A car traveling at 26 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds. What is its acceleration?

1 answer:

5 0

Alright let's start this off with our basic equation!

Accerlation (a) = ?

Initial velocity (V1)= 26 m/s
Final velocity (V2) = 0 ft/s because the car comes to a complete stop!

Time (t) = 6 seconds

The equation for acceleration is below!
a = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial Velocity}{time}$

So now, just plug in the values!
a = $\frac{0 - 26}{6}$
a = $\frac{-26}{6}$
a = -4.33 m/s²

Therefore, your acceleration is -4.33 m/s²!! Hope this helped and was one of the branliest answers :')

Karolina [17]

Answer:

a) 4.9*10^-6

b) 5.71*10^-15

Explanation:

Given

current, I = 3.8*10^-10A

Diameter, D = 2.5mm

n = 8.49*10^28

The equation for current density and speed drift is

J = I/A = (ne) Vd

A = πD²/4

A = π*0.0025²/4

A = π*6.25*10^-6/4

A = 4.9*10^-6

Now,

J = I/A

J = 3.8*10^-10/4.9*10^-6

J = 7.76*10^-5

Electron drift speed is

J = (ne) Vd

Vd = J/(ne)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/(8.49*10^28)*(1.60*10^-19)

Vd = 7.76*10^-5/1.3584*10^10

Vd = 5.71*10^-15

Therefore, the current density and speed drift are 4.9*10^-6

And 5.71*10^-15 respectively

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o

muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3$

$\Delta v = -38.1 km/s$

$\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

given that

$\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

$\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s$

now the acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}$

$a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration

what are three activities in your everyday life that involve electromagnetic energy? and explain what type of electromagnetic en

mihalych1998 [28]

1). While I'm driving the car, I keep my eyes pointed out the front window,

so that LIGHT WAVES coming straight in through the front window get into

them. Using this process, I'm able to SEE what's in front of me, so that I don't

drive straight into it.

2). Also while I'm driving the car, I usually have the radio on, and I tune it

to a frequency where the RADIO WAVES that it responds to are being

modulated by people who are either talking or else playing classical music.

3). Before I leave the house on most days, I take a small container of

frozen Irish oatmeal out of the freezer, and I load it into the big box

above the stove, where MICROWAVE ENERGY thaws it, and warms

it to a nice eating temperature.

3A). When I arrive at my job, I usually do things that are also associated

in some way with MICROWAVE energy, since I work as a microwave

system design engineer. Most of the time it's just paperwork, but there

ARE times when I work with an actual radio that's either generating or

detecting real microwave energy, and either sending it up to, or receiving

it down from, a big dish antenna on a radio tower. Those are the days that

I like the best.
