Andy is waiting at the signal. As soon as the light turns green, he accelerates his car at a uniform rate of 8.00 meters/second2

. What is the displacement of Andy’s car after 30.0 seconds?

-- The car starts from rest, and goes 8 m/s faster every second.

-- After 30 seconds, it's going (30 x 8) = 240 m/s.

-- Its average speed during that 30 sec is  (1/2) (0 + 240) = 120 m/s

-- Distance covered in 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s 

                                                                           = <span> 3,600 meters .</span>
___________________________________

The formula that has all of this in it is the formula for 
distance covered when accelerating from rest:

       Distance = (1/2) · (acceleration) · (time)²

                       = (1/2) ·      (8 m/s²)     · (30 sec)²

                       =      (4 m/s²)          ·      (900 sec²)

                       =            3600 meters.

_________________________________

When you translate these numbers into units for which
we have an intuitive feeling, you find that this problem is 
quite bogus, but entertaining nonetheless.

When the light turns green, Andy mashes the pedal to the metal
and covers almost 2.25 miles in 30 seconds. 

How does he do that ?

By accelerating at 8 m/s².  That's about 0.82 G  !

He does zero to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, and at the end
of the 30 seconds, he's moving at 534 mph !  

He doesn't need to worry about getting a speeding ticket.
Police cars and helicopters can't go that fast, and his local
police department doesn't have a jet fighter plane to chase
cars with.

Which element does not nomally form chemical bonds?
Kruka [31]
The element that does not normally form chemical bonds is Xenon.
Reasoning: Xenon is a noble gas and is located in group 18. Noble gases already has a full outer shell of a electron therefore they do not bond, unless with each other.

HOPE THIS HELPS! ^_^

Downwelling is the process that moves cold, dense water from the ocean surface to the seafloor near the polar regions. how can d
mash [69]

Explanation:

Downwelling is the process where cold and heavy dense water moves down into the ocean floor and warm light dense water rises to the surface. As a result of downwelling, the water high dense water which rises to the water surface brings the oxygen rich water to the surface for the marine animals to breathe properly. Also when the ocean surface water becomes little warmer it becomes a little comfortable for the marine animals to survive in this severely cold climatic conditions at polar reasons.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em>Hello, </em>

<h3><u>QUESTION)</u></h3>

Assuming that the initial velocity of the jumper is zero, on Earth any freely falling object has an acceleration of 9.8 m/s².  

<em>✔ We have : a = v/Δt = ⇔ Δt = v/a </em>

  • Δt = (√2xgxh)/9,8
  • Δt = (14√10)/9,8
  • Δt ≈ 4,5 s

What is the frequency of an x- ray if the wavelength is 4.5 E - 10m?
AnnZ [28]
V (speed) = F (frequency) x Wavelength
If we rearrange the formula, making frequency the subject;
F (frequency) = Speed ÷ Wavelength
F = 300,000 m\s x 4.5 e -10m
F = 0.08810409956 Hz
