A shark is swimming at 10 m/s west when it spots some floating bait caught in some seaweed straight ahead. After 10 s, and trave

ling at a velocity of 15 m/s, the shark reaches the bait. What was the shark's average acceleration? A. 0.5 m/s² B. 0.5 m/s² east C. 0.5 m/s² west D. 10 m/s²

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The average acceleration is </u><u>0.5 m/s² west</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As we know that

Acceleration =  

Putting the values

Acceleration =

Acceleration = 0.5

Since the shark was moving in west so the Acceleration will be in west too

Answer:

C. 0.5 m/s² west

Explanation:

The shark average acceleration is given by the following equation:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where:

u = 10 m/s west is the initial velocity of the shark

v = 15 m/s west is the final velocity

t = 10 s is the time taken

Plugging numbers into the formula, we find

a=\frac{15 m/s-10 m/s}{10 s}=0.5 m/s^2

and the direction is west, because the shark speeds up in the same direction of the initial velocity, so the acceleration is positive and therefore in the same direction.

A plane is flying east when it drops some supplies to a designated target below. The supplies land after falling for 10 seconds.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

solution:

As Given plane is flying in east direction.

It throws back some supplies to designated target.

Time taken by the supply to reach the target =10 seconds

g = Acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²[Taken negative as object is falling Downwards]

As we have to find distance from the ground to plane which is given by d.

d = \frac{1}{2}\times g\times t^2

 = \frac{1}{2}\times (9.8) \times(100) =50\times 9.8=490 meters

Distance from the ground where supplies has to be land  to plane  =  Option B =490 meters

A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 3 volt it delivers 30% store energy to lamp what is the final potential diff
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

3.98V

Explanation:

Given

Pontential difference V as 3v

Energy delivered is 30%,

Recall that Enery E=1/2cv^2 from this E=V^2(since Current C is not provided we can assume a value 2)

So E=V^2

E=3^2=9

At full charge E=9,30%of 9,0.3*9=2.7 energy in capacitor is 9-2.7=6.3

But E=V^2

✓E=V

✓6.3=3.98V
