Answer:

Option (b) will be correct answer for accelerating the car

Explanation:

For accelerating the car we have to speed up the car

In option (b) it is given that stepping on the gas pedal to speed up the car so it is correct answer

In option (c) it is given that pressing the pedal to slow down the car it is a case of deceleration so it is a incorrect statement.

In option (d) it is given that speed is constant at curved path so acceleration will be zero because if there is no change in velocity then acceleration will be zero

Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

The acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. It is a vector quantity and its SI unit is m/s^2.

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

$a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

As the car is accelerating, it means we are pushing the accelerating paddle.

So, the stepping on the gas pedal to speed the car up.

Thus, option (a) is correct.

Two iron bolts of equal Mass one at a hundred see another at 55 Sierra place in the insulated cylinder assuming the heat capacit

malfutka [58]

Answer:

$T_2 = 77.5c$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Temp of first bolts $T_1=100$

Temp of 2nd bolt $T_2=55$

Generally the equation showing the relationship between heat & temperature is given by

$q=cm \triangle T$

Generally heat released by the iron bolt = heat gained by the iron bolt

Generally solving mathematically

$-(0.45*m* (T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = 0.45*m*(T_2 -55\textdegree c)$

$-(T_2-100 \textdegree c)) = (T_2 -55 \textdegree c)$

$T_2 +T_2= 100 \textdegree c+55 \textdegree c$

$T_2=\frac{155 \textdegree c}{2}$

$T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$

Therefore $T_2 = 77.5 \textdegree c$ is the final temperature inside the container

How do you convert seconds to minutes, seconds to hours , minutes to seconds and hours to seconds

Bess [88]

Answer:

You could memorize conversions, or use conversion charts, or do a quick internet search for help.

Explanation:

I'll do a few of the conversions for you

Seconds to minutes:

there are 60 seconds in one minute. So if you are wondering how many seconds are in 3 and 1/2 minutes, you would do this conversion:

60 sec/min times x sec/3.5 min

which can be written as 60 x 3.5 = 210. so "x" seconds would be 210 seconds in 3 1/2 minutes.

you could do the same thing in the opposite direction for minutes to seconds:

1 min has 60 seconds. So in 7.25 minutes, how many seconds are there?

1 min/60 sec times 7.25 min/x sec

which can be written as 7.25 x 60 = 435. so "x" seconds would be 435 seconds in 7.25 minutes.

hours to seconds:

this one is slightly more complicated

In one hour there are 60 minutes, and in one minute there are 60 seconds.

so to convert from hours to seconds you would do this conversion:

1 hr/60 min times 1 min/60 sec. then the "min" would cancel out, and you would be left with the label "hr/sec". to do the math, it would be 1 hr / 60 x 60.

60x60 = 3600. so you would have 1 hr/3600 sec. So in one hour there are 3600 seconds.

so if you want to know how many seconds are in 6.75 hours:

6.75 hr/x sec times 3600 sec/1 hr

6.75 x 3600 = 24,300 so there are 24,300 seconds in 6.75 hours.

I hope this helps :)
