Choice 1

The Sun's radiation and solar wind cause the dust and gas around the comet (coma) to stretch the coma. The solar wind electromagnetically blows the ions in the coma away.

A 2290 kg car traveling to the west at 22.3 m/s slows down uniformly. How long would it take the car to come to a stop if the fo
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

5.72 s

Explanation:

From Newton's law, F = ma

The East is +ve direction, Hence,

F = +8930 N

m = 2290 kg

a = ?

8930 = 2290 × a

a = 8930/2290 = 3.90 m/s²

So, we will find the time it takes the car to stop using the equations of motion

a = 3.90 m/s²

u = initial velocity of the car = - 22.3 m/s (the velocity is to the west)

v = final velocity of the car = 0 m/s (since the car comes to rest)

t = time taken for the car to come to rest = ?

v = u + at

0 = - 22.3 + (3.90)(t)

3.9t = 22.3

t = 5.72 s

Identify two factors that determine the state of matter
vova2212 [387]
Two factors determine whether a substance is a solid, a liquid, or a gas: The kinetic energies of the particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) that make up a substance. Kinetic energy tends to keep the particles moving apart. The attractive intermolecular forces between particles that tend to draw the particles together.
