Average Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                             =   15 m/s - 24 m/s  =  -9 m/s

Acceleration =  (-9 m/s) / (12 sec) =  - 0.75 m/s² .

Which is most likely the length of a student’s textbook?
UkoKoshka [18]

For this case, what we must do is to rewrite these measurements in the same unit in order to compare them.

By writing the measurements in meters we have:

30 mm = (30) * (\frac{1}{1000}) = 0.030 m

30 cm = (30) * (\frac{1}{100}) = 0.30 m

30 dm = (30) * (\frac{1}{10}) = 3 m\\30 Hm = (30) * (100) = 3000 m

Therefore, physically the correct measure is:

0.30 m = 30 cm

Answer:

the length of a student's textbook most likely is:

30 centimeters

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is K.E1/2mv2 so that means it is directly proportional to mass and velocity.

A spring with a mass on the end of it hangs in equilibrium a distance of 0.4200 m above the floor. The mass is pulled down a dis
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.48 m

Explanation:

I'm assuming that this takes place in an ideal situation, where we neglect a host of factors such as friction, weight of the spring and others

If the mass is hanging from equilibrium at 0.42 m above the floor, from the question, and it is then pulled 0.06 m below that particular position. This pulling is a means of adding more energy into the spring, when it is released, the weight compresses the spring and equals its distance (i.e, 0.06 m) above the height.

0.42 m + 0.06 m = 0.48 m

At the highest point thus, the height is 0.48 m above the ground.
