When the velocity increases, then the acceleration will be positive and when the velocity decrease then the acceleration will be negative.

During the first hour, the velocity was 70 mph and during the seconds hour the velocity was 60 mph. Hence, the velocity decrease in the seconds hour. So, the acceleration will be negative during the second hour.

Now, during the third hour the velocity increases as it is 80 mph. Hence, the acceleration will be positive during the third hour.

<u>Answer:</u>

  Positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Velocity of car in first hour =  70 mph

  Velocity of car in second hour = 60 mph

  Velocity of car in third hour = 80 mph

   Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time

   Acceleration in second hour = (60 - 70)/1 = -10 mph²

   Acceleration in third hour = (80 - 60)/1 = 20 mph²

   So positive acceleration is in third hour and negative acceleration is in second hour.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive technique used to stimulate regions of the human brain. A small coil is
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

0.125 volts

Explanation:

The induced emf can be sufficient to stimulate neuronal activity.

One such device generates a magnetic field within the brain that rises from zero to 1.5 T in 120 ms.

We need to find the induced emf within a circle of tissue of radius 1.6 mm and that is perpendicular to the direction of the field. The formula for the induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Where

\phi is magnetic flux

So,

\epsilon=-\dfrac{d(BA)}{dt}\\\\=2\pi r\times \dfrac{dB}{dt}\\\\=2\pi \times 1.6\times 10^{-3}\times \dfrac{1.5-0}{120\times 10^{-3}}\\\\=0.125\ V

So, the induced emf is equal to 0.125 volts.

A wave travels at a frequency of 387 Hz. What is<br>the period of the wave?<br>​
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

¹/₃₈₇ second

Explanation:

<em>The period of a wave is the reciprocal of its frequency.</em>

So, simply, the frequency is ¹/₃₈₇ second(s), as that is the reciprocal of the frequency, 387 Hz.

Things you can do with an environmental engineering major and a broadcasting minor?
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

With an  Environmental  Engineering  and a broadcasting minor

You can work as an On Air  personality that host  programs that provide your audience with  documentaries about the environments and project carried out by Environmental Engineer

and also you can work as a journalist that explore the world making research that will preserve the environment  and leveraging the media as a broadcaster to provide this research findings as a video for you audience  

Explanation:

In order to get a better understanding let define some terms

Environmental Engineer :

Environmental engineers resolve and help prevent environmental problems. They work in many areas, including air pollution control, industrial hygiene, toxic materials control, and land management. The duties of an environmental engineer range from planning and designing an effective waste treatment plant to studying the effects of acid rain on a particular area. An environmental engineer is sometimes required to work outdoors, though most of her work is done in a laboratory or office setting. Career opportunities for environmental engineers exist in consulting, research, corporate, and government positions.

Broadcasting:

Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model.

Photovoltaic cells: a) have become more economical to produce and use over the past 25 years. b) are the most efficient means of
Yanka [14]

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity. Option b is correct.

<h3>What is a cell?</h3>

A cell is a voltage and current-producing device that consists of a single anode and cathode separated by an electrolyte.

One or more cells can make up a battery. One cell, for example, is one AA battery.

Light intensity on a solar cell is often measured in "suns," with one sun roughly equivalent to 1 kW/m².

Concentrated sunlight improves the ratio of current generated while the device is lighted vs when it is dark, hence enhancing output voltage and efficiency.

Photovoltaic cells are the most efficient means of converting solar energy to electricity.

Hence, option b is correct.

To learn more about the cell refer to:
