When an object undergoes uniform acceleration, its velocity changes by the same amount per unit of time.

For example, a person jumping off a cliff into a pool of water below undergoes a uniform acceleration of approximately 9.81m/s². This means that, for every second that passes, the person's downward velocity increases by 9.81m/s

Uniform acceleration basically means acceleration that is constant, the same speed or velocity the whole time. Nothing more to add really.

Two buses are driving along parallel freeways that are 5mi apart, one heading east and the other heading west. Assuming that eac

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

101.54m/h

Explanation:

Given that the buses are 5mi apart, and that they are both driving at the same speed of 55m/h, rate of change of distance can be determined using differentiation as;

Let l be the be the distance further away at which they will meet from the current points;

$l=\sqrt{13^2-5^2}=12m\\\\\frac{dl}{dt}=-(55m/h+55m/h})\\\\=-110m/h$ #The speed toward each other.

$\frac{dh}{dt}=0, \ \ \ \ h=constant\\\\h^2+l^2=b^2\\\\2h\frac{dh}{dt}+2l\frac{dl}{dt}=2b\frac{db}{dt}\\\\2\times5\times0+2\times12\times(-110)=2\times13\frac{db}{dt}\\\\\frac{db}{dt}=-101.54m/h$

Hence, the rate at which the distance between the buses is changing when they are 13mi apart is 101.54m/h

Water in a tank is pressurized by air and pressure measured using a multi-fluid manometer. Determine the gage pressure of air in

sattari [20]

Answer:

The gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, $P_{atm}$ = 101 Kpa

$P_{gauge} + \rho_w gh_1 + \rho_o gh_2 -\rho_{Hg} gh_3 =P_{atm}$

$P_{gauge} = P_{atm} - \rho_w gh_1 - \rho_o gh_2 +\rho_{Hg} gh_3$

where;

ρw is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ρo is the density of oil = 800 kg/m³

ρHg is the density of mercury = 13,600 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

$P_{gauge} = 101,000 - (1000* 9.8*0.2) - (800* 9.8*0.3) +(13,600* 9.8*0.46)\\\\P_{gauge} = 101,000 - 1960 - 2352 + 13610.26\\\\P_{gauge} = 110,298.26 pa$
