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

Which force acts as an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

The force is Inertia

Explanation:

The force that acts on an object to move it from rest or a constant straight line motion is known as Inertia.

In physics the above statement is governed by Newton's first law of motion which is also known as Law of Inertia.

This law states that, an object that is at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving will continue to move in a straight line with constant speed, if and only if the net force acting on the object is zero.

This implies that, A stationary object will remain motionless if no force acts on it while a object with constant velocity will continue moving with constant velocity until a force acts on it (neglecting resistance from air and friction).

Explain the law of conversion of energy with an example and explain it ​
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. ... The cue ball loses energy because the energy it had has been transferred to the 8 ball, so the cue ball slows down.

Describe how sound waves move through different types of matter. Compare the speed at which sound moves through solids, liquids,
Andru [333]
Sound waves need different media in order to travel. This travels by the movement of the atom transferred to another up to its destination. The speed of sound is greatest in solids since the molecules of solid are closely packed together, followed by liquid and they are slowest in gases.

A fish can travel 30km/h in still water. How long will it take to arrive 12km downstream in a river flowing 6km/h?
kodGreya [7K]
30 + 6 = 36

36/12 = 3



So, it would take it 3 hours to go 12 kms downstream.



Note that we added 30 and 6 because it was going downstream. If it was going upstream, then we would have had to subtract.

What is used to measure mass?
defon

Answer:

A balance

Explanation:

Scientists measure mass with a balance, such as a triple beam balance or electronic balance. In science, the volume of a liquid might be measured with a graduated cylinder.
