Let’s calculate Ms Jackson’s acceleration as she comes to a stop. Remember that the formula for acceleration is the change in ve
Natali [406]

Answer:

-1.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is equal to the change in velocity of the object divided by the time taken for the object to change the velocity:

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

where:

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For Ms Jackson in this problem, we have:

u = 6 m/s (initial velocity)

v = 0 m/s (final velocity)

t = 4 s (time elapsed)

Substituting into the equation, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{0-6}{4}=-1.5 m/s^2

And the negative sign indicates that the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of motion.

A typical tire for a compact car is 22 inches in diameter. If the car is traveling at a speed of 60 mi/hr, find the number of re
Softa [21]

Answer:

rpm= 916.7436 rev/min

Explanation:

First determine the perimeter of the wheel, to know the horizontal distance it travels in a revolution:

perimeter= π×diameter= π × 22 inches × 0.0254(m/inche)= 1.7555m

Time we divide the speed of the car, which is the distance traveled horizontally over time unit, by the perimeter of the wheel that is the horizontal distance traveled in a revolution, this dates us the revolutions over the time unit:

revolutions per time= velocity/perimeter

velocity= (60 mi/hr) × (1609.34m/mi) = 96560m/h

revolutions per time= (96560.6m/h) / (1.7555m)= 55004.614 rev/hr

rpm= (55004.614 rev/hr) × (hr/60min)= 916.7436 rev/min

You drive 773 miles east, then turn around and drive 773 miles west. What is your displacement, to the nearest mile?
Oliga [24]

Answer:0miles

Explanation:

Since they are moving opposite direction we say

Displacement =773-773

Displacement =0miles

A 20 newton weight is attached to a spring, causing it to stretch, as shown in the diagram below. What is the spring constant of
Whitepunk [10]

A 20.-N force stretches the spring by 1.00 m - 0.50 m = 0.50 m, so by Hooke's law the spring constant is k such that

20. N = k (0.50 m)

⇒   k = (20. N) / (0.50 m) = 40 N/m
