$velocity=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{0,025km}{2,5s}=\frac{25m}{2,5s}=100\frac{m}{s}\\\\
acceleration=\frac{velocity}{time}=\frac{-10\frac{m}{s}}{2,5s}=-4\frac{m}{s^2}\\\\Solution\ is\ D.$

A flare is launched from a life raft with an initial velocity of 192 ft/sec. How many seconds will it take for the flare to retu

DIA [1.3K]

We use the formula,

$h= ut- 16 t^2$

Here, h is the variable represents the height of the flare in feet when it returns to the sea so, h = 0 and u is the initial velocity of the flare, in feet per second and its value of 192 ft/sec.

Substituting these values in above equation, we get

$0 = 192 t - 16 t^2 \\\\ 16 t( 12 - t ) =0 \\\\ t = 12 s$ .

Here, t= 0 neglect because it is the time when the flare is launched.

Thus, flare return to the sea in 12 s.

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?

nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (mg) of the box is given as the unit is Newton, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)

In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5 = 75 J (Option A)

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

c. hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior

Explanation:

Granulation is the grainy appearance of the solar photosphere produced by the top of the convection cells in the sun.

The grainy appearance are produced by granules on the photosphere of the sun and granules are caused by convection currents of plasma within the sun's convection zone.

The interior of these granules are brighter (and thus hotter) than the exterior of the granules which are darker.

So, the granulation pattern that astronomers have observed on the surface of the Sun tells us that hot material must be rising from the Sun's hotter interior.
