Average acceleration is given by:

a_average = V2 - V1/dt   = -15 +10/2 = -2.5 m/s^2

Answer:

a=-2.5 \ m/s^2.

Explanation:

It is given that.

Initial velocity, v_i=-10\ m/s.

Final velocity, v_f=-15 \ m/s.

Also, time taken during the process, t=2.0 \ s.

So, average acceleration, a is given by:

a=\dfrac{v_f-v_i}{t}

Putting all the given values in above equation.

a=\dfrac{-15-(-10)}{2} \ m/s^2=-2.5 \ m/s^2.

Hence, it is the required solution.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

The maximum force that a grocery bag can withstand without ripping is 250 n. Suppose that the bag is filled with 20 kg of grocer
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Groceries stay in the bag.

Explanation:

Given:

Maximum force = 250 N

Bag filled with = 20 kg

Lifted acceleration = 5.0\ m/s^2

Solution:

We need to calculate the exerted force on the grocery bag by using Newton's second law.

F = ma

Where:

F = Exerted force on the object.

m = Mass of the object in kg

a = Acceleration of the object in m/s^2

Now, we substitute m = 20 kg and a = 5.0\ m/s^2 in Newton's second law,

F = 20\times 5.0

F = 100\ m/s^2

Since, the exerted force on the bag is less than 250 N, the groceries will stay in the bag.

a_sh-v [17]
I believe that the best statement which explains why you can do this is C. <span>The extension cord is made of copper wire, which is a good conductor of electricity; however, it is covered with plastic, an insulator, which does not allow the electrical current to flow to you.
Copper is known to be one of the best conductors of electricity, and plastic can shield you from shock.
