A car traveling at 30m/s screeches to a halt, leaving 55 m long skid marks. what was the cars acceleration while braking

Physics

Finger [1]3 years ago

For this problem we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equation is written below:

2ax = v² - v₀²
where 
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity

Since the car comes to a stop eventually, v=0. Substituting the values,

2a(55) =0² - 30²
a = -8.18 m/s²

Which energy resources are found above the Earth's surface​
never [62]

Answer: the sun

Explanation:

The sun's radiant energy reaches the earth's surface either directly through radiation, indirectly through convection, or it can move "across" or "through" objects or materials on the surface via conduction. Let's look more closely at each case. We've probably experienced the feeling of "warmth" of the sun on our skin on a sunny day. Light energy from the sun is reaching us across space and down through the atmosphere through radiation. A dark colored vehicle in the sun quickly becomes warm (or hot!) to the touch because of radiation. The light energy from the sun heats the air in the earth's atmosphere, and this drives convection and transfers thermal energy around. It is possible that we've felt a "hot breeze" on our skin on sunny days. The thermal energy in the air will be carried to objects in its path, and it will warm them.

Identify the areas on the image where the force of repulsion is the least.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Each magnet has a north pole and a south pole. We know that, from having played with bar magnets in our childhood, that a magnet's north pole will repel another magnet's north pole and attract its south pole.

From this diagram it is easy to see that the two lower bar magnets not only repel each other, but they are quite attracted to each other since their north and south poles are close together.

Therefore the region between the lower two magnets has the least force of repulsion.

Why are some consolation visible to New York State observers at midnight during April , but not visible at midnight during Octob
Svetach [21]
"Midnight" means looking away from the Sun. But in 6 months from April to October the earth goes halfway around the Sun. So midnight in April and midnight in October are exactly opposite directions.

What is true about resistance? Check all that apply. A. It is the excess accumulation of electric charge B. It is measured in oh
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

B, C and E

Explanation:

The unit of resistance in the international system is the Ohm, the equation that describes the resistance is:

R=p\frac{l}{S} \\

Where (l) is for lenght of the wire, (S) is the area and (p) its the constant associated to the conductor.

It's related by the Ohm's Law:

R=\frac{V}{I}
