Answer:

20.96 m/s^2 (or 21)

Explanation:

Using the formula (final velocity - initial velocity)/time = acceleration, we can plug in values and manipulate the problem to give us the answer.

At first, we know a car is going 8 m/s, that is its initial velocity.

Then, we know the acceleration, which is 1.8 m/s/s

We also know the time, 7.2 second.

Plugging all of these values in shows us that we need to solve for final velocity. We can do so by manipulating the formula.

(final velocity - initial velocity) = time * acceleration

final velocity = time*acceleration + initial velocity

After plugging the found values in, we get 20.96 m/s/s, or 21 m/s

When a car driving up a hill with constant speed: I. its kinetic energy is decreasing. II. its potential energy is constant. III

madam [21]

A car driving up a hill at a constant speed experiences no change in its kinetic energy while it's potential energy increases with increasing height, thus none of the options are correct.

Understanding the concept

Consider a car moving up the hill at a constant speed as shown in the figure below. The following forces act on the car:

N is the normal reaction force acting in an upward direction

f_s is the static friction force exerted due to friction between the road and the tires of the car
f_k is the rolling friction force in the direction opposing that of the tire
mg is the force acting in a downward direction.

θ is the angle of inclination.

Here as the car is moving up the hill at a constant speed, the net force exerted on the car is zero. Also, the kinetic energy of the car will not change as its velocity is constant and the potential energy will change with increasing height. Thus, none of the given options are correct.

B. The Earth radiates an amount of energy into space equal to the amount it receives.

Part of the solar energy is reflected by the Earth into space, this is known as albedo. The other part of the energy radiated by the Earth in the form of infrared radiation, is absorbed by the greenhouse gases, which cause most of this infrared radiation to be emitted into space. Therefore, the net flow of energy is zero.
