A car changes velocity at a constant acceleration of 2.5m/s to reach 43.7m/s in 2.7 s how fast was the car moving when it began

to accelerate?

The formula we can use in this case is:

v = v0 + a t

where v is final velocity, v0 is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So finding for v0:

v0 = v – a t

v0 = 43.7 – (2.5) 2.7

v0 = 36.95 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

We may notice that change in velocity can be obtained by calculating areas between acceleration lines and horizontal axis ("Time"). Mathematically, we know that:

$v_{b}-v_{a} = \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

$v_{b} = v_{a}+ \int\limits^{t_{b}}_{t_{a}} {a(t)} \, dt$

Where:

$v_{a}$ , $v_{b}$ - Initial and final velocities, measured in meters per second.

$t_{a}$ , $t_{b}$ - Initial and final times, measured in seconds.

$a(t)$ - Acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

Acceleration is the slope of velocity, as we know that each line is an horizontal one, then, velocity curves are lines with slopes different of zero. There are three region where velocities should be found:

Region I (t = 0 s to t = 4 s)

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{4\,s}_{0\,s} {\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{4} = 2\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (4\,s-0\,s)$

$v_{4} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region II (t = 4 s to t = 6 s)

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{6\,s}_{4\,s} {\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{6} = -6\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(1\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (6\,s-4\,s)$

$v_{6} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Region III (t = 6 s to t = 10 s)

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s} +\int\limits^{10\,s}_{6\,s} {\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)} \, dt$

$v_{10} = -4\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (10\,s-6\,s)$

$v_{10} = 4\,\frac{m}{s}$

Finally, we draw the object's velocity graph as follows. Graphic is attached below.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

FromTheMoon [43]

Yes. There is a substantial number of people ... members of Brainly as well as non-members ... students, puzzle solvers, and just average educated thinkers, who would be able to solve it.

Suppose you are on an airplane moving at high speed. If you flip a coin straight up it will land in your lap rather than a great

maxonik [38]

It will land in your lap because there's different frames of motion relative to yourself. For example, if you're running at a speed of 6 mph, it doesn't mean you'll run as fast as the Earth spins. Also, since you're on the interior of the plane, any kind of wind or weather on the outside will not affect the coin. A law to back up this claim is Einsteins Special Law of Relativity.
