Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t

ime), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 7.00 m/s2.

First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration 
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

A student pushes on a 20.0 kg box with a force of 50 N at an angle of 30° below the horizontal. The box accelerates at a rate of
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

225 N

Explanation:

"Below the horizontal" means he's pushing down at an angle.

Draw a free body diagram of the box.  There are three forces: normal force N pushing up, weight force mg pulling down, and the applied force F at an angle θ.

Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

N − mg − F sin θ = 0

N = F sin θ + mg

Plug in values:

N = (50 N) (sin 30°) + (20.0 kg) (10 m/s²)

N = 225 N

6. What are 3 different evidences of evolution? How is each form used to provide evidence of evolution?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

Divergent - This type of evolution often occurs when closely related species diversify to new habitats. On a large scale, divergent evolution is responsible for the creation of the current diversity of life on earth from the first living cells. On a smaller scale, it is responsible for the evolution of humans and apes from a common primate ancestor.

Convergent - Convergent evolution causes difficulties in fields of study such as comparative anatomy. Convergent evolution takes place when species of different ancestry begin to share analogous traits because of a shared environment or other selection pressure. For example, whales and fish have some similar characteristics since both had to evolve methods of moving through the same medium: water.

Parallel evolution - Parallel evolution occurs when two species evolve independently of each other, maintaining the same level of similarity. Parallel evolution usually occurs between unrelated species that do not occupy the same or similar niches in a given habitat.

What is the difference between a circuit and a current?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive

Explanation:

The difference between current and circuit is that a circuit is a complete loop that carries a current in the form of electrons from negative to positive .

In a circuit, there are difference elements or components such as the battery, wire, resistor. The goal of a circuit arrangement is to completely carry current from one end to another.

The current is the quantity of charge that flows within the circuit per unit of time.

So, the battery supplies the electromotive force to move the current round the circuit.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

S = V t + 1/2 a t^2 = 5 m/s * 5 s + .2 m/s^2 * 25 s^2 =

25 m + 5 m = 30 m     distance traveled

Vf = V + a t = 5 m/s + .4 m/s^2 * 5 s = (5 + 2) m/s = 7 m/s    final velocity

An object is released from rest high above the surface of the earth. When it has fallen halfway to the surface, its kinetic ener
aksik [14]

Answer:

There will be an increase in the kinetic energy

Explanation:

A falling object converts the gravitational potential energy to the kinetic energy. The potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy followed by the conversation:

E_{p} = E_{k}

where Ep and Ek are potential and kinetic energies respectively.

This potential energy is then converted to kinetic energy. Halfway, the kinetic energy is equal to KE1.

However, the kinetic energy is given by the equation:

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

As the velocity increases, the kinetic energy increases. Hence KE2 will be greater than KE1
