Answer:
-2.83 m/s²
Explanation:
- Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
- Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
- Time taken (t) = 6 seconds
❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.
→ a = (v - u)/t
- v denotes final velocity
- a denotes acceleration
- u denotes initial velocity
- t denotes time
→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²
→ a = -17/6 m/s²
<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>
(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)
Centripetal acceleration is (speed-squared) / (radius)
CA = (6 m/s)² / (9 m)
CA = (36 m²/s²) / (9 m)
CA = (36/9) (m²/m·s²)
<em>Centripetal acceleration = 4 m/s²</em>
<span> Use the Law of Cosines, where you have a triangle with included angle of 145 degrees and sides of 16 and 18. You are then solving the equation: </span>
<span>d^2 = 16^2 + 18^2 - 2(16)(18)cos(145) </span>
