The acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration exerted by any object in order of decrease in the speed is termed as deceleration. In other words , negative acceleration or acceleration acting in opposite direction to stop the motion of any object is termed as deceleration. The magnitude of acceleration and deceleration is same only the direction is completely opposite to each other. So the negative sign will be obtained for acceleration value of any object whose velocity slows down from initial velocity.

Here , the initial velocity was 60 m/s and the final velocity is slowed down to 40 m/s in time 10 s.

So acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocty)/Time

Acceleration = (40-60)/10 = -20/10 = -2 m/s².

Thus, the acceleration of the car is stated as -2 m/s², while the deceleration of the car is termed as 2 m/s².

Blood plasma volume for adults is about 3.1 liters. It has a density of 1.020 gml. How many pounds of blood plasma are in your b
kari74 [83]

Answer:

mass is 6.97 pounds

Explanation:

given data

volume = 3.1 liters

density = 1.020 g/ml = 1.02 kg/l

to find out

How many pounds of blood plasma

solution

we know mass formula from density that is

density = mass / volume

so

mass = density × volume    ...............1

so put all value to get mass

mass = 1.02 × 3.1

mass = 3.162 kg

mass = 3.162  × 2.205 pounds

so mass is 6.97 pounds

From an h = 53 feet observation tower on the coast, a Coast Guard officer sights a boat in difficulty. The angle of depression o
maksim [4K]

Answer:

757,93 feets

Explanation:

We can make a right triangle between the boat (A), the Coast Guard officer (B) and the base of the observation tower (C), like in the graph attached. Now, you could also made a rectangle, adding the horizontal at the height of the Coast Guard, starting in B and ending in D, the vertex opossing C.

The angle of depression, its O in the graph.

Now, as we got an rectangle, of course, the segment AD its the same length as CB, and CA, the distance from the boat to shoreline, its the same length as DB.

ADB its an right triangle, with AB, the hypothenuse, and BD and DA, the catheti (or <em>legs</em>).

Now, we know the lenght BC, the height of the tower, 53 feets, so we also know the lenght of DA. DA its the opposite cathetus to the angle O. We wish to know the length AC, equal to the lenght DB, the adjacent cathetus of the angle O.

Know, the trigonometric function that connects the adjacent cathetus with the opossite cathetus its the tangent.

tangent( O ) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}

We can take that the angle O = 4 °, and knowing that the opossite cathetus its 53 feets, we got:

tangent( 4) = \frac{53 feets}{DB}

DB=  \frac{53 feets}{tangent( 4)}

DB=  757,93 feets

This its equal to the distance from the boat to the shoreline.
