Answer:

Burning match represents exothermic reaction.

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction:These are the reaction which releases energy into the surroundings.

Endothermic reaction:These are the reaction which absorbs energy from the surroundings.

Burning of the match stick is an Exothermic reaction.This is because amount of energy required to burn the match is very less than of the energy given out by the match on burning.

Input Energy < Output Energy

If the car’s speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h in 3.0 s, what is the magnitude of its acceleration, ass

mixas84 [53]

Answer: $3.874 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

Car speed decreases at a constant rate from 64 mi/h to 30 mi/h

in 3 sec

$60mi/h \approx 26.8224m/s$

$34mi/h \approx 15.1994 m/s$

we know acceleration is given by $=\frac{velocity}{Time}$

$a=\frac{15.1994-26.8224}{3}$

$a=-3.874 m/s^2$

negative indicates that it is stopping the car

Distance traveled

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$\left ( 15.1994\right )^2-\left ( 26.8224\right )^2=2\left ( -3.874\right )s$

$s=\frac{488.419}{2\times 3.874}$

s=63.038 m

Answer:This also means that Mercury's surface gravity is 3.7 m/s2, which is the equivalent of 38% of Earth's gravity (0.38 g). This means that if you weighed 100 kg (220 lbs) on Earth, you would weigh 38 kg (84 lbs) on Mercury.
