Use the equation:
v = u + at
because it has all the variables given and need to find. First you must make sure units are the same. Acceleration is given in m/s^2. Check to make sure this is correct before using the following solution. Convert acceleration from meters per second squared to miles per hour squared.

look up conversion meters to miles
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
10.60 m/s^2 * 1mile/1609.34m = 0.0069 mi/s^2
there are 3600 seconds in an hour, then there are 3600s*3600s in 1 hr^2
0.0069 mi/s^2 * 3600s*3600s/hr^2 = 85362 mi/hr^2

Then using: v = u +at
60 = 55 + 85362t
60 - 55 = 85362t
5 = 85362t
5/85362 = t
5.9 x 10^-5 hr = t
very small value in hours, multiply by 3600 to convert to seconds.

5.9 x 10^-5 hr * 3600s/hr = 0.21 seconds

An object is thrown vertically up and attains an upward velocity of 9.6 m/s when it reaches one fourth of its maximum height abo
ki77a [65]

Answer:

11.09 m/s

Explanation:

Given that an object is thrown vertically up and attains an upward velocity of 9.6 m/s when it reaches one fourth of its maximum height above its launch point.

The parameters given are:

Initial velocity U = ?

Final velocity V = 9.6 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8m/s^2

Let first assume that the object is thrown from rest with the velocity U, at maximum height V = 0

Using third equation of motion

V^2 = U^2 - 2gH

0 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8H

U^2 = 19.6H ........ (1)

Using the formula again for one fourth of its maximum height

9.6^2 = U^2 - 2 × 9.8 × H/4

92.16 = U^2 - 19.6/4H

92.16 = U^2 - 4.9H

U^2 = 92.16 + 4.9H ...... (2)

Substitute U^2 in equation (1) into equation (2)

19.6H = 92.16 + 4.9H

Collect the like terms

19.6H - 4.9H = 92.16

14.7H = 92.16

H = 92.16/14.7

H = 6.269

Substitute H into equation 2

U^2 = 92.16 + 4.9( 6.269)

U^2 = 92.16 + 30.72

U^2 = 122.88

U = 11.09 m/s

Therefore, the initial velocity of the object is 11.09 m/s

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km

Calculate [H3O+<br><br>] of a 0.150 M acetic acid solution.​
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

[H3O+] = 0.00520 M

Explanation:

The dissociation of acetic acid in water is given by the equation;

CH3COOH + H2O<-------> H3O+ + CH3COO-  

ka =  [H+][C2H3O2-]/[HC2H3O2]

Ka = 1.8 x 10^-5

      = x^2 / 0.150-x  

x = [H3O+]= 0.00520 M

Help me please
agasfer [191]

Answer:

For a velocity versus time graph how do you know what the velocity is at a certain  time?

Ans: By drawing a line parallel to the y axis (Velocity axis) and perpendicular to the co-ordinate of the Time on the x axis (Time Axis). The point on the slope of the graph where this line intersects, will be the desired velocity at the certain time.

_____________________________________________________

How do you know the acceleration at a certain time?

Ans: We\ know\ that\ acceleration = \frac{Final\ velocity-Initial\ Velocity}{Time\ taken}

Hence,

By dividing the difference of the Final and Initial Velocity by the Time Taken, we could find the acceleration.

_________________________________________________________

How do you know the  Displacement at a certain time?

Ans: As Displacement equals to the area enclosed by the slope of the Velocity-Time Graph, By finding the area under the slope till the perpendicular at the desired time, we find the Displacement.
