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>

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Decreases by $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

Explanation:

The intensity of a sound is defined as the energy of the sound that is flowing in an unit time through the unit area which is in the direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the sound waves movement.

The intensity of energy is described by the inverse square law. It states that the intensity varies inversely with the distance square of the distance.

In other words, the sound intensity decreases as inversely proportional to the squared of the distance.  i.e. $\frac{1}{r^2}$

In the context when the distance was 3 m, the intensity of the sound was = $\frac{1}{9}$

But when the distance became 6 cm or 0.06 m, the sound intensity decreases by =  $\frac{1}{0.06^2}$

                       = $3.6 \times 10^{-3}$ times

A certain car can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.9 s. What is the car's average acceleration in mph/s?
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

<em>a = 7.6\ mph/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motion With Constant Acceleration </u>

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

v_f=v_o+at

Where:

a   = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf  = final speed

t    = time

Solving the equation [for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}

a = 7.6\ mph/s

Who needs to know physics when they are making a satellite
vladimir2022 [97]
First satellite was Sputnik and it was a race then to send satellites!! Everyone starts experimenting how to launch.

first try was on a dog , Laika !! It was send to space as it is long after sputnik is placed in orbit !!

Now you know everyone knows rocket science and the most active are ISRO (India) and NASA (USA) !!
