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 :')

Can a runner on a track be accelerating even if she is running at a constant speed why or why not

Lynna [10]

If the runner is running in a circular track then yes when something or someone is moving in a circular motion at a constant speed they are indeed accelerating. They’re accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing

Compute the order of magnitude of the mass of a bathtub half full of pennies. (Assume the pennies are made entirely of copper.)

devlian [24]

Answer:

Mass = 873.6kg = 0.874 × 10^3 kg

Order = 3

Question:

Compute the order of magnitude of the mass of a bathtub half full of pennies.(Assume the pennies are made entirely of copper and the tub measures 1.3 m by 0.5 m by 0.3 m)

Explanation:

Given:

Dimensions of the tub = 1.3 m by 0.5 m by 0.3 m

Density of copper d = 8960kg/m^3

Mass = volume × density

Volume of tub = L×B×H = 1.3 × 0.5 × 0.3 = 0.195m^3

Since the tub is half full:

V = 0.195/2 = 0.0975m^3

Mass = 8960kg/m^3 × 0.0975m^3

Mass = 873.6kg = 0.874 × 10^3 kg

Order = 3

Note: Order of magnitude is of the form:

N = a × 10^b

Where;

b = order of magnitude

and

1/√10 </= a < √10

A weight is hung from the ceiling of an elevator by a massless string. Under which circumstances will the tension in the cord be

Oduvanchick [21]

When the elevator is going up (assuming the elevator is acceleration)

When the elevator is accelerating downwards, the total gravitational force would be larger.

If the elevator is accelerating upwards, then the gravitation force would be smaller, thus the tension in the string would be smaller.
