Answer:

(a) 8.117 (b) 0.742m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given distance s =40 m time t=7.5 sec

Final velocity v =2.55 m/sec

From the first equation of motion v=u-at (negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 2.55=u-7.5a --------------eqn 1

From the second equation of motion s=ut-\frac{1}{2}at^2 ( negative sign because there is retrdation as the truck speed is slowing down )

So 40=7.5u-0.5\times a\times 7.5^2

40=7.5u-28.125a------------------eqn 2

On solving eqn1 and eqn 2

u=8.117 m/sec and a=-0.742m/sec^2

How does your power output in climbing the stairs compare to the power output of a 100-watt light bulb? if your power could have
cricket20 [7]
1) Assuming an adult person has an average mass of m=80 kg, and assuming it takes about 30 seconds to climb 5 meters of stairs, the energy used by the person is
E=mgh=(80 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(5 m)=3924 J
So the power output is 
P= \frac{E}{t}= \frac{3924 J}{30 s} \sim 130 W

And since the estimate we made is very rough, we can say that the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of the light bulb of 100 W.

2) Based on the results we found in the previous part of the exercise, since the power output of the person is comparable to the power output of 1 light bulb of 100 W, we can say that the person could have kept burning only one 100-W light bulb during the climb.

Tudy the images about geologic time.
Inessa [10]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era.

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era was an era where numerous organisms started to develop in very unique and more advanced ways, both the animals and the plants. In the last period of the Mesozoic, the Cretaceous, the first flowering plants started to appear on the scene. This was revolutionary trait of the plants, and soon these plants started to occupy more and more space and became one of the dominant organisms on the planet. Other important evolution that took place in this period are the appearance of the dinosaurs and the mammals, both becoming the dominant animals on the planet, first the dinosaurs, after that the mammals.

Which of the following situations could cause light to diffract?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

B. Light passes through a small opening

Explanation:

Diffraction is one of the properties of wave defined as the bending of wave around corners. It occurs mostly when waves passes through a tiny opening or slit. The type of waveform generated by the wave depends on the type of opening or slit that the medium passes through. The opening can be tiny or large.

Based on the definition, it can be inferred that the situation that causes light waves to diffract is when the light passes through a small opening. For example, the light of a torch passing through a tiny door hole is diffraction.
