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

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 :')

Compared to its weight on Earth, a 5kg object on the moon will weigh
shutvik [7]

Answer:

8.1 N/49 N=0.1653  which means 16.53% of the weight of the object on Earth.

Explanation:

On the Moon, where the gravitational constant is 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2}, the weight of the 5 kg object will be: weight_M=m*g_M = 5 kg * 1.62 \frac{m}{s^2} =8.1 N

Where the answer is in Newtons (N) since all quantities are given in the SI system.

On Earth, on the other hand, the weight of the object is:

weight_E=m*g_E= 5 kg* 9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} = 49N

Therefore the object's weight on the Moon compared to that on Earth will be:

8.1N/49N=0.1653

That is, 16.53% of the weight the object has on Earth.

The length of the minute hand of the clock is 14cm. Calculate the speed with which the tip of the minute hand moves
Molodets [167]

Speed of the tip of the minute hand=V=0.0244 cm/s

Explanation:

The angular velocity of the minute hand is given by

\omega= \frac{2\pi}{T}

T= time period of the minute hand=60 min=3600 s

so ω= 2 π/3600 rad/s

Now linear velocity v= r ω

r= radius of minute hand=14 cm

so v= 14 (2 π/3600)

V=0.0244 cm/s

A speeder passes a parked police car at a constant speed of 23.3 m/s. At that instant, the police car starts from rest with a un
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

32s

Explanation:

We must establish that by the time the police car catches up to the speeder, both have travelled a certain distance during the same amount of time. However, the police car experiences accelerated motion whereas the speeder travels at a constant velocity. Therefore we will establish two formulas for distance starting with the speeder's distance:

x=vt=23.3\frac{m}{s}t

and the police car distance:

x=vt+\frac{at^{2}}{2}=0+\frac{2.75\frac{m}{s^{2}} t^{2}}{2}=0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}

Since they both travel the same distance x, we can equal both formulas and solve for t:

0 = 0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t^{2}-23.3\frac{m}{s} t\\\\0=t(0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t-23.3\frac{m}{s} )\\\\

Two solutions exist to the equation; the first one being t=0

The second solution will be:

0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}t=23.3\frac{m}{s}\\\\t=\frac{23.3\frac{m}{s}}{0.73\frac{m}{s^{2}}}=32s

This result allows us to confirm that the police car will take 32s to catch up to the speeder
