A car is travelling at 50km/h. After 12 seconds, it is now travelling at 60km/h. What is the car’s acceleration

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

Change in speed = (60 km/hr) - (50 km/hr) = 10 km/hr

Time for the change = 12 sec

Acceleration = (10 km/hr) / (12 sec)

Acceleration = 0.8333 km/hr-sec

Convert to a unit that we can understand:

Acceleration = (0.8333 km/hr-sec)x(1000 m/km)x(hr/3600sec)

Acceleration = (833.3 / 3600) (m-hr / hr-sec²)

Acceleration = (833.3 / 3600) (m/s²)

<em>Acceleration = 0.231 m/s² </em> or  0.833 km/hr-sec²

How can you justify that force is transferred to lift and throw soil using shovel?<br>​
Natali [406]

Forces are needed to lift, turn, move, open, close, push, pull, and so on. When you throw a ball, you are using force to make the ball move through the air. More than one force can act on an object at the same time.

A stone is dropped from from rest at the top of a mine shaft. It takes 95 seconds for the stone to fall to the bottom of the min
Marianna [84]

Distance of fall from rest,
without air resistance              =  (1/2) (gravity) (time)²

                                             = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (95 sec)²

                                             =  (4.9 m/s²) (9,025 sec²)

                                             =        44,222.5 meters  .

The depth of the mine shaft is five times the height of Mt. Everest !

If a 25 kg lawnmower produces 347 w and does 9514 J of work, for
Igoryamba

Steps 1 and 2)

The variables are W = work, P = power, and t = time. In this case, W = 9514 joules and P = 347 watts.

The goal is to solve for the unknown time t.

-----------------------

Step 3)

Since we want to solve for the time, and we have known W and P values, we use the equation t = W/P

-----------------------

Step 4)

t = W/P

t = 9514/347

t = 27.4178674351586

t = 27.4 seconds

-----------------------

Step 5)

The lawn mower ran for about 27.4 seconds. I rounded to three sig figs because this was the lower amount of sig figs when comparing 9514 and 347.

-----------------------

Note: we don't use the mass at all
