Calculate the acceleration of a bus full speed changes from 6 miles to 12 miles over a period of three seconds

Physics

4 0

Answer:

0.90m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial speed  = 6miles/hr

Final speed  = 12miles/hr

Time taken = 3 seconds

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It is mathematically given as:

         Acceleration  = \frac{Final speed - Initial speed}{Time}

We need to convert miles/hr to meters/seconds

Initial speed = 6 x \frac{miles }{hour} x \frac{1hr}{3600s}  x \frac{1609.34m}{1mile}

                      = 2.68m/s

Final speed = 12 x \frac{1609.34}{3600}  = 5.37m/s

      Acceleration  = \frac{5.37  - 2.68}{3}   = 0.90m/s²

A 1060-kg car moving west at 16 m/s collides with and locks onto a 1830-kg stationary car. determine the velocity of the cars ju
iren [92.7K]
M1U1 + M2V2 = (M1+M2)V, where M1 is the mass of the moving car, M2 is the mass of the stationary car, U1 is the initial velocity, and V is the common velocity after collision.
therefore; 
(1060× 16) + (1830 ×0) = (1060 +1830) V
 16960 = 2890 V
      V = 5.869 m/s
The velocity of the cars after collision will be 5.689 m/s

A car interior is heated to 48 C by the sun What type of energy transfer?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Radiation heat energy transfer

Explanation:

The type of heat transfer from the Sun is radiation heat transfer, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation

The distance of the Sun to the Earth is several million kilometers away, with the space between being composes of vacuum and the nuclear reaction in the Sun's core generates vast amount of electromagnetic radiation that is transferred all across the universe and reaches the Earth as visible light and radiant energy at the speed of light

The radiant energy transferred from the Sun heats up the Earth, including the car's interior.
