You would need to use the equation a= (v-u)÷t
You need to substitute in the correct numbers.
a= (10-20)÷1
Your answer is -10m/s^2

A car at the top of a ramp starts from rest and rolls to the bottom of the ramp, achieving a certain final speed. If you instead
zimovet [89]

Answer:

It must be 4 times high.

Explanation:

  • Assuming that the car can be treated as a point mass, and that the ramp is frictionless, the total mechanical energy must be conserved.
  • This means, that at any time, the following must be true:
  • ΔK (change in kinetic energy) = ΔU (change in gravitational potential energy)

⇒      m*g*h = \frac{1}{2} * m*v^{2}

  • Let's call v₁, to the final speed of the car, and h₁ to the height of the ramp.

       So, at the bottom of the ramp, all the gravitational potential energy

      must be equal to the kinetic energy of the car (Defining the bottom of

      the ramp as our zero reference for the gravitational potential energy):

       m*g*h_{1}  = \frac{1}{2} * m*v_{1} ^{2}  (1)

  • Now, let's do v₂ = 2* v₁
  • Replacing in (1) we get:

        m*g*h_{2}  = \frac{1}{2} * m*(2*v_{1}) ^{2} (2)

  • Dividing (2) by (1), and rearranging terms, we get:
  • h₂ = 4* h₁

How many drops of water are in a 1.0 L bottle? (Hint: Start by estimating the diameter of a drop of water.)
o-na [289]

Answer:

N = 2000 drops approx with 1 cm diameter each

Explanation:

Let the diameter of one drop is 1 cm

so volume of one drop is given by

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi d^3

now we have

V = \frac{1}{6}\pi(0.01)^3

V = 0.53 \times 10^{-6} m^3

now in 1L of liquid let say N drops are there

so we have

1L = 10^{-3} m^3

now we have

N = \frac{10^{-3}}{0.53 \times 10^{-6}}

N = 2\times 10^3

so it will have approx 2000 drops in it with diameter 1 cm each drop

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun
gavmur [86]
A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn. 

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

Volcanoes that have fast flowing liquid lava will be narrow like a river
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Shield volcanoes, the third type of volcano, are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after flow pours out in all directions from a central summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad, gently sloping cone of flat, domical shape, with a profile much like that of a warrior's shield.
