Answer:

Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time.

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by :

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

Where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

t is the time taken

It is a vector quantity. Its SI unit is m/s^2

(v-u) is called the change in speed of the object. So, the correct statement is ''Acceleration equals the change in velocity divided by time''.

1) Andrea and Chuck are riding on a merry-go-round. Andrea rides on a horse at the outer rim of the circular platform, twice as
telo118 [61]

Explanation:

The tangential speed of Andrea is given by :

v=r\omega

Where

r is radius of the circular path

ω is angular speed

The merry-go-round is rotating at a constant angular speed. Let the new distance from the center of the circular platform is r'

r' = 2r

New angular speed,

v'=r'\omega'\\\\v'=(2r)\omega\\\\v'=2r\omega\\\\v'=2v

New angular speed is twice that of the Chuck's speed.

A car moving west slows down from a velocity of 50 m/s to 20 m/s in 15 seconds. What is its acceleration?
velikii [3]
Vf = Vo + at

Vf = 20 m/s
Vo = 50 m/s
a = ? 
t = 15

Therefore

20 = 50 + 15a

20 - 50 = 15a

-30 = 15a

a = -30 / 15

a = -2 m/s²

Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action. T/F
VLD [36.1K]

Positive feedback interactions in earth’s systems are always a result of human action is a FALSE statement.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth is a unstable equilibrium which tends to move out of equilibrium, but several other factors try to bring it back in equilibrium again. Earth has a different actions going on both on its surface and also inside it.

Human can alter, or can modify a very small part of the events that occur on earth’s surface. But they don’t have any control on what’s going inside earth’s core. So positive feedback interactions are not only the results of human interaction, but also different other factors.
