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.

What location on earth that is directly hit by the light during a summer solstice?
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Solstice usually refers to the condition when there occurs the longest duration of day and night and during this time the north pole of the earth is tilted at the farthest distance from the location of the sun. There are two types of the solstice, namely the summer and the winter solstice.

In the case of the northern hemisphere or the upper half of the equator, the summer solstice usually occurs in June 21st and the winter solstice occurs in December 21st.

The locations on earth where the sunlight is directly incident during the time of summer solstice are the regions lying in the tropic of cancer namely, India, Mexico, the southern portion of China and the Bahamas.

An airplane wing is designed to make the air move
amm1812

An airplane wing is designed to make the air move  <em>faster over the top than under the bottom. (c)</em>  They do this by making the top of the wing curved and the bottom flat, so the air that flows over the top has farther to go.

It turns out, according to a scientist named Bernoulli, that air exerts lower pressure when it moves faster. So if it moves faster over the top of the wing, then there's less pressure on the top of the wing and more on the bottom, and the wing thinks there's a force that's LIFTING it . . . <em>very convenient and useful</em> if the wing is part of an airplane !

You are watching an archery tournament when you start wondering how fast an arrow is shot from the bow. Remembering your physics
lianna [129]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Velocity of throwing arrow = 43.13 m/s.</u></em>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the height from which the arrow was shot = h

Distance traveled by the arrow in horizontal = 61 m

Angle made by the arrow with the ground = 2°

So,

From the <u>equations of the motion</u>,

61 =u.t\\t=\frac{61}{u}

Now,

Also,

Finally, the angle made is 2 degrees with the horizontal.

So,

Final horizontal velocity = v.cos20°

Final vertical velocity = v.sin20°

Now,

u = v.cos20° (No acceleration in horizontal)

Also,

v=u+at\\vsin20=0+9.8(t)\\t=\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}

So,

We can say that,

\frac{v.sin20}{9.8}=\frac{61}{v.cos20}\\v^{2}.sin20.cos20=597.8\\v^{2}=1860.56\\v=43.13\,m/s

<em><u>Therefore, the velocity with which the arrow was shot by the archer is 43.13 m/s.</u></em>
