Answer:

Deceleration of the car is 2\frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Explanation:

Given:

initial speed = 12 m/s

final speed = 8 m/s

time = 2 s

To find:

acceleration = ?

Formula used:

According to first kinematic equation:

v = u + a t

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

Solution:

According to first kinematic equation:

v = u + a t

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

t = time

a = acceleration

8 = 12 + 2 a

-4 = 2 a

a = -2 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

The negative sign implies that it is deceleration. Thus, deceleration of the car is 2\frac{m}{s^{2} }.

Answer:

Acceleration value of car = -2 m/s^2

Explanation:

 We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

Here a car is traveling at 12 m/s, so initial velocity = 12 m/s

After 2 seconds the speed drops to 8 m/s, so final velocity = 8 m/s

Time taken = 2 seconds

Substituting

        8 = 12 + a * 2

         2a = -4

         a = -2 m/s^2

 Acceleration value of car = -2 m/s^2

I think this is AWESOME, but I think the last sentence of your conclusion is a bit off. <span> "If someone has an allergy to oil then they can still eat cake because applesauce makes an amazing substitute for oil." I think that you should say "This recipe is great for those who cannot eat/drink oil, the applesauce is an amazing substitute for oil."

I hope I helped! -Wajiha</span>

Describe the main reason why the scientific community did not accept Alfred wegener idea of continental drift?
lara31 [8.8K]
<span>I think they were also too skeptic to believe the continent did move or pull apart, even today do you believe that the continents broke from one big flat plate, and that they pulled apart? They also wonder what large force would be responsible for the movement.

It was much later that evidences from plant and animal features that had similarity from two different planets came up that scientists began accepting the idea of continental drift.
And similar rock strata from two different opposite continents, showed similar rock strata.
All these evidences came up much later after Alfred Wengener.

So Alfred Wengener was honored Posthumously</span>

A steel rod is pulled in tension with a stress that is less than the yield strength. The modulus of elasticity may be calculated
pshichka [43]

Answer:

B. Axial stress divided by axial strain

Explanation:

Elasticity:

It is the tendency of an object to deform along the axis when an opposing force is applied without facing permanent change in shape.

Plasticity:

When an object crosses the elasticity limit, it enters plasticity where the change due to stress is permanent and the object might even break.

Yield strength:

Yield strength is the point of maximum bearable stress that indicates the limit of elasticity.

Our case:

As the stress applied is less than the yield strength, the rod is still in the elasticity state and its modulus can be calculated.

Modulus of Elasticity = Stress along axis/Ratio of change in length to original length

Axial strain is basically the ratio of change in length to original length.

So, Modulus of Elasticity = Axial Stress/ Axial Strain
