It does in the winter and keeps the heat in. During the summer it keeps in the cold air and keeps out the heat.

There is no such thing as"cold", in the same way that there is no such thing
as "darkness" or "quietness". "Darkness" is the absence of light, "quietness"
is the absence of sound, and "cold" is the absence of heat.

Tom should have said that insulation <em>keeps the heat in</em> .

Answer:

9.934 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 0 mi/h

Final speed of the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport = 60 mi/h

Now,

1 mi/h = 0.44704 m / s

thus,

60 mi/h = 0.44704 × 60 = 26.8224 m/s

Time = 2.70 m/s

Now,

The acceleration (a) is given as:

$a=\frac{\textup{Change in speed}}{\textup{Time}}$

thus,

$a=\frac{26.8224 - 0 }{2.70}$

a = 9.934 m/s²

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h

snow_lady [41]

A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds
