as we know that

acceleration = 0.50 m/s^2

distance traveled = 125 m

time taken = 20 s

now we will use the equation of kinematics

d = v_i*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

125 = v_i* 20 + \frac{1}{2}*0.50*20^2

125 = 20*v_i + 100

125 - 100 = 20*v_i

v_i = 1.25 m/s

so its initial speed must be 1.25 m/s

A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.

An ideal monatomic gas expands isobarically, doubling the volume, from a state A to state B. It is then compressed isothermally
drek231 [11]
B because I just think it’s the right answer because drawing a PV diagram for this cycle is the best answer even though it might be a stupid so I would not pay attention to my response because I’m just getting this for points but let me know if it is the right answer because right now I’m just guessing.

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!! CORRECT ANSWER ONLY PLEASE!!!

Mechanical waves need material stuff to travel through.

They cannot travel through vacuum.

That's why we can't hear the explosions on the sun.

That's also why astronauts standing on the moon or working outside the Space Station have to use radio to talk to each other, even if they're only a few inches apart.  There's no air between them, or any other material stuff.  So sound can't travel between them.
