Answer:

D. 5.7 m

Explanation:

The acceleration of the car is -8.7 m/s² and the car has an initial speed (u) of 10 m/s. The car said to come to rest, that means that the final velocity (v) of the car is 0 m/s.

To find the distance traveled by the car (s) before complete stop, this equation is being used:

v² = u² + 2as

2as=v^2-u^2\\s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\ Substituting:\\s=\frac{0-10^2}{2*-8.7}\\ s=\frac{-100}{17.4}\\ s=5.7\ m

The car traveled 5.7 m before coming to a complete stop

Why does Alpha Centauri appear to be yellow-white?
viktelen [127]
Actually, the real reason it appears yellow-white is because of the temperature of the star. the stars that are hotter tend to be more blue and the stars that aren’t as hot tend to be more red/orange/yellow.

As more lamps are put into a series circuit, the overall current in the circuit a. Increasesb. Decreasesc. Remains the same
erik [133]

Answer:

b. Decreases

Explanation:

The total resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the individual resistances:

R_T=R_1+R_2+...+R_n (1)

Therefore, as we add more lamps, the total resistance increases (because we add more positive tems in the sum in eq.(1).

The current in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R_T}

where V is the voltage provided by the power source and R_T is the total resistance. We notice that the current, I, is inversely proportional to the total resistance: therefore, when more lamps are added to the series circuit, the total resistance increases, and therefore the current in the circuit decreases.

Two blocks on a frictionless horizontal surface are on a collision course. one block with mass 0.6 kg moves at 0.8 m/s to the ri
Elanso [62]

First we can say that since there is no external force on this system so momentum is always conserved.

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

0.6*0.8 + 1.2*0 = 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.48= 0.6*v_{1f} + 1.2*v_{2f}

0.8  = v_{1f} + 2v_{2f}

now by the condition of elastic collision

v_{2f} - v_{1f} = 0.8 - 0[\tex]now add two equations[tex]3*v_{2f} = 1.6

v_{2f} = 0.533 m/s

also from above equation we have

v_{1f} = -0.267 m/s

So ball of mass 0.6 kg will rebound back with speed 0.267 m/s and ball of mass 1.2 kg will go forwards with speed 0.533 m/s.

Igoryamba
We know that an object floats in a fluid if the density of the object is less than the density of the fluid. When some air or water is heated, it expands. That makes its density less than cooler air or water, so it floats in them.
