Answer:

Acceleration of the car is -5\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 20 m/s

Finally, it brought to rest, v = 0

Time taken, t = 4 s

We need to find the average acceleration over this time interval. The acceleration of an object is given by following formula as :

a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{-(20\ m/s)}{4\ s}          

a=-5\ m/s^2

So, the car is decelerating at 5\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A crane lifts a 100 kg concrete block to a vertical height of 25 m. Calculate
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Solon,

total mass (kg)= 100kg

height (h)= 25m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

so,

work done =m*g*h

= 100*9.8*25

= 24,500 joule

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.
