For this, we will use the formula:

<span>a = [V₀⁻V₁]÷t

</span>Where:

a - Acceleration
<span>V₀ - Final Velocity
</span>V₁ - Initial Velocity
<span>t - Time

</span>Given:
a = -2.0 m/s²
V₁ = 15.0 m/s
V₀ = 0 m/s ; because the car stopped

Find:
t = ?

Solution:

a = [V₀⁻V₁]÷t

First, we should derive the formula to the element that we are looking for (which is time).

t = [V₀⁻V₁]÷a
t = [0 m/s - 15.0 m/s]÷(-2.0 m/s²) ; substituting the numbers
t = -15.0 m/s ÷ -2.0m/s²
t = 7.5 seconds ; cancelling the removable units thus resulting only to the time unit s(seconds)

It took the car 7.5 seconds to stop

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1.) Micrometres screw gauge

2.) Tape rule.

Explanation:

Given that the diameter and the length of a thin wire, approximately 1m in length, are measured as accurately as possible.

what are the best instruments to use ?

To measure the diameter of a thin wire, the best instrument to use is known as micrometres screw gauge.

And to measure the length of a thin wire up to 1 m, the measuring device can be tape rule or long metre rule.

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Energy is inversely proportional to the wavelength of a wave. Which would have the GREATEST energy? A wave with a
Ivan

Answer:

A 5

Explanation:

The wave with the least amount of wavelength will have the greatest amount of energy.

Wavelength and energy shares an inverse relationship;

       E  = h f  = \frac{hc}{wavelength}

From this equation, we see that the higher the energy of a wave, the lesser its wavelength.

  • Choice A from the options has the least wavelength.
  • Wavelength is the distance between two successive crests of a wave.

This is why we see that in the electromagnetic spectrum, radio waves have the least energy because they have the longest wavelength.
