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.

When a piece of metal mass of 72.17 g is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The trick is in finding the volume.

Final Volume = 26.64

Initial Volume=<u>20.92</u>                   Subtract

Metal Volume  5.72  cm^3

Density = mass / volume

Density = 72.17 / 5.72

Density = 12.617

1. Two charges Q1( + 2.00 μC) and Q2( + 2.00 μC) are placed along the x-axis at x = 3.00 cm and x=-3 cm. Consider a charge Q3 of
Masja [62]

Answer:

speed when it reaches y = 4.00cm is

v = 14.9 g.m/s

Explanation:

given

q₁=q₂ =2.00 ×10⁻⁶

distance along x = 3.00cm= 3×10⁻²

q₃= 4×10⁻⁶C

mass= 10×10 ⁻³g

distance along y = 4×10⁻²m

r₁ = \sqrt{3^{2} +2^{2}  } = \sqrt{13} = 3.61cm = 0.036m

r₂ = \sqrt{4^{2} + 3^{2}  } = \sqrt{25} = 5cm = 0.05m

electric potential V = \frac{kq}{r}

change in potential ΔV = V_{1} - V_{2}

ΔV = \frac{2kq_{1} }{r_{1}} - \frac{2kq_{2} }{r_{2} } , where q_{1} = q_{2}=2.00μC

ΔV = 2kq(\frac{1}{r_{1}} - \frac{1}{r_{2} })

ΔV = 2 × 9×10⁹ × 2×10⁻⁶ × (\frac{1}{0.036} - \frac{1}{0.05} )

ΔV= 2.789×10⁵

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = ΔV × q₃

\frac{1}{2} ˣ 10×10⁻³ ×v² = 2.789×10⁵× 4 ×10⁻⁶

v² = 223.12 g.m/s

v = 14.9 g.m/s

A wagon with an initial velocity of 2 m/s and a mass of 60 kg, gets a push with 150 joules of
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

v_f = 3 m/s

Explanation:

From work energy theorem;

W = K_f - K_i

Where;

K_f is final kinetic energy

K_i is initial kinetic energy

W is work done

K_f = ½mv_f²

K_i = ½mv_i²

Where v_f and v_i are final and initial velocities respectively

Thus;

W = ½mv_f² - ½mv_i²

We are given;

W = 150 J

m = 60 kg

v_i = 2 m/s

Thus;

150 = ½×60(v_f² - 2²)

150 = 30(v_f² - 4)

(v_f² - 4) = 150/30

(v_f² - 4) = 5

v_f² = 5 + 4

v_f² = 9

v_f = √9

v_f = 3 m/s

Despite the use of diffrent types of measurement in our country<br>​
stealth61 [152]

Answer: For standardization purposes

Explanation:

As the question mentions, there were different types of measurements in the country for the same things so measuring a thing in one type of measurement and then comparing it to another was quite cumbersome.

It also made comparing units with the rest of the world difficult. To combat this the SI system was introduced. It gave an international standard for measuring different things based on the metric system. This allowed for worldwide standardization and comparison as things could now be measured in the same units.

How do amps correlate to brightness?
Nezavi [6.7K]
The watts determine the brightness. Watt is the unit of Power. And Power is equal to Voltage x Amps (current). So both the current and voltage determine the brightness.
