Longitude was. Determining longitude requires knowing the exact time of day, which was difficult prior to modern clocks. The source book below tells the story of Englishman John Harrison's life-long pursuit of building a reliable clock and its importance to navigation.
Without knowing the structure and methods of his study,
and the methods of selecting the population sample, we
can't tell whether his conclusion is justified or not.
<h3><u>Question</u><u>:</u></h3>
A racing car is travelling at 70 m/s and accelerates at -14 m/s^2. What would the car’s speed be after 3 s?
<h3><u>Statement:</u></h3>
A racing car is travelling at 70 m/s and accelerates at -14 m/s^2.
<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>
- Initial velocity (u) = 70 m/s
- Acceleration (a) = -14 m/s^2
- Time (t) = 3 s
- Let the velocity of the car after 3 s be v m/s
- By using the formula,
v = u + at, we have
- So, the velocity of the car after 3 s is 28 m/s.
<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>
The car's speed after 3 s is 28 m/s.

Answer:
Explanation:
mass of refrigerator, m = 110 kg
coefficient of static friction, μs = 0.85
coefficient of kinetic friction, μk = 0.59
(a) the minimum force required to just start the motion in refrigerator
F = μs x mg
F = 0.85 x 110 x 9.8
F = 916.3 N
(b) The force required to move the refrigerator with constant speed
F' = μk x mg
F' = 0.59 x 110 x 9.8
F' = 636.02 N
(c) Let a be the acceleration.
Net force = Applied force - friction force
F net = 950 - 636.02
F net = 313.98 N
a = F net / mass
a = 313.98 / 110
a = 2.85 m/s²
