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

Physics
1 answer:
Jet001 [13]3 years ago
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

What does a mass extinction look like in the fossil record?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

the answer is D

Explanation:

Mass extinctions were first identified by the obvious traces they left in the fossil record. ... Such dramatic changes in adjacent rock layers make it clear that mass extinctions were geologically rapid and suggest that they were caused by catastrophic events (e.g., a period of intense volcanic activity).

How many times is a ray of light reflected by 2 plane mirrors placed parallel and facing each other
alexdok [17]

Answer:

the ray is reflected infinite number of times by 2 plane mirrors placed parallel to each other as each reflected ray would be the incident ray for the other.

Explanation:

the ray is reflected infinite number of times by 2 plane mirrors placed parallel to each other as each reflected ray would be the incident ray for the other.

Placing one mirror at an angle causes reflections to curve.

The image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. Which best describes the model?
GuDViN [60]

<u>Answer: The model is described by :</u>

The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles.

Explanation :

According to universal gravitational law, the force acting in the universe between two objects is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

It is clear that the gravitational force depends directly on the product of masses and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

The given image shows a model of the gravitational field around Earth. The arrows in the image show the direction of the force. Gravitational field depends on the position of objects.

As we move closer to the earth, the force increases and hence the field increase.

So, the correct option is (D) " The strength of the field increases as you get closer to Earth, as shown by the smaller spaces between the circles ".

The gravitational force between Earth and the Sun is a two-way force. Both the planet and the Sun attract each other. However, E
Ymorist [56]

The correct choice would be

B) The Sun’s mass is much greater than Earth’s

The sun as we know has greatest mass in our solar system and lighter objects tends to orbit around the heavier objects. the mass of earth is very much smaller as compared to that of the sun. hence the earth orbits around the sun due to the force of gravitational attraction between the two objects.
