Answer: His acceleration is -18.66m/s^2

Explanation:

Ok, the initial speed is 2.8m/s. (we can define the initial direction as the positive direction).

And he wants to stop, so he must accelerate in the opposite direction as the initial movement, then we would have:

a(t) = -A.

So we have a constant, and negative acceleration.

Now, if we want to find the velocity we must integrate over time, and we will get:

v(t) = -A*t + V0

where V0 is the initial velocity, we know that it is 2.8m/s, and t is the time in seconds.

Then the velocity is:

v(t) = -A*t + 2.8m/s.

Now we know that John is brought to rest in 0.15 seconds after he starts slowing down, this means that at t = 0.15 seconds, his velocity is equal to zero.

v(0.15s) = 0m/s = -A*0.15s + 2.8m/s

2.8m/s = A*0.15s

2.8m/s/0.15s = 18.66m/s^2 = A.

So his acceleration is -A, then we have that:

His acceleration is -18.66m/s^2

Gauss law states that the electric flux through any closed surface is proportional to the net electric charge inside the surface. This is expressed mathematically in the form of:

Φ = Q / εo

Where,

Φ = the electric flux = unknown (which we have to find for)

Q = the net electric charge = 5.0 µC = 5 E-6 C

εo = the permittivity of free space = a constant value = 8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2

Plugging in the values into the equation will result in:

Φ = 5 E-6 C / (8.85 E-12 C^2 / N m^2)

Φ = 564,971.75 Wb = <span>5.6 x 10^5 Wb </span>

Answer:

I'm not sure if the directions affect the speed tho

but I think it's 4? cause it's the speed relative to the ground

hope this helps:))

Analogue signals transmit information for such things as _____________.
ivann1987 [24]

Transmission of information in ANY form can be done digitally
or analoguely.

Beginning about 30 years ago, everything slowly started changing
to digital.  Today, all commercial satellite communication, all optical
fiber communication, all internet communication, all computer
communication, all commercial cable communication, all commercial
television, and much of the telephone system, are all digital. 

On your computer ... .pdf,  .jpg, .mp3  etc.  are all digital methods of
moving and storing information.

AM and FM radio are an interesting subject.  They're all still analog.
They could easily be changed to all digital, and it would be a big
improvement, both for the broadcasters and for the listeners. 
BUT ... every AM and FM radio that anybody has now would be
obsolete.   Every single radio would either need to be replaced,
OR you'd need to add a digital decoder to every radio, like we
had to do with our TV sets a few years ago when television
suddenly became all digital.  With AM and FM radios, the decoders
would be bigger, and would cost more, than most of the radios.

And that's why commercial radio broadcasting is still analog.
