum energy a bone can absorb without breaking is surprisingly small. For a healthy human of mass 60 kg60 kg, experimenta
netineya [11]

Answer:

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from and land rigidly upright on both feet without breaking his legs is 0.34 m</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Mass of a healthy man = 60 kg

energy the bone can take without breaking = 200 J

If a healthy man jumps from a height 'h', he falls with an energy equal to the potential energy due to his initial height above the ground.

initial potential energy of the healthy man = mgh

where m = mass of the man

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s^2

h = the height above ground

==> PE = 60 x 9.81 x h = 588.6h

If we assume that all energy is absorbed in the leg bones in a rigid landing, then we can safely say that this calculated PE for a healthy man is equal to the energy his bone can absorb in the jump without breaking.

equating, we have

200 = 588.6h

<em>the maximum height a man can jump from without breaking his legs = 200/588.6 = 0.34 m</em>

When people jump from a height, the sudden deceleration to zero can impact a big force on the leg bones, shattering them. If the time spent in decelerating to zero is increased, the overall force on the leg bones is reduced greatly.

<em>Bending the knees gradually on landing from a jump from a height, and then rolling increases the time spent decelerating, and reduces the impact force on the legs due to the landing</em>. If you observe carefully you will see that this is what professional stunts men and acrobats do when they jump from a height.

kifflom [539]

Answer:

x_{distance}=10.07km

Explanation:

Given data

time=0.530 h

Average velocity Vavg=19.0 km/s

To find

Displacement Δx

Solution

The Formula for average velocity is given as

V_{avg}=(x_{distance} )/(t_{time} )\\ x_{distance}=V_{avg}*(t_{time} )\\x_{distance}=(19.0km/h)*(0.530h)\\x_{distance}=10.07km
