A child rides her bike at a rate of 12.0 km/hr down the street. A squirrel suddenly runs in front of her so she applies the brak

es and slows to 8.0 km/hr in 0.25 sec. What is the acceleration of the bike rider during this period?

By v = u - at 
<span>=>8 = 12 - a x 0.25 </span>
<span>=>a = 4/0.25 km/hr/sec </span>
<span>=>a = 16km/hr/sec

I hope this helped!</span>

calculate the time required for a 6000.-Newton net force to stop a 1200.-kilogram car initially traveling at 10. M/s
DanielleElmas [232]

               Force = (mass) x (acceleration).

We know the force and the mass, so we can write

               6,000 N = (1,200 kg) x (acceleration).

Divide each side by 1,200 kg:       

               Acceleration = 6000N/1200kg = 5 m/s² .

That's the acceleration.  The car's speed changes by 5 m/s each second
that the force acts on it.  If the force pushes from behind, then the car goes
5 m/s faster every second.  If the force pushes from in front, then the car
goes 5 m/s slower every second.

The car is moving at 10 m/s and we want to slow it down to zero m/s.  So
the force has to push from the front, and it will take  (10/5) = <em>2 seconds</em> to
complete the job.

A woman is standing in the ocean, and she notices that after a wave crest passes by, five more crests pass in a time of 39.5 s.
Gnoma [55]

(a) 7.9 s

The period of a wave is time that passes between two consecutive crests (or two consecutive troughs).

In this case, we are told that five crests pass in a time of 39.5 s. Therefore we can find the period by using the proportion:

\frac{5}{39.5 s}=\frac{1}{T}

Where T is the period. Re-arranging the equation, we find

T=\frac{(39.5)(1)}{5}=7.9 s

(b) 0.127 Hz

The frequency of a wave is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}

where

f is the frequency

T is the period

For this wave, we have T = 7.9 s, so its frequency is

f=\frac{1}{7.9 s}=0.127 Hz

(c) 37.9 m

The wavelength of a wave is the distance between two consecutive crests (or two consecutive troughs). For this wave, the distance between two successive crests is 37.9 m, so the wavelength of the wave is

\lambda=37.9 m

(d) 4.81 m/s

The speed of a wave is given by

v=\lambda f

where

\lambda is the wavelength

f is the frequency

For the wave in the problem, we have

\lambda=37.9 m\\f=0.127 Hz

Therefore, the speed of the wave is

v=(37.9)(0.127)=4.81 m/s

To become a personal trainer, a bachelor's degree is usually needed.
Eddi Din [679]
<span>It is false that in order to become a personal trainer, a bachelor's degree is usually needed. The minimal requirements for such a job would be a diploma, or a certificate that you have the necessary skills and knowledge in order to become a personal trainer, but you do not need a faculty degree in order to perform this job. Your skills are far more improtant than the paper from a university.</span>

A car accelerates away from a stop sign. Is the work done negative or positive? Explain why.
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

positively

Explanation:

Because there is and absolute number so no matter the they accelerate backwards or forwards, they will still be traveling away at an positive number.
