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

GETTING TIMED PLS HELP! Do the runners in the picture above represent kinetic or potential energy? you need to explain why.
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

<em>They represent kinetic energy</em>

Explanation:

<u>Kinetic Energy </u>

A body can do work due to some of its attributes or states. For example, its mass can do work if used to provide energy, if the object is at a certain height respect to some reference level, it can do work when going downwards (potential energy), if the object moves at a certain speed, it can do work when transferring part of its speed to other objects. It's called kinetic energy and is given by

\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}

Both runners are moving in a horizontal path, thus they have kinetic energy, given by the above equation. If they could jump below ground level, then they will also have potential energy

Which of these factors best explains why liquid water exists on earth ?
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

earth strong gravity

Explanation:

The only planet that have water bodies is earth. We know that water is one of the important factors for all living organism. Liquid water exists on the earth's surface is due to the atmospheric pressure. The reason behind this is not completely mentioned.

There are so many hypothesis about it. Out of given options the correct option is earth's strong gravity.

Hence, the correct option is (b) " earth strong gravity ".

If a football player does 39000 J of work, how much power does the football player exert in 5 minutes
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Power = 130 watt

Explanation:

Power is described as the ability to do work, it is also defined as the amount of work in Joules done in a given time in seconds. Mathematically, it is represented as:

power = \frac{work (J)}{Time (s)}

In this example, power is calculated as follows:

Work = 39000 J

Time = 5 minutes

converting the time from minutes to seconds:

1 minute = 60 seconds

∴ 5 minutes = 60 × 5 = 300 seconds

\therefore power = \frac{39000}{300} \\power = 130 watt

N:B the unit for power can also be represented as Joules/seconds or J/s or JS⁻¹

Find the frequency if the period is 15 us.
Sav [38]

Answer:

The frequency is 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.

Explanation:

  1. Period is defined as the time taken by any element to attempt one complete oscillatory motion in one second.
  2. Frequency is the number of complete oscillations made in one second.
  • Frequency and period are inversely proportional to each other.
  • In mathematical term: frequency = \frac{1}{period}.
  • As we are given, period = 15×10^{-6} s.
  • We can easily calculate frequency as: f\\= \frac{1}{15. 10^{-6} }
  • So frequency is f= 0.667× 10^{6} Hz.
