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

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Change in speed = (10 mph) - (50 mph) = -40 mph

Acceleration = (-40 mi/hr) / (4 sec)

<em>Acceleration = -10 mi/hr-sec</em>

To get a more comfortable, familiar unit for the answer . . .

Acceleration =

(-10 mile/hour-second) x (1,609.3 meter/mile) x (1 hour / 3,600 sec)

Acceleration = (-10 x 1,609.3 / 3,600) (mile-meter-hour / hour-sec-mile-sec)

<em>Acceleration = -4.47 m/s²</em>

In which direction does the sun appear to move across the sky?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

If we consider a system where the y-axis as the South-North line, and the x-axis as the West-East line (where North and East are the positive sides)

We know that the sun goes from East to West, so in our system, the sun goes from the positive side of the x-axis to the negative side of the x-axis.

Where we would see this if we were standing right in the equator line.

If we where in other point of the planet, the Sun will stil move from East to West, but it will have a little tilt along the path, so we will have a little displacement in the y-axis. This displacement will depend on where we are, if we are at the North of the equator, we will se that the sun seems to go a little towards South as it goes to the West side.

An oscillating object takes 0.10 s to complete one cycle; that is, its period is 0.10 s. what is its frequency f? express your a
Tems11 [23]
<span>10 hertz Hertz is the frequency of oscillation which is the number of oscillations per second. So if something takes 0.10 s per oscillation, divide 1 second by the period to get the frequency. So 1 / 0.10s = 10 1/s = 10 Hertz Therefore the object is vibrating at 10 hertz.</span>

Sara is riding her bike down the road at 35 km/hr. She starts to peddle faster as she
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Distance covered to top of the hill was : 1.755 km

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 35 km/hr

Acceleration = 2.0 km/hr²

Time taken to accelerate = 3 minutes = 3/60 hours = 1/20 hours

Formula for acceleration : a = Δv /t  

v-u/t    ---where u is initial velocity , v is final velocity and t is time taken for acceleration

v- 35 / 0.05 = 2

v = 35.10 km/h

Formula for distance is product of speed and time

Distance covered = 35.10 * 0.05 = 1.755 km
