<u>Answer</u>

To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use<em>. </em>


<u>Explanation</u>

A vernier caliper is an instrument that is used to measure the diameter of small circular objects such as diameter of a wires, thickness of an iron sheet.

The objects to be measured is place between the jaws of the calipers.

The vernier scale has two scales, the vernier scale and the main scale which is the very top scale.<em> To know where it starts we look where the zero mark of the vernier scale starts. The make just before reaching where the zero mark is marks the value to use. </em>

Which describes a train’s acceleration if it changes speed from 25 m/s to 10 m/s in 240 s? positive acceleration no acceleration
OLEGan [10]

To understand acceleration, you need to know speed and velocity.

Why?

Acceleration is the change in velocity, and the velocity equation is:

velocity = distance / time     Units: (m/s)

If a change in position means an object has a velocity, then that means that a change in velocity has an acceleration (I recommend you look at the graphs, it will help a lot to understand the relationship between each).

Now that we have some background, lets use it to answer the problem!

The change in velocity is from 25 m/s to 10 m/s, and we have a time. Lets plug it into the (average) acceleration equation so we can visualize it better!

The symbol delta means "change" : Δ

a = Δv / Δt

expanded to:

a = vf - vi / tf - ti  

(vf = velocity final, vi = velocity initial, tf = time final, ti = time initial)

So if the train's speed went from 25 m/s to 10 m/s, then that means that 10 m/s is our final velocity and 25 m/s is the initial:

a = 10 - 25 / 240

a = -15 / 240

a = -0.0625 m/s^2

Since we ended up with a negative number, it means that the train has a negative acceleration!!!!!

The fast way to do this:

25 m/s is bigger than 10 m/s, so that means that to go from 25 m/s to 10 m/s you have to slow down--otherwise known as putting on your brakes. So if the change in speed is negative then the acceleration will be negative.

In other words, if your final speed is less than your initial speed then your acceleration would be negative.

Sorry for the long explanation! I hope you never struggle with this again though!

Hope it helped,

How were the fossil symbols and mountain bets helpful in deciding where to move the continenets
Alborosie
<span>Similar fossils found on different continents helped geologists determine how the continents used to be connected. Mountain belts marked the boundaries of moving plates, which showed in which direction the different continents drifted. Extrapolating from this information, scientists had a rough idea of how the continents were arranged eons ago.</span>

Answer:

A. It makes astronauts weightless.

Explanation:

Gravity does not make astronauts feel weightless. Astronauts are weightless because they are orbiting at the same rate as their shuttle.

Although the force of gravity weakens as one moves away from the earth surface, it does not mean that this force is absent in orbit

  • Gravitational force has a constant acceleration value near the earth surface which is commonly known to be 9.8m/s².
  • It is a force of attraction tending to hold and bind bodies together so far they have mass.
  • This force keeps every thing from escaping space-ward from the earth surface.
