The equation to be used is for the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
a = (v-v₀)/t
where
x is distance
v and v₀ is the final and initial velocity
t is time
a is acceleration

Because the acceleration is decelerating, that would be reported as -7.5 m/s². Substituting,

-7.5 = (0 - v₀)/t
v₀ = 7.5 t --> eqn 1

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
60 = (7.5t)(t) + 0.5(-7.5)(t²)
Solving for t,
t = 4s

Thus,
v₀ = 7.5 m/s² * 4s
v₀ = 30 m/s

(100 pts)<br>Why can't you use distance divide by time to calculate the instantaneous<br>speed?​
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Instantaneous speed means speed at any instant

that means Speed is changing with time

You know speed is distance/time

So that means distance is also changing with time

So we take infinitesimal small distance per infinitesimal small time As we assume speed is constant in infinitesimal small time dt

So, we take speed = ds/dt

ds = infinitesimal small distance

dt = infinitesimal small time

As its ratio is equal to speed at any instant

Note : We are taking infinitesimal small distance

But :) we are taking infinitesimal small time also

As you know if denominator is small fraction is large So fraction always give large value

So it's not O ( this makes confuse to most of students)

So, thanks

Good question

Keep thinking like this :)

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. it suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
Sphinxa [80]

M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg

m = mass of the seal = 200 kg

V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s

v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?

Using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = (M + m) V'

inserting the above values in the equation

(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'

6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'

V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)

V' = 5 m/s

To make 2 molecules of water, you need 2 molecules of hydrogen plus 1 molecule of oxygen. If I have unlimited amounts of oxygen
Semenov [28]
Hey there,

So first we need to know how much molecules are there in 4 grams of hydrogen right?
In one gram of hydrogen there are 6.0221415 multiplied by 10^25 molecules right?(this number is known as avagadors constant )

And to make one molecule of water u need two molecules of hydrogen and one of oxygen.
And oxygen is unlimited right?

So when we have 6.0221415 grams of hydrogen tow if these are required to make one water.
So divide that by two and you get 3.0110704 multiplied by 10^25.
So the answer is you can make the above number of water molecules.

Hope this helps!!!
