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

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

a roller coaster begins at the top of a hill if it acelerates at the rate of 2 m/s2 and has a mass of 2000 kg what net force is
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4000 \ Newtons }}

Explanation:

Force can be found by multiplying the mass by the acceleration.

F=m*a

The mass of the roller coaster is 2000 kilograms and the acceleration is 2 meters per second squared.

m= 2000 \ kg \\a= 2 \ m/s^2

Substitute the values into the formula.

F= 2000 \ kg * 2 \ m/s^2

Multiply.

F= 4000  \ kg*m/s^2

  • 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 N
  • Therefore our answer of 4000 kg*m/s² is equal to 4000 Newtons

F= 4000 \ N

The net force acting on the roller coaster is <u>4000 Newtons.</u>

Why is it important to understand the concept of density ?
N76 [4]
Density applies to many if not all aspects of life.  With density you can explain why ice floats.   You can explain why oxygen is on the earth, and not floating around in space( or being replaced by another gas).  You can also explain why heat rises while cold air sinks.
