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 .

Kobotan [32]
 0.4 x 18 = 7.2 kg m/s

The momentum of the bottle after being hit is 0.2 x 25 = 5 kg m/s

7.2 - 5 = 2.2 kg m/s is the motmentum of the ball now 

 the velocity  is 2.2/0.4 = 5.5 m/s

What is the average speed for the entire graph?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Divide the total distance traveled by the total time spent traveling. This will give you your average speed. . So if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.

Technician A says that side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion. Technician B says that side post te
zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

The fire alarm goes off, and a 75 kg firefighter slides down a pole with a constant acceleration of a = 6 m/s square. What is th
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

450N

Explanation:

Given data

Mass m= 75kg

Acceleration= 6m/s^2

From the Newtons first law, F=ma

substitute

F=75*6

F= 450N

Hence the force is 450N
