Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

change in speed = (37 km/hr) - (89 km/hr) = -52 km/hr

Acceleration = (-52 km/hr) / (6 sec)

Acceleration = (-26/3) km/(hr·sec)

Units: (1/hr·sec) · (hr/3600 sec) = 1 / 3600 sec²

(-26/3) km/(hr·sec) = (-26/3) km/(3600 sec²)

= -26,000/(3 · 3600) m/s²

<em>Acceleration = -2.41 m/s²</em>

Answer: 30kg

Explanation:

F = 300N

m = ?

a = 10 m/s/s

m = f/a = 300N/10 m/s/s

A plane comes in for a landing at a velocity of 80 meters per second west. As it touches down, it decelerates at a constant rate
azamat

Answer:

Answer D : about 1067 meters

Explanation:

There are two steps to this problem:

1) First find the time it takes the plane to stop using the equation for the acceleration:

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}

Where Vf is the final velocity of the plane (in our case: zero )

Vi is the initial velocity of the plane (in our case: 80 m/s)

a is the acceleration (in our case -3 m/s^2 - notice negative value because the velocity is decreasing)

a=\frac{Vf-Vi}{t}\\-3=\frac{0-80}{t}\\t=\frac{-80}{-3} = \frac{80}{3}

with units corresponding to seconds given the quantities involved in the calculation.

2) Second knowing the time it took the plane to stop, now use that time in the equation for the distance traveled under accelerated motion:

Xf-Xi=Vi*t+\frac{1}{2} a t^{2} \\Xf-Xi= 80 (\frac{80}{3}) +\frac{1}{2} (-3) (\frac{80}{3}) ^{2}=1066.666666...

Where the answer results in units of meters given the quantities used in the calculation.

We round this to 1067 meters

Are there conditions under which the incident light ray undergoes reflection but not transmission at the boundary? if so, then w
Luden [163]

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.

<h3>What is total internal reflection?</h3>

The term total internal reflection occurs when light is moving from a denser to a less dense medium such as from glass to air. This phenomenon occurs at the interface between the two media.

There are two conditions necessary for total internal reflection and they are;

1) Light must travel from a denser to a less dense medium

2) The angle of incidence in the denser medium must be greater than the critical angle.

Total internal reflection causes light to be completely reflected across the  boundary between the two media but not transmitted.
