<h2>Average acceleration of the particle during the 2.4 s interval is -20 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u =  18 m/s

     Final velocity, v =  -30 m/s    

     Time, t = 2.4 s

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      -30 = 18 + a x 2.4

                      a = -20 m/s²

     Acceleration is -20 m/s²

Average acceleration of the particle during the 2.4 s interval is -20 m/s²

1) A plane lands on a runway with a speed of 125 m/s, moving east, and it slows to a stop in 13.0 s. What is the magnitude (in m
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: 1) a = 9.61m/s² pointing to west.

             2) (a) Δv = - 37.9km/s

                  (b) a = - 6.10⁷km/years

Explanation: Aceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.

1) For the plane:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

a=\frac{125}{13}

a = 9.61m/s²

The plane is moving east, so velocity points in that direction. However, it is stopping at the time of 13s, so acceleration's direction is in the opposite direction. Therefore, acceleration points towards west.

2) Total change of velocity:

\Delta v = v_{f}-v_{i}

\Delta v = -17.1-(+20.8)

\Delta v= -37.9km/s

The interval is in years, so transforming seconds in years:

v = \frac{-37.9}{3.15.10^{-7}}

v=-12.03.10^{7}km/years

Calculating acceleration:

a=\frac{-12.03.10^{-7}}{2.01}

a=-6.10^{7}

Acceleration of an asteroid is a = -6.10⁷km/years .

1. Define friction. Name and describe two kinds of friction.
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

Friction is a force that holds back the movement of a sliding object.

Explanation:

The two types of friction: Static friction and Kinetic friction.  Static friction operates between two surfaces that aren't moving relative to each other, while kinetic friction acts between objects in motion.

You are in Paris, 60 m up in the Eiffel Tower. If you throw a euro downward at a velocity of 2.0 m/s, how long would it take the
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

t = 3.29 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Height of the Eiffel tower is 60 m

Initial speed of a euro, u = 2 m/s

It will move under the action of gravity in the downward direction. Firstly, we can find the final velocity as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\v=\sqrt{u^2+2ad} \\\\v=\sqrt{(2)^2+2\times 9.81\times 60} \\\\v=34.36\ m/s

Let t is the time taken by the euro to hit the ground. It can be calculated as :

v=u+at\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{34.36-2}{9.81}\\\\t=3.29\ s

Hence, it will take 3.29 seconds to hit the ground.

Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)
