Answer:

$a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, for this uniformly accelerated motion in which the car starts from rest at 0 m/s and travels 18 m in 3.0 s, we can compute the acceleration by using the following equation:

$x_f=x_0+v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

Whereas the final distance is 18 m, the initial distance is 0 m, the initial velocity is 0 m/s and the time is 3.0 s, that is why the acceleration turns out:

$a=\frac{2(x_f-v_ot)}{t^2} =\frac{2(18m-0m/s*3.0s)}{(3.0s)^2}\\ \\a=4\frac{m}{s^2}$

Best regards.

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but

Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction. The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km. But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

The diameter of an atom is 1.1×10−10m and the diameter of its nucleus is 1.0×10−14m. Part A What percent of the atom's volume is

77julia77 [94]

To solve this problem we will use the basic concept given by the Volume of a sphere with which the atom approaches. The fraction in percentage terms would be given by the division of the total volume of the nucleus by that of the volume of the atom, that is,

$\% Percent = \frac{V_{nucleus}}{V_{atom}}*100$
