I can't figure out what the third number I need is in this question a car traveling at +20 m/s applies the brakes and stops in 6

The acceleration is -3.1 m/s^2

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is the rate of change in velocity of the object.

Mathematically, it is given by

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

where

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time taken for the velocity to change from u to v

For the car in this problem, we have:

u = +20 m/s

v = 0 (because the car comes to a stop)

t = 6.5 s (time taken)

Therefore, the acceleration is

a=\frac{0-(+20)}{6.5}=-3.1 m/s^2

Where the negative sign means that the direction of the acceleration is opposite to the direction of the initial velocity.

How do you work out how many atoms there are in a isotope?
GalinKa [24]
206Pb = 1.342 x10^22 atoms 

<span>To find the number of atoms, you must first find the number of moles. If 238U is 238.029g/mol, and we have 1.75 grams, how many moles is that? 1.75 divided by 238.029 = 0.007352045 moles. To find the number of atoms in 0.007352045 moles, you multiply by a mole: </span>
<span>0.007352045 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 4.426 x10^21 atoms. </span>

<span>Same procedure for 206Pb: </span>
<span>4.59 divided by 205.97446 = 0.022284316 moles </span>
<span>0.022284316 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.342 x10^22 atoms. </span>

<span>Hope that helps you!

Why society might initially reject a new scientific theory?
Irina18 [472]

I was about to say:  because people generally get comfortable with
what they think they know, and don't like the discomfort of being told
that they have to change something they're comfortable with.

But then I thought about it a little bit more, and I have a different answer.

"Society" might initially reject a new scientific theory, because 'society'
is totally unequipped to render judgement of any kind regarding any
development in Science. 

First of all, 'Society' is a thing that's made of a bunch of people, so it's
inherently unequipped to deal with scientific news.  Anything that 'Society'
decides has a lot of the mob psychology in it, and a public opinion poll or
a popularity contest are terrible ways to evaluate a scientific discovery.

Second, let's face it.  The main ingredient that comprises 'Society' ... people ...
are generally uneducated, unknowledgeable, unqualified, and clueless in the
substance, the history, and the methods of scientific inquiry and reporting.

There may be very good reasons that some particular a new scientific theory
should be rejected, or at least seriously questioned.  But believe me, 'Society'
doesn't have them.

That's pretty much why.

A skydiver prepares to jump out of a plane. Explain how gravity and air resistance will affect the motion of the skydiver before
ahrayia [7]
Before the skydiver opens the parachute, his velocity would be increasing greatly as much as 9.8 m/s². Opening the parachute would increase the surface area to which air may cause resistance. The skydiver then reaches his terminal velocity.

A 5 kg ball takes 13.3 seconds for one revolution around the circle. What's the magnitude of the angular velocity of this motion
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 0.47 rad/sec

Explanation:

By definition, the angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle traveled with time, so we can state the following:

ω = ∆θ/ ∆t

Now, we are told that in 13.3 sec, the ball completes one revolution around the circle, which means that, by definition of angle, it has rotated 2 π rad (an arc of 2πr over the radius r), so we can find ω as follows:

ω = 2 π / 13.3 rad/sec = 0.47 rad/sec

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction. At a certain point P and at a given instant, the electric fiel
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

Explanation:

It is given that,

A planar electromagnetic wave is propagating in the +x direction.The electric field at a certain point is, E = 0.082 V/m

We need to find the magnetic vector of the wave at the point P at that instant.

The relation between electric field and magnetic field is given by :

c=\dfrac{E}{B}

c is speed of light

B is magnetic field

B=\dfrac{E}{c}\\\\B=\dfrac{0.082}{3\times 10^8}\\\\B=2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T

So, the magnetic vector at point P at that instant is 2.74\times 10^{-10}\ T.
