If it takes 10 seconds for a car to reach its top speed of 100 miles per hour, its acceleration would be. Help please

Physics

Answer:

36000 miles/h^{2} or 0.0028 miles/s^{2}

Explanation:

Acceleration is rate of change of speed per unit time. The change in speed is given by deducting the initial speed from final speed. Assuming that the car starts from rest to a top speed of 100 miles per hour, then the change in speed is equivalent to 100-0=100 miles per hour.

Time is given in seconds and converting to hours will be 10/3600

The acceleration will then be

\frac {100*3600}{10}=36000 miles/h^{2}

Alternatively, the change in speed xould be converted to miles per second hence 100/3600 miles per second divided by 10 s then a=\frac {100}{36000}=0.0027777777777 m/s^{2} rounded off as 0.0028 miles/s^{2}

The coefficient of kinetic friction between a suitcase and the floor is 0.272. You may want to review (Pages 196 - 203) . Part A
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The work required to push will be equal to work done by friction . Let  d be the displacement required .

force of friction = mg x μ where m is mass of the suitcase , μ be the coefficient of friction

work done by force of friction

mg x μ x d   = 660

80 x 9.8 x .272 x d = 660

d = 3 .1 m .

What is an electric load ?write with example​
Ganezh [65]

Explanation:

an electrical load is the part of an electrical circuit in which current is transformed into something useful. examples include a lightbulb, a resistor and a motor. a load converts electricity into heat, light or motion. put another way, the part of a circuit that connects to a well-defined output terminal is considered an electrical load.

if the mass of the objects stays the same and their distance from eachother decreases, then the force of gravity between the two
dedylja [7]
Then the force of gravity between them would be quadrupled and so on but the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the separation distance between the two interacting objects which makes more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces

ALWAYS use significant figure rules. Remember that these rules apply to all numbers that are measurements.
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

Well I'm going to go with A.

Explanation:

As per the question the mass of the boy is 40 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the weight of the boy  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 40 kg.

                             Therefore, w = 40 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =392 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 392 N

392 is not an option but I'm guessing you can round down 2 .to option A. 390...?
