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.

What is a convex lens?​
Leona [35]

<em>The convex lens is a lens that converges rays of light that convey parallel to its principal axis (i.e. converges the incident rays towards the principal axis) which is relatively thick across the middle and thin at the lower and upper edges. The edges are curved outward rather than inward.</em>

Why do hot stars look bluer than cool stars?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

Explanation:

As we know that

According to Wien's law wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature .

  λ.T = Constant.

λ.∝ 1 /T

As we know that star radiates wavelength and this wavelength is inverse proportional to the temperature of the star.

The temperature of cool star is cooler than the temperature of hot star that is cool star looks red and hot star looks blue.Cool star have low energy and hot star have high energy.

So option B is correct.

(B) The wavelength that a star radiates the most energy is inversely proportional to the temperature.

3. When a person is outside of the system and they add energy to the
NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
