V-V₀=at
a=(V-V₀)/t
a=(10-20)/5=-2 m/s²

Why does increasing the number trials increase confidence in the results of the experiment?
IceJOKER [234]
If you increase the number of trials in an experiment it will make the test more valid and legitimate.As you take the same test/experiment once or twice you could see if your results are similar to each other.

A 5kg box slides across the floor with an initial velocity of 5m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and t
4vir4ik [10]

The net force on the block perpendicular to the floor is

∑ F[perp] = F[normal] - mg = 0

so that

F[normal] = (5 kg) g = 49 N

Then

F[friction] = 0.1 F[normal] = 4.9 N

so that the net force parallel to the floor is

∑ F[para] = -4.9 N = (5 kg) a

Solve for the acceleration a :

a = (-4.9 N) / (5 kg) = -0.98 m/s²

Starting with an initial velocity of 5 m/s, the box comes to a stop after time t such that

0 = 5 m/s - (0.98 m/s²) t

⇒   t ≈ 5.1 s

Chemical energy stored in food cannot be transformed into mechanical energy true or false
Orlov [11]
If that statement were true, then you would never have any reason to eat.
It might taste good for a while, but it would never help you stand up and
move around.

Where WOULD you get the energy to stand up and walk, if it didn't
come from food ? ?

The whole idea is pretty absurd.  I guess the statement is not true.

Find the magnitude of acceleration (ft/s^2) a person experiences when he or she is texting and driving 58mph, hits a wall, and c
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².
