A driver is traveling east on a dirt road when she spots a pothole ahead . she slows her car from 14.0 m/s to 5.5 m/s in 6.0 s.

What is the cars acceleration? Please show the formula and how to work it out. Thank you!

The kinematic formula I would use is v(f)=v(i)+at so plugging in the values you'd get 5.5=14+a*6
So a= -1.42, the answer is negative because the car is slowing down.

What does a thermostat do if it gets too cool? ____________________________________ 2. what does a thermostat do if it gets too
Jet001 [13]
<span>If the thermostat gets too hot, it will turn off the heat an turn on the air conditioner. If a thermostat gets too cool it will turn on the heat or turn off the cold air. The human body is similar to a thermostat because if people get cold, they get covered in goosebumps, if they get too hot they begin to sweat.</span>

A thundercloud has an electric charge of 48.8 C near the top of the cloud and –41.7 C near the bottom of the cloud. The magnitud
IceJOKER [234]

Answer: 1.51 km

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law:</u> The electrostatic force between two charge particles Q: and Q2 is directly proportional to product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to square of separation distance between them.

Or,   \vec{F}=k \frac{Q_{1} Q_{2}}{r^{2}}

Where Q1 and Q2 are magnitude of two charges and r is distance between them:

<u>Given:</u>

Q1 = Charge near top of cloud = 48.8 C

Q2 = Charge near the bottom of cloud = -41.7 C

Force between charge at top and bottom of cloud (i.e. between Q: and Q2) (F) = 7.98 x 10^6N

k = 8.99 x 109Nm^2/C^2

<u>So,</u>

\begin{aligned}&7.98 \times 10^{6}=\left(8.99 \times 10^{9} \mathrm{Nm}^{2} / \mathrm{C}^{2}\right) \frac{48.8 \mathrm{C} \times 41.7 \mathrm{C}}{\mathrm{r}^{2}} \\&r=\sqrt{\frac{1.8294 \times 10^{13}}{7.98 \times 10^{6}}}=1.514  \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~m}=1.51 \mathrm{~km}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the separation between the two charges (r) = 1.51 km

Which of the following ocean motions are powered by the wind? waves tides surface currents deep ocean currents
Effectus [21]

At the entrance of most beaches, there is a bulletin board with notices about water conditions: maybe a faded sign warning about rip currents and a list of this week's tide tables. Most people pass them by without a second thought, but if you want to enter the ocean, it is important to know its movements, whether to avoid being caught in a riptide or to figure out when the waves will be at their best.


Hope this helps
