Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity per unit time. In this case, velocity has changed from 17.7 m/s to 14.1 m/s, which is a decrease of 3.6 m/s. This takes place in 12 seconds, so the average acceleration is 3.6 m/s / 12s = 0.3 m/s^2. The direction of this acceleration is south, since the car's northbound speed is decreasing.

If an electron is accelerated from rest through a potential difference of 1.60 x 102V, what is its de Broglie wavelength
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

0.09 x10^-10m

Explanation:

Using wavelength=( 12.27 A)/√V

= 12.27 x 10^-10/ √1.6x10^2

= 0.09x10^-10m

Vector vector b has x, y, and z components of 4.00, 4.00, and 2.00 units, respectively. calculate the magnitude of vector
Sav [38]
Good morning.

We see that \mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}} = \mathsf{(4.00, \ 4.00, \ 2.00)}

The magnitude(norm, to be precise) can be calculated the following way:

\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}=(x, y,z)\Rightarrow ||\overset{\to}{a}|| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}}


Now the calculus is trivial:

\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b} \| =\sqrt{4^2+4^2+2^2} =\sqrt{16+16+4}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\|=\sqrt{36}}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\| = 6.00 \ u}}

In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions are used to heat steam, which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening i
mr_godi [17]
In a nuclear power plant, you start off with uranium (nuclear energy), and a lot of that nuclear energy is released by heat energy. Heat then boils water and drives a turbine for a generator, which creates kinetic energy, which produces electrical energy.

In other words, your answer is B.
