Answer:

-1.03 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity. The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s².

Mathematically, acceleration is expressed as

a = (v-u)/t ........................ Equation 1

Where a = acceleration, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t  = time.

Given: u = 13.60 m/s, v = 7.20 m/s t = 6.2 s.

Substituting into equation 2

a = (7.20-13.60)/6.2

a = -6.4/6.2

a = -1.03 m/s²

Note: a is negative because, the hockey puck is decelerating.

Hence the average acceleration = -1.03 m/s²

What do you mean by kinetic energy and potential energy ?
Verizon [17]

  • Kinetic Energy of an object is the measure of the work an object can do by virtue of its motions..

  • Formula - KE = 1/2 mv^2

  • Where KE is the kinetic energy, m is the body’s mass, and v is the body’s velocity.

  • Potential energy is the stored energy in any object or system by virtue of its position or arrangement of parts..

  • Formula - W = mgh

Where,

. m is the mass in kilograms

. g is the acceleration due to gravity

. h is the height in meters

Hope it helpz~ uh..

Which of the following is a TRUE
DENIUS [597]

The statement that is the most true regarding the states of matter is the first statement.

A. Most matter on Earth exists as a solid, liquid, or gas.

This is correct since most of the matter on Earth exists in those 3 states, meanwhile plasma is not a state that most of matter on earth is found in since it is mostly associated to stars and the external galactic regions.

Therefore, B is incorrect.

C is false, since almost of all of the matter on earth can transform and change through each of the 3 states of matter, solid, liquid, and gas.

D is false since most of the matter in universe is actually made out of plasma instead of a liquid. In fact, over 99% of the known universe's matter is said to consist of plasma.

Granite is mostly used in building work places whereas Gneiss is used for making tombstones, flooring, etc. Why do you think so?
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Granite is durable, as it is hard and tough.

Gneiss has resistance to pressure and mechanical impacts

Explanation:

Granite is an igneous rock. It is mostly used in building works and construction because they are very durable. They are hard and tough and they have no internal structures.

Gneiss is used for flooring, ornamental stone, tombstones because of the fact that it shows resistances to pressure and also mechanical impacts.

<u>how they are formed in nature:</u>

In nature, granite is formed from the cooling down of hot molten magma and it's solidification before it reaches the surface of the earth.

In nature, gneiss is as a result of igneous rock or sedimentary rocks metamorphosing. Gneiss and granite are kind of similar. When subjected to great heat, granite becomes gneiss
