Answer:  - 5.60 m/s^2

Explanation:

Speed of passenger bus = 28.0 m/s to the right  

Time took for the bus stops = 5.00 s.

What is the acceleration of the bus as it comes to a stop = x

Step 1:

Calculate the change in velocity  

d = v2 (Final velocity)  - v1 (Initial Velocity)

d= 0 – 28

d= -28m/s  

Acceleration=  Change in velocity / time taken

Acceleration = -28 m/s / 5

Acceleration = - 5.60 m/s^2 to the right

Note: Do not forget the units, otherwise they make cost you marks!

Change in velocity = d(v)
d(v) = v2 - v1 where v1 = initial speed, v2 = final speed
v1 = 28.0 m/s to the right
v2 = 0.00 m/s
d(v) = (0 - 28)m/s = -28 m/s to the right

Change in time = d(t)
d(t) = t2 - t1 where t1 = initial elapsed time, t2 = final elapsed time
t1 = 0.00 s
t2 = 5.00 s
d(t) = (5.00 - 0.00)s = 5.00s

Average acceleration = d(v) / d(t)
(-28.0 m/s) / (5.00 s)
(-28.0 m)/s * 1 / (5.00 s) = -5.60 m/s² to the right

PLS HELP!!! A 1200-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationa
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

7200 kg.m/s

Explanation:

According the law of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before and after collision are equal.

Using this principle, the sum of initial momentum will be given as p=mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity

Initial momentum

Mass of whale*initial velocity of whale + mass of seal*initial seal velocity

Since the seal is initially stationary, its velocity is zero. By substitution and taking right direction as positive

Initial momentum will be

1200*6+(280*0)=7200 kg.m/s

Since both initial and final momentum should be equal, hence the final momentum will also be 7200 kg.m/s

The best scientific reason for a scientist to accept a specific theory is?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The theory is supported by all the available observations and data.

Explanation: The scientific community will accept a theory when a sufficient body of evidence supports it. This includes experiments that refute other potential theories. Experiments should also be carried out that attempt to disprove the theory but cannot.

It should not matter who proposed the theory or who supports it, and instead should entirely be based on the quality and abundance of data supporting it.

Hope this helps!

The gravitational force between two objects is 2400 N. What will be the gravitational force between the objects if the mass of o
motikmotik

Answer:

4800N

Explanation:

Lets assume,

Mass of first object = m₁

Mass of second object = m₂

Distance between the two objects = r

Thus the force between the two objects will be

F = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

where, G = Universal gravitational constant

Given, F = 2400N

New mass of second object = 2m₂

Now, the force will be

F_{2} = \frac{G\times m_{1}\times 2m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2\frac{G\times m_{1}\times m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{2}= 2F

F_{2}= 2\times2400

Thus, F₂ = 4800N

The data table shows some data related to the Sun and the planets in our solar system.
AlexFokin [52]
You have selected the correct answer and blobbed over it with your pencil.

I assume you must have looked at Saturn's average distance, found 1427,
divided that number by 6, got 237 and change, then looked at the others,
and found that 228 was the only one that's anywhere close.

Which list of properties of alternation current is the most likely reason it was chosen over direct current to provide electrici
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

- Direct current is a current in which electrons flow in one direction only

- Alternating current is a current in which the direction of the electron flow reverses periodically - so, half a cycle forward, half a cycle backward

There are several advantages of using alternating currents for the transmission of electricity across a country, over large distances. The main advantages are:

- The voltage of alternating currents can be easily increased/decreased by using transformers. For instance, a transformer is used at the beginning of the transmission line to increase the voltage (electricity is transmitted at high voltage in order to reduce dissipated power), and then another transformer is used before the electricity enters the houses, in order to decrease the voltage. Transformers only work with alternating currents.

- It is easy to interrupt the flow of an alternating current, because its value naturally becomes zero every half a cycle, so this is useful in case the current must be interrupted.
