Answer:

a=5m/s^2

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

v_{1}=150m/s

and the final velocity is :

v_{2}=0 m/s

so, the change in velocity is:

\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) =  150 m/s

and the change in time , according to the problem:

\Delta t=30s

So, the aceleration is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is . On Earth, the main source of this energy is .
serg [7]

The form of energy that can move from place to place across the universe is light energy. On earth, the main source of this energy is Sun. Most of the light energy comes from the sun because it is the primary source of all the energies. The food, fossil fuels, movement of winds, etc all exists due to Sun. Without sun, there won't be any light energy on the earth. In all the processes which occur on earth has a direct or indirect involvement of light energy which comes from sun.

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 m/s increases at a constant rate of 2.4 m/s^2 for 3.2s. What is the total distance
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

82.7 m

Explanation:

u= 22m/s

a= 2.4 m/s^2.

t= 3.2 secs

Therefore the distance travelled can be calculated as follows

S= ut + 1/2at^2

= 22 × 3.2 + 1/2 × 2.4 × 3.2^2

= 70.4 + 1/2×24.58

= 70.4 + 12.29

= 82.7 m

Hence the distance travelled by the truck is 82.7 m

How does surface area affect the amount of air resistance an object experiences?
Ymorist [56]
The greater the cross-sectional area of an object, the greater the amount of air resistance it encounters since it collides with more air molecules. ... It will have to accelerate for a longer period of time before there is enough upward air resistance to balance the downward force of gravity.

A 0.20-kg object is attached to the end of an ideal horizontal spring that has a spring constant of 120 N/m. The simple harmonic
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.07756 m

Explanation:

Given mass of object =0.20 kg

spring constant = 120 n/m

maximum speed = 1.9 m/sec

We have to find the amplitude of the motion

We know that maximum speed of the object when it is in harmonic motion is given by v_{max}=A\omega where A is amplitude and \omega is angular velocity

Angular velocity is given by \omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}  where k is spring constant and m is mass

So v_{max}=A\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}

A=V_{max}\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}=1.9\times \sqrt{\frac{0.2}{120}}=0.07756 \ m
