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.

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu
DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

h= ut- 16 t^2

Here, h is the  variable  represents the height of the flare  in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

0 = 192 t - 16 t^2  \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s.

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is  the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

The speed of sound is measured to be 340 m/s on a certain day.
ziro4ka [17]
Answer: 1,224 km/h

Explanation:

To do this, we pick the first unit and convert
Picking m first and converting to km:
Since we're converting from a non-prefix to a prefix, we divide the value by the prefix were taking it to. In this case, kilo = 10³ which means we're going to divide our value by 1000 to convert it from m to km
340 m/s ÷ 1000 = 0.34 km/s
Now, let's convert our seconds to hour:
We'll need to calculate how many hours is equivalent to one second first;
1 hr = 60×60 seconds
X hr = 1 second
*Cross multiply*
1 × 1 = X × 60 × 60
1 = 3,600 X
X = 1 / 3,600
X = 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
So, in the place of "1 Second", we're going to be inserting 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour instead
0.34 km / s = 0.34 km / 2.778×10⁻⁴ hour
(0.34 / 2.778×10⁻⁴) km/hour
1,224 km/h.
340 m/s = 1,224 km/h
