Answer:

-31.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is calculated as:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

Acceleration is a vector, so it is important to also take into account the direction of the velocity.

For the particle in this problem, we have:

u = +48 m/s is the initial velocity (positive direction)

v = -92 m/s is the final velocity (negative direction)

t = 4.5 s is the time interval

Therefore, the average acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{-92-(+48)}{4.5}=-31.1 m/s^2

Atomic radius<br><br>moving from left to right across a period,<br>​
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Atomic radius decreases moving from left to right across a period.

Explanation:

When we move left to right across a period, the size of atoms generally decreases. It is because within the period the outer electrons are in same valence shell and the number of electrons and proton increases moving from left to right across the the period. It increases the effective nuclear charge resulting in the increased attraction of electron to the nucleus that causes the decreased radius of the atoms.

The specific heat of water is 4.2 J/g • °C. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of 100 g of water by 5°C? *
Svetach [21]

Answer:

2100 J

Explanation:

The heat required to increase the temperature of a substance is given by

Q=mC\Delta T

where

m is the mass of the substance

C is its specific heat capacity

\Delta T is its change in temperature

For the water in this problem, we have:

m = 100 g is its mass

C = 4.2 J/g • °C is the specific heat capacity

\Delta T=5^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

So, the amount of heat needed is:

Q=(100)(4.2)(5)=2100 J

Explain newton's second law in terms of inertia?​
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Newton's second law is F=ma. And since inertia is the resistance an object has against a change in velocity or force, you must push a lot harder to start moving an object, but once it starts to move, it is a lot easier, until you go to stop it.
