<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

weeeeeb [17]

Answer

given,

focal length of lens A = 5.77 cm

focal length of lens B= 27.9 cm

flies distance from mirror = 11.3 m

now,

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q}

\dfrac{1}{5.77} = \dfrac{1}{11.3} + \dfrac{1}{q}

q =11.79 cm

image of lens A is object of lens B

distance of lens = 59.9 - 11.79 = 48.11

now, Again applying lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

\dfrac{1}{27.9} = \dfrac{1}{48.11} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

q' =66.41 cm

hence, the image distance from the second lens is equal to q' =66.41 cm

A gas has an initial volume of 212 cm^3 at a temperature of 293 K and a pressure of 0.98 atm. What is the final pressure of the
MatroZZZ [7]
For this we use general equation for gases. Our variables represent:

p- pressure
v-volume
t- temperature

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

in this equation we know:
P1,V1 and T1, T2 and V2. 
We have one equation and 1 unknown variable.

P2 = T2P1V1/T1V2 = 1.1atm

__________ carries carcinogens into the lungs
larisa [96]
Tobacco smoking is an unhealthy habit which can cause cancer due to the presence of more than 5000 chemicals, some of which are carcinogens (a chemical that causes cancer). It is the smoke itself, that carries carcinogens to the lungs and can eventually lead to the development of diseases such as lung cancer.
