Answer:

-2.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity The S. I unit of acceleration is m/s²

Using the equation of motion,

v² = u² + 2as................... Equation 1

Where v = Final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance,

Given: v = 6.0 m/s, u = 8.0 m/s, s = 5.0 m.

Substituting into equation 1

6² = 8²+2(a)5

36 = 64 + 10a

10a = 36-64

10a = -28

10a/10 = -28/10

a = -2.8 m/s²

Note: a is negative because because the skater decelerate on the rough ice

Hence the magnitude of her acceleration is  = -2.8 m/s²

. A person weighing 750 N gets on an elevator.
Kobotan [32]

 

F = 750 N  (Force)

d = 10 m  (displacement )

t = 25 s   (time)

L = ?   (Mechanical work )  =  (Energy)

P = ?   (Power)

Solve:

L = F × d = 750 × 10 = 7500 Joules

P = L / t = 7500 / 25 = 300 Watts

Describe how energy from the sun interact with substances
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

substances will move faster and become warm to the touch.

Explanation:

when the radiation from the sun comes down and hits substances, the substances absorbs the radiation making them warm. the absorbed energy is transformed into heat energy. this heat energy plays an important role in regulating the temperature of the Earths crust, surface waters, and low atmosphere.

Determine the smallest thickness of the film for which reflected green light of wavelength 540 nm interfere destructively. Expre
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Wavelength of green light \lambda =540\ nm

For destructive interference by reflection the path difference is an integral multiple of wavelength so

t=\frac{\lambda '}{2}

where \lambda '=\frac{\lambda }{n}

n=refractive index of medium

suppose water is the medium

so

n=\frac{4}{3}

t=\frac{540\times 3}{4\times 2}

t=202.5\ nm
