Answer:
20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)
Explanation:
Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.
At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.
Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s
We also know the time, 7.2 second.
Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.
(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration
final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity
After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s
I was about to say: because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.
But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.
"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science.
First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news. Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.
Second, let's face it. The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.
There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned. But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.
That's pretty much why.
Answer:
Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.
matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)
<em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>
<em> Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>
