Answer:

a) distance d = 293.36ft

b) acceleration a = 14.67ft/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time.

a = ∆v/t ....1

Given;

Initial velocity vi = 30mph × 5280ft/mile × 1/3600s/h

vi = 44ft/s

Final velocity vf = 70mph × 5280ft/mile × 1/3600s/h

vf = 102.67ft/s

time = 4.0s

From equation 1, acceleration is;

a = ∆v/t = (102.67-44)/4 = 14.67ft/s^2

Distance travelled can be given as;

d = ut + 0.5at^2 .....2

u = 44ft/s

t = 4

a = 14.67ft/s^2

Substituting into the equation 2

d = 44(4) + 0.5(14.67×4^2)

d = 293.36ft

Salutations!

When fossil fuels are burnt, what 2 gases are given off?

When fossil fuels are burnt, the following are one of the two gases when they are given off:

→ Carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide is a green house gas, and plays a major role in the global warming.

→ Carbon Monoxide: Carbon monoxide is a gas that is dangerous to human beings when released.

If all the stars in an elliptical galaxy traveled random directions in their orbits, the elliptical galaxy would be type
Lemur [1.5K]

The answer would be E7. Galaxies categorized as E0 look to be nearly perfect, while those registered as E7 seem much extended than they are widespread. It is worth noting, though, that a galaxy's look is connected to how it lies on the sky when viewed from Earth. An E7 galaxy is very long and thin or the flattest of them all.
