A skier has an acceleration of 2.5 m/s2. How long does it take her to come to a complete stop from a speed of 18 m/s?

A = 2.5 m/s²

since , we have to stop so v = 0 m/s ( final velocity)

u = 18 m/s

t = ?

using ,

⇒ v = u + at

⇒ 0 = 18 + 2.5t

by this we are getting t<0 , since , t cant be -ve , Check your question

Predict whether the changes in enthalpy, entropy, and free energy will be positive or negative for the melting of ice, and expla

BlackZzzverrR [31]

<span>Melting of ice is an endothermic process, meaning that energy is absorbed. When ice spontaneously melts, ΔH (change in enthalpy) is "positive". ΔS (entropy change) is also positive, because, becoming a liquid, water molecules lose their fixed position in the ice crystal, and become more disorganized. ΔG (free energy of reaction) is negative when a reaction proceeds spontaneously, as it happens in this case. Ice spontaneously melts at temperatures higher than 0°C. However, liquid water also spontaneously freezes at temperatures below 0°C. Therefore the temperature is instrumental in determining which "melting" of ice, or "freezing" of water becomes spontaneous. The whole process is summarized in the Gibbs free energy equation:
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS</span>

Mariulka [41]

Earthquake S - Waves are examples of transverse waves. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Other good examples of transverse waves are an oscillating string and light waves. A wave is a kind of disturbance that or an oscillation that travels through space.

A certain spring stretches 3 cm when a load of 15 n is suspended from it. how much will the spring stretch if 30 n is suspended

Alik [6]

Initially, the spring stretches by 3 cm under a force of 15 N. From these data, we can find the value of the spring constant, given by Hook's law:
$k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}$
where F is the force applied, and $\Delta x$ is the stretch of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position. Using the data, we find
$k= \frac{15 N}{3.0 cm}=5.0 N/cm$

Now a force of 30 N is applied to the same spring, with constant k=5.0 N/cm. Using again Hook's law, we can find the new stretch of the spring:
$\Delta x = \frac{F}{k}= \frac{30 N}{5.0 N/cm}=6 cm$
