Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:

 x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a          (EQUATION 1)

vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a             (EQUATION 2)

Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2

Which kinds of objects emit visible light in the electromagnetic spectrum?
Triss [41]

Answer : Relatively hot objects

Explanation : We know that, the temperature of the objects is inversely proportional to their wavelengths. The objects emitting radiation in the visible region have short wavelength and hence are relatively hotter.

We know the range of wavelength of the visible spectrum is from 400 nm to 780 nm.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) orbits 569 km above Earth’s surface. Given that Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg and its radius i
Sergio039 [100]
<span>We can use an equation to find the gravitational force exerted on the HST. F = GMm / r^2 G is the gravitational constant M is the mass of the Earth m is the mass of the HST r is the distance to the center of the Earth This force F provides the centripetal force for the HST to move in a circle. The equation we use for circular motion is: F = mv^2 / r m is the mass of the HST v is the tangential speed r is the distance to the center of the Earth Now we can equate these two equations to find v. mv^2 / r = GMm / r^2 v^2 = GM / r v = sqrt{GM / r } v = sqrt{(6.67 x 10^{-11})(5.97 x 10^{24}) / 6,949,000 m} v = 7570 m/s which is equal to 7.570 km/s HST's tangential speed is 7570 m/s or 7.570 km/s</span>

You are driving in a car for 30 minutes, with the windows down and the radio at a high volume. You turn the car off and leave th
matrenka [14]

Answer:

sensory adaption

Explanation:

Sensory adaption is the phenomenon where the intensity of a stimulus experienced by an organism decreases after a certain amount of exposure to the stimulus. This happens in order for us to pay attention to other stimulus.

When you are driving with the windows down and listening to music you are subjected to a lot of stimuli. Here, most of our attention needs to be on driving. So, our brain drowns all the other unneccessary stimuli like the music.

When you enter the car again where the other stimuli which were present while driving are absent, all your attention is diverted to the music. So, your're ears hurt.

A 5.0 kg box is sliding across a waxed floor by the application of a 15 N east force. If the force of friction is 2.5 N west, wh
coldgirl [10]

1) 12.5 N east

There are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- The applied force of 15 N east, we indicate it with F

- The force of friction of 2.5 N west, we indicate it with F_f

Taking east as positive direction, we can write the two forces has

F=+15 N\\F_f = -2.5 N

Therefore, the net force on the box will be:

F_{net} = F + F_f = 15 + (-2.5) = +12.5 N

And the positive sign means the direction is east.

2) 2.5 m/s^2

We can solve this part by using Newton's second law:

F_{net}=ma

where

F_{net} is the net force on the box

m is its mass

a is the acceleration

For the box in this problem,

F_{net} = 12.5 m/s^2 (east)

m = 5.0 kg

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{12.5}{5.0}=2.5 m/s^2

And the direction is the same as the net force (east)
