A truck was traveling at 16.6 miles per second and accelerates at a rate of 2.0 meters per second squared then time is required for the truck to reach a speed of 25 miles per second is 6759 s.

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change in displacement while acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. Acceleration may be positive or negative. Acceleration is positive when the velocity of the object is increases and it is negative when velocity of the object is decreases. Negative acceleration is also called deceleration.

Mathematically

a = \frac{(v_{f} - v_{i})}{t}

Where a is the acceleration of the object, v_{f} is the final velocity of the object and  v_{i} is the initial velocity of the object. t is equal to time taken.

Given data:

v_{f} = 25 miles/s

v_{i} = 16.6 miles/s

a = 2.0 m/s²

t = ?

As velocities and acceleration given in different units, So we need to convert to obtain same units. Here we convert unit of acceleration  from m/s² to miles/s².

1 m/s² = 0.000621371192 miles/s²

2 m/s² = 0.00124274238 miles/s²

So,

a = 0.00124274238 miles/s²

Apply formula

a =\frac{v_{f} - v_{i}}{t}

t = \frac{(v_{f} - v_{i})}{a}

t = \frac{(25 - 16.6)}{0.00124274238}

t = 6759 s

A 878-kg (1940 lb) dragster, starting from rest, attains a speed of 25.9 m/s (57.9 mph) in 0.62 s. (a) Find the average accelera
salantis [7]

Answer:

41.8m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the dragster starts from rest, initial velocity (u) = 0m/s, final velocity (v) = 25.9m/s, time (t) = 0.62s

From the equations of motion, v = u + at

a = (v - u)/t = (25.9 - 0)/0.62 = 25.9/0.62 = 41.8m/s^2

What are 7 examples of potential energy
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

<em>Hewo Otaku Kun Here! (UwU)</em>

Explanation:

1. A rock sitting at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. If the rock falls, the potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy.

2. Tree branches high up in a tree have potential energy because they can fall to the ground.

3. A stick of dynamite has chemical potential energy that would be released when the activation energy from the fuse comes into contact with the chemicals.

4. The food we eat has chemical potential energy because as our body digests it, it provides us with energy for basic metabolism.

5. A stretched spring in a pinball machine has elastic potential energy and can move the steel ball when released.

6. When a crane swings a wrecking ball up to a certain height, it gains more potential energy and has the ability to crash through buildings.

7. A set of double "A" batteries in a remote control car possess chemical potential energy which can supply electricity to run the car.

<em>happy to help!</em>
