A car starts from rest and travels for 5.0 s with a uniform acceleration of +1.5 m/s2 . The driver then applies the brakes, caus

ing a uniform acceleration of –2.0 m/s2. If the brakes are applied for 3.0 s, how fast is the car going at the end of the braking period?

The final velocity of the car is +1.5 m/s.

Explanation:

We have to divide the problem into two parts.

In the first part, the car starts from rest and accelerates for 5.0 s. We can find the final velocity of the car after this first part using the suvat equation:

v = u +at

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

a=+1.5 m/s^2 is the acceleration

t = 5.0 s is the time

Substituting,

v=0+(1.5)(5.0)=7.5 m/s

In the second part, the brakes are applied, so the car decelerates for 3.0 s, and the final velocity is given by

v' = v + at

where

v' is the final velocity

v = 7.5 m/s is the velocity at the beginning of this part

a=-2.0 m/s^2 is the deceleration

t = 3.0 s is the time

Substituting,

v'=7.5+(-2.0)(3.0)=+1.5 m/s

So, the final velocity is +1.5 m/s.

katovenus [111]
The correct answer should be c.The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

If the temperature drops that means that the molecules are coming together. If the temperature rises then it means that the molecules are spreading. If the kinetic energy falls down that means that they are slower which means that they are cooler.

250 W 12 km/h<br>4. Convert yoor answer from 3 to meters per second.​
taurus [48]

Answer: 3.33 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the questions is to convert  12 km/h to meter per second (m/s), let's begin:

In order to make the conversion, we have to know the following:

1 km=1000 m

And:

1 h=3600 s

Keeping this in mind, we can make the conversion:

12 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1h}{3600 s}

Then:

12 \frac{km}{h}= 3.33 \frac{m}{s}

ZanzabumX [31]
"This resolving power" was obviously stated earlier, somewhere before the point where you started copying. With no resolving power specified, there's actually no question, and so no answer.
