Answer:

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

Explanation:

Hi there!

The average acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over time:

a = Δv/t

Where:

a = acceleration.

Δv = change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

t = elapsed time

The change in velocity will be:

Δv = final velocity - initial velocity

Δv = -74 m/s - 87 m/s = -161 m/s

(notice the negative sign of the velocity that is in opposite direction to the direction considered positive)

Then the average acceleration will be:

a = Δv/t

a = -161 m/s / 6.0 s

a = -27 m/s²

The average acceleration during the 6.0 s interval was -27 m/s².

A light wave encounters a partial physical barrier, such as a wall with a hole in it. What is MOST LIKELY to occur?
tatiyna
Most likely, the light wave will be absorbed by the wall. Without any information as to the size and color of the wall, the location and size of the hole, or the location of the light wave, this is a generalized probability problem. For all of the places the light could be, it's more likely that it hits the wall than the hole (if the hole is less than 50% of the area of the wall).
