Answer:

3.44 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δx = 45.8 m

v₀ = 19.8 m/s

a = -3.77 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

45.8 = 19.8 t + ½ (-3.77) t²

45.8 = 19.8 t − 1.885 t²

1.885 t² − 19.8 t + 45.8 = 0

t = [ -b ± √(b² − 4ac) ] / 2a

t = [ 19.8 ± √((-19.8)² − 4 (1.885) (45.8)) ] / 2(1.885)

t = [ 19.8 ± √(392.04 − 345.332) ] / 3.77

t = 3.44 or 7.06

The first time, 3.44 seconds, is correct.

The second time is the time it would take the car to return to 45.8 m if it continued decelerating after stopping.

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?
Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.
