So the initial velocity is 15 m/s, the final velocity is 0 since it's at a complete stop and time is 10 seconds.  Therefore:

Acceleration=\frac{v_{final}-v_{initial}}{t_{final}-t_{initial}} =\frac{0m/s-15m/s}{10s-0s} =-1.5\frac{m}{s^2}

Therefore, the acceleration is -1.5 m/s^2.  The reason it's negative is due to the fact that the vector is going against it's original movement since it's decelerating.

Hello!

A car traveling at 15 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 10 seconds. What is it's acceleration ?

We have the following data:

Vi (initial velocity) = 15 m/s (starts)

Vf (final velocity) = 0 m/s (stop)

t (time) = 10 s

a (acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)

<u><em>We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let us see:</em></u>

V_f = V_i + a*t

0 = 15 + a*10

- 15 = 10\:a

10\:a = - 15

a = \dfrac{-15}{10}

\boxed{\boxed{a = - 1.5\:m/s^2}}\Longrightarrow(the\:car\:slows\:down)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}

<u><em>Answer:  </em></u>

<u><em>The acceleration is -1.5 m/s² (decelerate)  </em></u>

The atomic mass of an element is defined as the weighted average mass of that element’s
marishachu [46]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Atomic mass (Also called Atomic Weight, although this denomination is incorrect, since the mass is property of the body and the weight depends on the gravity) Mass of an atom corresponding to a certain chemical element). The uma (u) is usually used as a unit of measure. Where u.m.a are acronyms that mean "unit of atomic mass". This unit is also usually called Dalton (Da) in honor of the English chemist John Dalton.

It is equivalent to one twelfth of the mass of the nucleus of the most abundant isotope of carbon, carbon-12. It corresponds roughly to the mass of a proton (or a hydrogen atom). It is abbreviated as "uma", although it can also be found by its English acronym "amu" (Atomic Mass Unit). However, the recommended symbol is simply "u".

<u> The atomic masses of the chemical elements are usually calculated with the weighted average of the masses of the different isotopes of each element taking into account the relative abundance of each of them</u>, which explains the non-correspondence between the atomic mass in umas, of an element, and the number of nucleons that harbors the nucleus of its most common isotope.

Why were quasars and active galaxies not initially recognized as being “special” in some way?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

In the past, astronomers look into the sky and the universe as a whole with an idea that it is a place where stars are born, transition through their life stages and ultimately die and this is because they couldnt differentiate between stars, quasars and active galaxies because with advanced equipment, they all look similar but as they technological ages arrived, they were able see that they are not the same.

As an ice cube melts, its molecules
fomenos

Answer:

A. absorb heat energy and move farther apart

Explanation:

The answer is A since when a ice cube takes in heat, it changes form and melts down to a liquid : water.

The molecules in water are farther apart since they are moving around alot but can be contained in a container.
