Answer:

Vector

Explanation:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. As velocity is a vector quantity, so acceleration is also a vector quantity.

If a car starts from rest and attains some velocity after some time, then car is accelerating and the firection of acceleration is same as the direction of velocity.

If a car is moving and after applying the brakes it come to rest it means the motion of car has negative acceleration which means the direction of velocity and the direction of acceleration is opposite to each other.

Acceleration is a vector because it has magnitude and direction

Example :
a Car stopping at the rate of 5 m/s. In this example, the direction of acceleration is the opposite of the direction of velocity, and the magnitude is 5 m/s

Hope this helps

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

t = 5.05 s

Explanation:

This is a kinetic problem.

a) to solve it we must fix a reference system, let's use a fixed system on the floor where the height is 0 m

b) in this system the equations of motion are

              y = v₀ t + ½ g t²

where v₀ is the initial velocity that is v₀ = 0 and g is the acceleration of gravity that always points towards the center of the Earth

e)    y = 0 + ½ g t²

     t = √ (2y / g)

     t = √(2 125 / 9.8)

     t = 5.05 s

A parallel-plate capacitor with plates of area 600 cm^2 is charged to a potential difference V and is then disconnected from the
Julli [10]

Answer:

<h2>a) Q = 0.759µC</h2><h2>b) E = 39.5µJ</h2>

Explanation:

a) The charge Q on the positive charge capacitor can be gotten using the formula Q = CV

C = capacitance of the capacitor (in Farads )

V = voltage (in volts) = 100V

C = ∈A/d

∈ = permittivity of free space = 8.85 × 10^-12 F/m

A = cross sectional area = 600 cm²

d= distance between the plates = 0.7cm

C = 8.85 × 10^-12 * 600/0.7

C = 7.59*10^-9Farads

Q = 7.59*10^-9 * 100

Q = 7.59*10^-7Coulombs

Q = 0.759*10^-6C

Q = 0.759µC

b) Energy stored in a capacitor is expressed as E = 1/2CV²

E = 1/2 * 7.59*10^-9 * 100²

E = 0.0000395Joules

E = 39.5*10^-6Joules

E = 39.5µJ

A skater increases her speed from 5.0 m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the skater?
forsale [732]

Answer:

1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change of velocity of the object; it is given by:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

u is the initial velocity of the body

v is its final velocity

t is the time elapsed

In this problem, we have:

u = 5.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the skater

v = 10.0 m/s is the final velocity

t = 5 s is the time elapsed

Therefore, the acceleration of the skater is:

a=\frac{10-5}{5}=1 m/s^2
