The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

21. Calculate the acceleration of the bus from point D to E. Show your work.

Marat540 [252]

21) Acceleration from D to E: $1 m/s^2$

22) The acceleration of the bus from D to E is $1 m/s^2$

Explanation:

21)

The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity of the object. Mathematically:

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

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we want to measure the acceleration of the bus from point D to point E. We have:

- Initial velocity at point D: u = 0

- Final velocity at point E: v = 5 m/s

- Time elapsed from D to E: t = 21 - 16 = 5 s

Therefore, the acceleration between D and E is

$a=\frac{5-0}{5}=1 m/s^2$

22) This question is the same as 21), so the result is the same.

A student measures the mass 8cm block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar.

antoniya [11.8K]

Correction

A student measures the mass <em><u>8cm3</u></em> block of brown sugar to be 12.9g. what is the density of the brown sugar

Answer:

$1.6\ g/cm^{3}$

Explanation:

Density is defined as mass per unit volume of an object expressed as $\rho=\frac {m}{v}$ where $\rho$ is the density, m is the mass of sugar and v is the volume of the sugar. Considering that the volume is given as 8cm3 for sugar then we substitute this for v and mass of 12.9 g we substitute for g then the density will be
