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

If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.
prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."


The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."
