Answer:

Initial velocity=25m/s

Explanation:

acceleration(a)=2m/s^2

Final velocity(v)=45m/s

Time(t)=10seconds

Initial velocity(u)=?

V=u+axt

45=u+2x10

45=u+20

u=45-20

u=25m/s

An astronaut in a space craft looks out the window and sees an asteroid move pas a backward direction at 68 mph relative to the

Annette [7]

Answer: -194 mph

Explanation:

Taking into account the <u>Sun as the center </u>(origin, point zero) <u>of the reference system</u>, the velocity of the spacecraft relative to the Sun $V_{R-S}$ is:

$V_{R-S}=126mph$ Note it is <u>positive</u> because the spacecraft is moving <u>away</u> from the Sun

Taking into account the <u>spacecraft as the center of another reference system</u>, the velocity of the asteroid relative to the spacecraft $V_{A-R}$ is:

$V_{A-R}=-68mph$ Note it is <u>negative</u> because the asteroid is moving<u> towards</u> the spacracft.

Now, the velocity of the asteroid relative to the Sun $V_{A-S}$ is:

$V_{A-S}=V_{A-R}-V_{R-S}$

$V_{A-S}=-68mph-126mph$

Finally:

$V_{A-S}=-194mph$ This is the velocity of the asteroid relative to the Sun and its negative sign indicates it is <u>moving towards the Sun</u>.

What are the characteristics and ph level of acids?

12345 [234]

General Characteristics of Acids & Bases. Chemists measure the strength of an acid or base by its pH, which is a term that refers to the "power of hydrogen.". The midpoint of the pH scale is neutral. Compounds with a pH lower than the midpoint value are acidic while those with a higher value are basic or alkaline.

The efficiency of a screw is low because of _____.

AfilCa [17]

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the second option. A screw is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. <span>The efficiency of a screw is low because there is more input than output. In other words, it is because of friction. Hope this answer helps.</span>

two electronics students are discussing electrical units. student A says that electrical power is measured in units coulombs, st

Savatey [412]

The statements of both students are incorrect.

-- Electrical power, just like mechanical power, is expressed in units of watts.
-- 'Coulomb' is the unit of electrical charge.
-- '400 k ohms' means 400,000 ohms of resistance.
-- 'Volt' is the unit of electromotive force (or potential difference).

There are no 'following statements'.

All in all, a very disappointing question.
