Complete question is;

Consider a bus traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which statement concerning its acceleration in the x direction is correct

a) The bus is decelerating and its acceleration is positive.

b) The bus is decelerating, and its acceleration is negative.

c) The acceleration is zero.

d) A statement cannot be made using the information given.

Answer:

Option A - bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

Explanation:

We are told that the bus is travelling in (negative x direction) and begins to slow down. Since the bus is slowing down, it means that the bus is undergoing a negative acceleration which is called deceleration.

Thus, the bus is decelerating.

Since it is moving in the negative x-axis, it means acceleration is now; -(-a) which gives +a.

Thus, bus is decelerating and acceleration is positive.

How much heat would be absorbed by 75.20 g of iron when heated from 22 C to 28 C
Bumek [7]

Mass x SH x °C (or K) ΔT

= 75g x 0.45J/g/K x 6.0 ΔT

= 202.5 Joules of heat absorbed.


(202.5J / 4.184J/cal = 48.4 calories).

I guess that is the answer

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters
