Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (later speed) - (earlier speed) = (13 - 24) = -11 km/hr
Time for the change = 2 seconds

Acceleration = (-11 km/hr) / (2 sec)

Acceleration = -5.5 km/hr-sec  (B)

Why is friction like applied force but different from gravity?
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Friction is when a force is applied or done by weight dragging onto something.

Explanation:

Gravity is when an object is getting pulled toward the center of what is attracting it. And applied force is when someone/sommething is applying force.

A star is in hydrostatic equilibrium when the outward push of pressure due to core burning is exactly in balance with the inward
viktelen [127]

Answer:

a and b

Explanation:

Hydro static equilibrium holds a star steady and balanced. Whenever a star stops burning hydrogen in its center, there must be evolutionary improvements to maintain equilibrium for the star Of example, if a star's internal pressure and temperature fall, gravity will take over and force the star to contract and heat up, restoring stability. By contrast, if a star's internal pressure and temperature rises, the extra pressure causes the star to widen and cool, restoring balance.

so, according to above explanation options a and b both are true

a) A small increase in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to expand and cool.

b) A small decrease in the star's internal pressure and temperature causes the star's outer layers to contract and heat up.

honor physics The velocity of a 200 kg object is changed from 5 m/s to 25 m/s in 50 seconds by an applied constant force. a. Wha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) 4000 kgm/s.

(b) 80 N

Explanation:

(a) Change in momentum: This can be defined as the product of the mass of a body and its change in velocity. The S.I unit of impulse is Ns or kgm/s

Mathematically, Change in momentum is expressed as

ΔM = mΔv ..................................... Equation 1

Where ΔM = change in momentum, m = mass of the object, Δv = change in velocity = v₂ - v₁

Given: m = 200 kg, Δv = v₂ - v₁ = 25-5 = 20 m/s.

Substituting into equation 1

ΔM = 200(20)

ΔM = 4000 kgm/s.

Hence the change in momentum = 4000 kgm/s

(b)

Force: This can be defined as the ratio of the change in momentum of a body to the time required for the change.

F = ΔM/t.............................. Equation 2

Where F = force, ΔM = change in momentum, t = time.

Given: ΔM  = 4000 kgm/s, t = 50 second.

Substituting into equation 2

F = 4000/50

F = 80 N.

Hence the force  = 80 N
