B. negative acceleration

omeli [17]4 years ago
6 0

the correct choice is

b. negative acceleration

acceleration is given as rate of change of velocity and is given by the formula

a = (v - v₀)/t

where a = acceleration , v = final velocity, v₀ = initial velocity , t = time

as the car slows down , the final velocity is smaller than the initial velocity.

v < v₀

so (v - v₀) < 0

so acceleration = a =  (v - v₀)/t

since (v - v₀) < 0

hence a < 0

so the acceleration is negative

In a $100$ meter track event, Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds before Beatrice does. If it
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

10s

Explanation:

If it took Beatrice 25 seconds to complete the race

Distance = 100 meter

Beatrice speed = 100/25

                          = 4m/s

If Alice runs at a constant speed and crosses the finish line $5$ seconds, she must have completed the race in 20s (25 -5).

Her speed where constant

= 100/20

= 5 m/s

It would take Alice

= 50/5

= 10s

It would take Alice 10s to run $50$ meters.

The graph in the accompanying figure (Figure 1) shows the magnitude of the force exerted by a given spring as a function of the
serious [3.7K]

The elastic potential energy stored in the stretched spring is 1 J.

<h3>What is Hooke's law?</h3>

Hooke's law states that; provided the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension of the spring is directly proportional to the force on the spring.

Given that;

Force on the spring = 350 Newton

Distance stretched = 7 centimeters or 0.07 m

Hence;

F = ke

k = F/e = 350 Newton/0.07 m = 5000 N/m

Work done in stretching a spring = 1/2ke^2

= 0.5 × 5000 × (2 × 10^-2)^2 =1 J
