The car is initially traveling north at 17.7 m/s, and after 12 s, its velocity is 14.1 m/s, still due north. This means that the direction of the car has not changed, so we can already say that the direction of the acceleration is north (if the magnitude of the acceleration is positive) or south (if the magnitude of the acceleration is negative).

To find the magnitude of the average acceleration, we must calculate the ratio between the change in velocity and the time taken:

a=\frac{v_f -v_i}{t}=\frac{14.1 m/s-17.7 m/s}{12 s}=-0.3 m/s^2

Since the acceleration is negative, it means it is in the opposite direction to the motion of the car, therefore south. Therefore, the correct answer is

b) 0.30 m/s2, south

At a constant volume and number of moles of the gas the ratio of T and P is equal to some constant. At another set of condition, the constant is still the same. Calculations are as follows:

T1/P1 = T2/P2

P2 = T2 x P1 / T1

P2 = 473.15 x 1.00 / 293.15

<span>P2 = 1.61 atm</span>

Answer:

Monochronic.

Explanation:

This view is called as Monochronic.

The dictionary definition of Mono-chronic is that  Monochronic people just like to do one thing at a time. They respect a certain uniformity and sense of being a suitable place and time for different activities. They don't esteem interruptions. It has been generally observe that their focus and productivity remains higher than the polychronic.( Those we are comfortable with performing multiple task at a time)
