|acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change)
= (10 m/s - 0) / (4 s)
= (10 / 4) (m/s²)
= 2.5 m/s² .
The direction of the acceleration is west.
Virtual upright and the same size
Answer:
25J
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the dog = 10kg
Speed of the dog = 5m/s
Unknown:
The minimum energy required to stop the dog = ?
Solution:
The dog is moving with a kinetic energy and to stop the dog, an equal amount of kinetic energy generated must be applied to the dog.
To find the kinetic energy;
K.E = m v²
m is the mass
v is the velocity
Now insert the parameters and solve;
K.E = x 10 x 5 = 25J
