Bohr is the scientist you are looking for my friend...;)
Answer:
Explanation:
Acceleration is equal to the change in velocity over the change in time, or
where the change in velocity is final velocity minus initial velocity. Filling in:
Note that I made the backward velocity negative so the forward velocity in our answer will be positive.
Simplifying that gives us:
and then isolating the final velocity, our unknown:
3.0(6.0) = v + 3.0 and
3.0(6.0) - 3.0 = v and
18 - 3.0 = v so
15 m/s = v and because this answer is positive, that means that the car is no longer rolling backwards (which was negative) but is now moving forward.
Answer:
166 666 666.7 years
Explanation:
We start the question by making the units uniform. We are told that the continents move at 3 cm/year = 0.03 m/year.
We are also told that the continents are now 5000 km = 5 000 000 m apart
So to calculate the time it took for them to be this far apart
t = distance/speed
t = 5 000 000 m/(0.03 m/year) = 166 666 666.7 years
