A car travels on the entrance ramp to a freeway as it accelerates from 30 mph to the freeway speed of 70 mph for 4.0 s. Suppose

that the car moves with the constant acceleration.

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

Sunlight appears white. However, rainbows, sunburn and the ability to see colors tell a different story.Explain what each of the
alexdok [17]
A) Sunlight basically consists of a combination of light of different wavelengths. Each of these wavelengths correspond to each of the colors of the rainbow. For example, red light has the longest wavelength. This is followed by orange, then yellow, green, blue and indigo. Violet has the shortest wavelength. These wavelengths (750 nm  to 400 nm) constitute the visible colors. All these light components of different wavelengths combine together to become the color white.

b) When this sunlight passes through droplets of rain, it gets refracted and that is what breaks up the white light into individual colors of the rainbow, just how light passing through a glass prism gets broken down into its individual seven colors.

c) Different objects have the ability to absorb different wavelengths of light. For example, glass absorbs light of all wavelengths except those between 560-520nm, which corresponds to green light. So it reflects the green light and thus, our eyes see  grass as green in color.

d) Light of wavelength below  400 nm (ultraviolet) and above 750nm (Infrared) are not visible. However, they exist in the sun's radiation. Ultraviolet rays are very harmful and responsible for causing sunburn and some types of skin tumors. Infrared light is also harmful and can cause premature wrinkling of skin.

A car is sitting still. It accelerates to a constant speed then it decelerates again to zero speed. While the car is acceleratin
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase

the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant  a direction opposite to the angular velocity

Explanation:

Acceleration and angular velocity are related to linear

           v = w xr

            a = αx r

The bold letters indicate vectors and the cross is a vector product, therefore if

we can see that the relationship between linear and angular variables is direct

therefore in the acceleration process the quantity α and w must increase as well as their linear counterparts

in the deceleration process the alpha quantity must constant as the linear acceleration and must have a direction opposite to the angular velocity

Two people push on a boulder to try to move it. The mass of the boulder is 825 kg. One person pushes north with a force of 64 N.
stira [4]

Answer:

0.09 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration: This can be defined as the rate of change of velocity.

The S.I unit of acceleration is m/s².

From the question, expression for acceleration is given as

F' = ma  

Using Pythagoras Theory,

√(F₁²+F₂²) = ma................... Equation 1

Where F₁ = Force of the First person on the boulder, F₂ = Force of the Second person on the boulder, F' = resultant force acting on the boulder, m = mass of the boulder, a = acceleration of the boulder.

make a the subject of the equation

a = √(F₁²+F₂²) /m................ Equation 2

Given: m = 825 kg, F₁ = 64 N, F₂ = 38 N,

Substitute into equation 2

a = [√(64²+38²)]/825

a = {√(5540)}/825

a = 74.43/825

a = 0.09 m/s²

What mindset do you believe Einstein had while alive and what do you think the key component or constant action was for Einstein
grandymaker [24]

Albert Einstein had a growth mindset due to innovative nature.

<h3>What mindset do you believe Einstein had?</h3>

Albert Einstein had a growth mindset because he did not give up when he face failure. He was very good in math and science but did not get into the school. The reason behind is that Einstein is different from other students. The key component or constant action was focus and devotion to work for Einstein throughout his "miracle year".

So we can conclude that Albert Einstein had a growth mindset due to innovative nature.
