For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration. The equations used for this problem are:

a = (v - v₀)/t
2ax = v² - v₀²
where
a is the acceleration
x is the distance
v is the final velocity
v₀ is the initial velocity
t is the time

The solution is as follows;

a = (60mph - 30 mph)/(3 s * 1 h/3600 s)
a = 36,000 mph²

2(36,000 mph²)(x) = 60² - 30²
Solving for x,
x = 0.0375 miles

What is the relationship between Newton's first law of motion and inertia?​
adelina 88 [10]

Explanation: Newton's first law of motion states that a body at rest remains at rest, or, if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force. This is also known as the law of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to remain at rest or remain in motion.

PLZ! PLZ! PLZ! HELP! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST! Scientific Claim Engaging in scientific argument is a critical piece to the applicati
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

1The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. In that spirit, students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose. (NRC Framework, 2012, p. 73)

Argumentation is a process for reaching agreements about explanations and design solutions. In science, reasoning and argument based on evidence are essential in identifying the best explanation for a natural phenomenon. In engineering, reasoning and argument are needed to identify the best solution to a design problem. Student engagement in scientific argumentation is critical if students are to understand the culture in which scientists live, and how to apply science and engineering for the benefit of society. As such, argument is a process based on evidence and reasoning that leads to explanations acceptable by the scientific community and design solutions acceptable by the engineering community.

Argument in science goes beyond reaching agreements in explanations and design solutions. Whether investigating a phenomenon, testing a design, or constructing a model to provide a mechanism for an explanation, students are expected to use argumentation to listen to, compare, and evaluate competing ideas and methods based on their merits. Scientists and engineers engage in argumentation when investigating a phenomenon, testing a design solution, resolving questions about measurements, building data models, and using evidence to evaluate claims.

Compare and critique two arguments on the same topic and analyze whether they emphasize similar or different evidence and/or interpretations of facts.

Respectfully provide and receive critiques about one’s explanations, procedures, models and questions by citing relevant evidence and posing and responding to questions that elicit pertinent elaboration and detail.

Construct, use, and/or present an oral and written argument supported by empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to support or refute an explanation or a model for a phenomenon or a solution to a problem.

Make an oral or written argument that supports or refutes the advertised performance of a device, process, or system, based on empirical evidence concerning whether or not the technology meets relevant criteria and constraints.

Evaluate competing design solutions based on jointly developed and agreed-upon design criteria.

Why do astronauts float aboard the international space station?
lianna [129]
They’re falling toward earth & moving forward at about the same velocity. because the downward and forward forces are nearly equal, the astronauts are not pulled in any specific direction, so they float . <span>

What are the similarities and differences between chemical and physical properties?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Physical properties are different from chemical properties of a substance. The main difference between physical and chemical properties is that physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition of a substance whereas chemical properties can be observed by changing the chemical composition of a substance.
