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

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

a) In order to catch the ball at the level at which it is thrown in the direction of motion.

b)Speed of the receiver will be 7.52m/s

Explanation:

Calculating range,R= Vo^2Sin2theta/g

R= (20^2×Sin(2×30)/9.8 = 35.35m

Let receiver be(R-20) = 35.35-20= 15.35m

The horizontal component of the ball is:

Vox= Vocostheta= 20× cos30°

Vox= 17.32m/s

Time taken to coverR=35.35m with 17.32m/s will be:

t=R/Vox= 35.35/17.32

t= 2.04seconds

b)Speed required to cover 15.35m at 2.04seconds

Vxreciever= d/t = 15.35/2.04 = 7.52m/s

A rocket travels 1.3 km in 62 ms. What is its average speed in m⋅s−1? Do not give your answer in scientific notation. The answer

hjlf

Answer:

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.3 Km

Time = 62 minutes

To find the average speed in m/s;

First of all, we would convert the quantities to their standard unit (S.I) of measurement;

Conversion:

1.3 kilometres to meters = 1.3 * 1000 = 1300 meters

For time;

1 minute = 60 seconds

62 minutes = X

Cross-multiplying, we have;

X = 62 * 60

X = 3720 seconds

Now, we can calculate the average speed in m/s using the formula;

$Speed = \frac {distance}{time}$

$Speed = \frac {1300}{3720}$

Average speed = 0.35 m/s

contractor will use a package emulsion having a specific gravity of 1.25 and relative bulk strength of 130 to open an excavation

tester [92]

Answer:

The burden distance is 7 ft

Solution:

As per the question:

Specific gravity of package emulsion, $SG_{E} = 1.25$

Specific gravity of diabase rock, $SG_{R} = 2.76$

Diameter of the packaged sticks, d = 3 in

Now,

To calculate the first trail shot burden distance, B:

$B = [\frac{2SG_{E}}{SG_{R}} + 1.5]\times d$

$B = [\frac{2\times 1.25}{2.76} + 1.5]\times 3 = 7.22$

B = 7 ft

Which three terms are needed to describe the energy a BASE jumper has as she falls toward the ground?

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Gravitational energy.

Explanation:

The potential energy is the stored energy, it is the energy and object posses at rest. When the base jumper is still at rest i.e without motion, she has potential energy.

Gravitational energy this refer to the potential energy an object or body with mass posses in relation to another object due to gravity.

This is seen when the base number is still at rest and the force of gravity on the Earth acting on her.

Kinetic energy is the energy posses by an object or body in motion.

As the base jumper falls to the ground, she posses kinetic energy which is the energy in motion.
