As she climbs a hill a cyclist slows down from 25 mi/hr to 6mi/hr in 10 seconds what is her acceleration

Physics
1 answer:
vesna_86 [32]2 years ago
8 0

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

Change in speed = (6 mi/hr - 25 mi/hr) = -19 mi/hr
Time for the change = 10 sec

|Acceleration| = (-19 mi/hr) / (10 sec) = -1.9 mile per hour per second

Admittedly, that's a rather weird unit.
Other units, perhaps more comfortable ones, are:

                 -6,840 mi/hr²

                   -2.79 feet/sec²

Why is polaris used as a celestial reference point?
ser-zykov [4K]

At the equator, the North Celestial and South Celestial Poles would lie on the horizon where the meridian intersects the horizon. Polaris is called the "North Star." ... Polaris is special because the Earth's North Pole points almost exactly towards it.

What is the definition of gravity in simple terms?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Gravity, also called gravitation, in mechanics, the universal force of attraction acting between all matter. ... On Earth all bodies have a weight, or downward force of gravity, proportional to their mass, which Earth's mass exerts on them. Gravity is measured by the acceleration that it gives to freely falling objects

1 : A force of attraction that tends to draw particles or bodies together.

2 : The attraction of bodies by the force of gravity toward the center of the earth.

3 : Great seriousness.

Two spectators at a soccer game see, and a moment later hear, the ball being kicked on the playing field. The time delay for the
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

a)188.65m

b)154.35m

c)243.7m

Explanation:

Given data:

t_A=0.55s

t_B=0.45s

(a) The distance from the kicker to each of the 2 spectators is given by:

d_A=v \times t_A

where,

v= speed of sound

t_A=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_A=343\times 0.55=188.65m

(b)d_B=v \times t_B

where,

v= speed of sound

t_B=time taken for the sound waves to reach the ears

d_B=343\times 0.45=154.35m

(c)As the angle b/w slight lines  from the two spectators to the player is right angle,

hypotenuse=the distance b/w 2 spectators

and, the slight lines are the other 2 lines

D^2=d_A^2+d_B^2\\D=\sqrt{188.65^2+154.35^2} \\D= 243.7m

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y
Rudik [331]

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

The road is in direct contact with your skin. Thermal energy from the road will transfer to the bottom of your feet, then to the rest of your body. This is an example of conduction.


II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Just like in the previous example, the hot leather is in direct contact with your skin (I guess if you're going to drive naked). Thermal energy from the leather will transfe to your skin, then to the rest of your body. This is also conduction.


III) A flame heats the air inside a hot air balloon and the balloon rises.

The flame heats air directly at the bottom of the balloon. The warm air expands and becomes less dense. This will rise and let the unheated, denser air in the balloon fall down toward the flame. This is an example of the convection cycle.


IV) A boy sits to the side of a campfire. He is 10 feet away, but still feels warm.

The campfire heats air directly nearby. The warm air expands and moves away from the fire in all directions, leaving behind unheated, denser air to be heated up. Some of the warm air reaches the boy. This is another example of convection.


The answer is A) 1 and 2.

A small airplane takes on 302 l of fuel. If the density of the fuel is 0.821 g/ml, what mass of fuel has the airplane taken on?
ella [17]

To calculate the mass of the fuel, we use the formula

m = V \times  \rho

Here, m is the mass of fuel, V is the volume of the fuel and its value is V =302 \ L =  302 \ L \times \frac{10^{3}m L }{L} = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL and  \rho is the density and its value of  0.821 g/mL.

Substituting these values in above relation, we get  

m = 302 \times 10^{3} \ mL \times 0.821 g/mL = 247942 g \\\\ m = 247. 94 \ kg

Thus, the mass of the fuel 247 .94 kg.
