Which statement best explains acceleration?

Acceleration is just how fast velocity is changing in a certain time. Simply subtract the final velocity from initial velocity, then take that number and divide that by the change in time. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's the same formula you use to find the slope of a line. If you've done calculus, it's finding the secant line, which means you've found the average acceleration using the (change in v)/(change in t). If you need the instantaneous acceleration, you need to take the derivative of your function at a certain time(also calculus.) ignore the last two sentences if you haven't taken calc1

A plane flies at 400 north of East for 150 miles,then flies 200 miles at an angle of 150 west of North. What is the plane's fina

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

341.46miles

Explanation:

Find the diagram attachment.

To get the displacement D, we will use the cosine rule as shown;

D² = 200²+150²-2(160)(400)cos65°

D² = 40000+22500-128000cos65°

D² = 62500+54095.14

D² = 116595.14

D = √116595.14

D= 341.46 miles

Hence the plane final displacement is 341.46miles

Two forces, one four times as large as the other, pull in the same direction on a 10kg mass and impart to it an acceleration of

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The acceleration of the mass is 2 meters per square second.

Explanation:

By Newton's second law, we know that force ( $F$ ), measured in newtons, is the product of mass ( $m$ ), measured in kilograms, and net acceleration ( $a$ ), measured in meters per square second. That is:

$F = m\cdot a$ (1)

The initial force applied in the mass is:

$F = (10\,kg)\cdot \left(2.5\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)$

$F = 25\,N$

In addition, we know that force is directly proportional to acceleration. If the smaller force is removed, then the initial force is reduced to $\frac{4}{5}$ of the initial force. The acceleration of the mass is:
