Car accelerates 86km/hr in 4.6s . What is the average acceleration in m/s^2

Physics
1 answer:
never [62]3 years ago
4 0

speed = 86km/hr

= 86000/3600

= 23.889m/s

time = 4.6s

acceleration = 23.889/4.6

a = 5.19m/s^2

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path with Constant speed considered to be an accelerated motion?
Strike441 [17]

The speed is changing its direction all the time. There is an acceleration which changes the direction of the speed – that is called centripetal acceleration. Only uniform linear motions are considered to have no acceleration.

This is the general formula for acceleration

a = dv/dt

When calculating dv, you should keep in mind the change in the velocity vector’s direction. You can easily see in a graph that with dt tending to 0 (so the length of the arc covered is also tending to 0), the difference between vectors Vf and V0 has a direction which is perpendicular to velocity (the shorter the arc, the closest the angle is to 90 degrees).

There is a formula (which can be deducted from the previous formula) which allows you to calculate the acceleration:

a = v^2/r

Let’s talk about the units:

v is in m/s

r is in m

so v^2/r

is in (m/s)^2/m = (m^2/s^2)/m = m/s^2

which is the same unit as dv/dt:

dv/dt = (m/s)/s= m/s^2

The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is _______ light.
Goryan [66]
<span>The longest wavelength within the visible spectrum is the red light. The answer is letter C. It is called visible light because it is the only light that can be seen by the human eye. Red light is the longest wavelength around 620 to 750 nanometer. It is followed by orange which has a wavelength of 590 t 620 nanometer. And then blue which has a wavelength of 450 to 495 nanometer. And the shortest wavelength is violet which has a wavelength of 380 to 459 nanometer.  </span>

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘c, which corresponds to 32∘f, and that it boils at 100∘c, which corresponds t
Zolol [24]
The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F
