(a) As the car is moving with constant velocity, it means the rate change of velocity does not change, therefore the average acceleration of the car is zero.

Thus, there is no acceleration, when velocity is constant.

(b) Average acceleration,

a =\frac{ v-u}{\Delta t}

Here, v is final velocity and u is the initial velocity and \Delta t is the time interval.

As twelve seconds later, the car is halfway around the track and traveling in the opposite direction with the same speed, therefore

a =\frac{ -86 \ m/s-86 \ m/s }{12 \ s} = - 14 .3 \ m/s^2

Thus, the average acceleration of the car is 14 .3 \ m/s^2 in the direction to the left.

If the distance between the crest and trough of a wave is 0.6 m what is the wave's amplitude
Klio2033 [76]
I assume you are talking about the vertical distance: in that case, the answer is 0.6 m.

In fact, the wave's amplitude is the vertical distance between a crest of the wave and a trough. For the wave in the problem, this distance is equal to 0.6 m, therefore the amplitude of the wave is exactly 0.6 m.
