A train accelerated from 5 km/hr in 0.5 hours. what was the rate of acceleration?

1 answer:

5 0

Acceleration is the simply rate of change in velocity, how much faster or slower is the object changing speed with respect to time.

A = v/t = 5 km/hr/0.5 hr

5/1/2 = 5 • 2 = 10 km/hr^2.

This would be the acceleration.

An object begins with a speed of 20 meters per second and slows down to a speed of 10 meters per second over a time of 5 seconds

Andreyy89

Answer:

V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of an object is 20 m/s

Final speed of an object is 10 m/s

Time, t = 5 s

We need to find the average speed of the object during these 5 seconds. Let it is equal to V. Here, time is same. The average speed is given by :

$V=\dfrac{x+y}{2}\\\\\text{Putting values}\\\\V=\dfrac{20+10}{5}\\\\V=6\ m/s$

So, the average speed of the object is 6 m/s.

Which quantity is most closely related to the speed of gas particles

natali 33 [55]

Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecules and energy is related to speed.

The water in a pot is heated by convection. The water on the bottom will warm up and rise toward the surface and the cooler water will then sink to the bottom where it will be heated. 

Oxygen will form ionic bonds with nitrogen. The others will not by themselves. 

A high pH is indicative of a basic solution. HCl and H2SO4 are both strong acids and will result in a lower (more acidic) pH. Water is the standard. KOH is a strong base and will increase the pH. 

An acidic solid will lower the pH of a solution. pH measures the number of hydrogen ions and a lower pH will mean that there are more H+ ions, but the solid could just have reacted with the OH- to cause the pH to decrease

Why heat capacity for polymer higher than metal?

jok3333 [9.3K]

Because polymers are covalently bonded material, and metals are metalicly bonded material.

Covalent bonds do not let atoms exchange electrons like metalic bonds do.

A 1500 kg car traveling at 15.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4500 kg truck that is at rest at a stopligt. The car comes to a

Burka [1]

Answer:

5 m/s, moving to the South.

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of car, m = 1500 kg

Initial velocity of car, u = 15 m/s

Mass of truck, M = 4500 kg

Initial velocity of truck, v = 0 m/s (Truck is at rest)

Final velocity of car, U = 0 m/s (Car comes to a stop)

Final velocity of truck = V

Because the collision is elastic, we can apply the principle of conservation of momentum, we have that:

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m*u + M*U = m*v + M*V

(1500 * 15) + (4500 * 0) = (1500 * 0) + (4500 * V)

22500 + 0 = 0 + 00V

=> V = 22500/4500

V = 5 m/s

The velocity carries a positive sign, hence, it's moving in the same direction as the car was moving initially.

That is, it's moving to the South.

A flashlight converts?

sammy [17]

Answer:

Energy conversion in flashlight.

Explanation:

When the switch of a flashlight is on, then the batteries inside them will be connected in a circuit and chemical energy from the batteries will be converted into electrical energy and then the electrical energy will be converted into light energy.

Light energy is also called electromagnetic energy.

Hence, among the given options the correct one is the first option that is:

1. Electrical energy into electromagnetic energy is the answer.
