Answer:

D) quadruple.

Explanation:

Assuming the same constant acceleration a in both cases, as we have as givens  the acceleration a, the distance d, and the initial velocity v, we can use the following kinematic equations in order to compare the distances:

vf² - v₀² = 2*a*d

As the final state of the car is at rest, the final velocity vf, is 0.

⇒ - v₀² = 2*(-a)*d ⇒ d =v₀² / 2*a

1) initial velocity v₀

d₁ = v₀² / 2 a

2 ) initial velocity 2*v₀

⇒ d₂ = (2*v₀)² / 2*a = 4*v₀² / 2*a ⇒ d₂ = 4* (v₀² / 2*a)

⇒ d₂ = 4* d₁

As the equation shows, the distance required to stop, if the initial velocity were doubled, the distance required to stop would quadruple.

Answer:

m=17.79Kg

Explanation:

In this process energy must be conserved. On the initial stage, there will be only gravitational potential energy, while on the final stage there will be only elastic potential energy, so they will be equal. We write this as:

U_g=U_e

Which is the same as:

mgh=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2}

So we can obtain our mass from there, and for our values:

m=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2gh}=\frac{(65144 N/m)(0.1333m)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)(3.32m)}=17.79Kg

A scientist tests the water in a local pond and finds that it has a pH of 7.9. What is true about the water sample?
SSSSS [86.1K]
So the pH level of regular water is about 7.0 so since it is 7.9, it means the water is a little more basic
