C. If a car has a westward acceleration, the car moving east and slowing down.

<h3>What is westward acceleration?</h3>

Westward acceleration is the acceleration of an object directed towards the west of the object's motion.

The acceleration of an object is defined as the change in the velocity of an object with time.

Mathematically, the acceleration of an object is given as;

a = Δv/Δt

where;

  • Δv is change in velocity of the object
  • Δt is change in time of motion of the object

a = (v - u) /t

where;

  • v is the final velocity
  • u is the initial velocity

When the car is slowing down, it implies that the final velocity is smaller compared to the initial velocity.

The heating curve of an ice-water mixture that is slowly heated to 125°C contains three sloped and two level portions. What do t
marin [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi there,

To get started, please recall what heating curves are, latent heat, and enthalpy of phase changes (vaporization, fusion).

In a heating curve for ice water, temperature is the dependent variable (y-axis) and heat or time elapsed is independent variable (x-axis). There are three sloped portions. These sloped portions are showing where the <u>mixture is not changing phase, and is in a specific phase.</u> (solid first, then liquid then gas).

The reason is because the addition of more heat in time is causing the temperature to rise, so the mixture is getting "hotter." The temperature is still rising, yet the mixture is still in the current phase (depending on where you are referencing on the curve).

The two leveled portions are the process of melting (first leveled) and boiling (second leveled). The reason they are horizontal is because the addition of heat is not causing temperature to go up. The molecules are in the process of distributing heat in a different form by changing the mixtures entire structure (AKA phase), and so they are flat because the average kinetic energy from heat is being used change phase.

What is the source of geothermal energy? User: What is the source of geothermal energy?
bazaltina [42]

The answer is; C

In particular points in the earth’s surface, underground water is naturally heated to steam that can be harness for geothermal energy. The steam that ejects from the ground with high kinetic energy can be used to turn turbines that generate electricity. The underground water is usually heated by the hot rocks beneath that are subjected to the immense heat of magma or the enormous pressure of overlying crust.

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.

One of two nonconducting spherical shells of radius a carries a charge Q uniformly distributed over its surface, the other carri
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

A ) The spheres are non conducting , charge will not move on the surface so neutralization of charge by + ve and - ve charge is not possible. Charges will remain intact on them . The electric field inside them will be zero . Electric field outside shell  will not be spherically symmetrical . Lines of force will emanate from the surface of positively charged shell  outwardly oriented  and end at negatively charged shell .

B )

distance between the centres of spherical shell

= 2 a

potential energy of charges

= k q₁ x q₂ / R

= k x - Q x Q / ( 2a )

= - k Q²/ 2a

So work needed to separate them to infinity will be equal to

= k Q²/ 2a
