Answer:

- 1.42m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity of a body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/time

Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity/time

Since she slows her car from 14.0 to 5.5m/s in 6seconds,

Initial velocity = 14m/s

Final velocity = 5.5m/s

Time = 6seconds

Substituting in the given formula, we will have

Acceleration = 5.5 - 14/6

Acceleration = - 8.5/6

Acceleration = - 1.42m/s²

The negative acceleration shows that the car decelerates.

What does wave speed have to do with all SONAR AND RADAR technologies?
Elena L [17]

Explanation:

1) Radar uses radio waves, which are a type of electromagnetic energy. Sonar uses the echo principle by sending out sound waves underwater or through the human body to locate objects. Sound waves are a type of acoustic energy. Because of the different type of energy used in radar and sonar, each has its own applications.

2)Radar systems operate using radio waves primarily in air, while sonar systems operate using sound waves primarily in water (Minkoff, 1991). Despite the difference in medium, similarities in the principles of radar and sonar can frequently result in technological convergence.
