Answer

Find out the calculate the acceleration if it took 3 seconds to slow your car down .

To prove

The formula of the accleration is given by

a = \frac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{t}

where\ v_{f}\ is\ the\ final\ velocity.

where\ v_{i}\ is\ the\ intial\ velocity.

t is the time.

As given

you are traveling in a car that is moving at a velocity of 20 m/s.

suddenly a car 10 meters in front of you slams on its brakes.

at the moment you also slam on your brakes and slow to 5 m/s and it take 3 seconds.

v_{f} = 5m/s

v_{i} = 20m/s

t = 3s

put all the value in the formula

a = \frac{5 - 20}{3}

a = \frac{-15}{3}

a = -5 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration is -5 m/s² .

INITIAL VELOCITY =20m/s=u 

FINAL VELOCITY =5m/s=v

TIME TAKEN = 2 sec = t

Acceleration = ? = a 

We have

a = [ V -  U ] / f

= [ 5 - 20 ] /2  =7 .5 m/s2

ANSWER IS 7.5 m/s2

Write two equivalent fractions for each. 1/2 and 4/5
Butoxors [25]
An equivalent fraction for 1/2 would be 2/4. This is because you can simplify 2/4 by dividing it by 2. The final answer would be 1/2.

An equivalent fraction for 4/5 would be 8/10. It's basically the same thing. Divide them both by 2 and you'll get 4/5 since 8 divided by 2 is 4, and 10 divided by 2 is 5.

The Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona recently expanded their boundaries by 93,533 acres. The original acreage was 125,0
leonid [27]

Answer: The new acreage of the park is 218,533.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original acreage = 125,000

Expanded boundary by = 93,533 acres

We need to find the new acreage of the park.

so,we will use

New\ acreage=Original\ acreage+Expanded\\\\New\ acreage=125000+93533\\\\New\ acreage=218,533

Hence, The new acreage of the park is 218,533.
