1.)
Velocity is in m/s, and acceleration is in m/s^2 like you said. Because of this, we can calculate this by dividing the speed by the time it took to get to that speed.
(20 meters/second) / 10 seconds = 2 meters/ second^2

2.)
Same thing with the first one.
(100 meters/second) / 4 seconds = 25 meters / seconds^2

Answer:

Part a)

a = 2 m/s/s

Part b)

a = - 25 m/s/s

Explanation:

As we know that the average acceleration id defined as the rate of change in the velocity of the object

so here it is given by formula

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

now we know that

v_f = 20 m/s

v_i = 0

\Delta t = 10 s

now we have

a = \frac{20 - 0}{10} = 2 m/s^2

Part b)

here car is travelling with speed 100 m/s

now driver slams brakes and car finally stop in t = 4 s

so the average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

now we know that

v_f = 0 m/s

v_i = 100

\Delta t = 4 s

now we have

a = \frac{0 - 100}{4} = -25 m/s^2

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. What can you do to fix this?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The images output from your new color laser printer seem to be a little too blue. to fix this problem we need to calibrate the printer.

Explanation:

This can be done by opening the toolbox, clicking in the device setting folder their you get print quality page click on it. Under the print quality option click on the calibrate next to calibrate now. Then click OK unless when the 'your request has been sent to the device' appears on the screen. When the calibration ends again try printing. calibrating is useful for managing the proper alignment of the inkjet cartridge nozzle to the paper and each other, without proper calibration the print quality deteriorates.

Your friend, Tim, is playing with his sled. He ties a rope to his sled and attaches it to Lar's snowmobile. Tim has a mass of 71
kykrilka [37]

The maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the rope, m = 71 kg
  • Tension on the rope, T = 220 N
  • Coefficient of kinetic friction, = 0.1
  • Time of motion, t = 8 s

<h3>What is Newton's second law of motion?</h3>
  • Newton's second law of motion states that, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the object.

The net force on Tim is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

T - \mu _k F_n = ma\\\\T - \mu _k F_n = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\T - \mu_k mg = m\frac{v}{t} \\\\t(\frac{T - \mu_k mg}{m} )= v\\\\8 (\frac{220 \ -\  0.1 \times 71 \times 9.8}{71} ) =v \\\\ 16.95 \ m/s = v

Thus, the maximum speed of Tim is 16.95 m/s.
