Answer:

v = 1.36 cm / y

Explanation:

For this exercise we must assume that the displacement of the plates is constant over time, so we will use the kinematic relationships for the uniform movement

      v = d / t

We reduce the quantities to the SI system

     d = 320 km (1000 m / 1km) (100 cm / 1 m)

     d = 3.2 107 cm

let's calculate

     v = 32.107 / 23.5 106

     v = 1.36 cm / y

A 1300 kg car traveling with a speed of 3.5 m/s executes a turn with a 8.5 m radius of curvature.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

1.4 m/s/s (2.s.f)

Explanation:

The formula for centripetal acceleration is:

a=\frac{v^{2} }{r}, where v is velocity and r is the radius.

In the question we are given the information that the car has a mass of 1300kg, a velocity of 2.5m/s, and a turn radius of 8.5m which are all the values we need. Therefore we can simply substitute in the values to solve the question:

a=\frac{3.5^{2} }{8.5} \\a=1.4

Therefore the centripetal acceleration of the car is 1.4m/s/s. (2.s.f)

Hope this helped!

What is the relationship between balancing equations and the law of conservation of matter
harkovskaia [24]
Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
