Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

                   =      (76.8 mi/hr)    /       (7.62 sec)

                   =        10.08  mile/hour-second

That quantity is a perfectly good acceleration, it has the right
dimensions etc, but the question asks for it in units of meter/s²,
so I have to convert it to the equivalent in meter/s².

         (10.8  mile / hr-sec) x (1,609 meter/mile) x (1 hr / 3600 sec)

      =   (10.8 · 1,609 · 1) / (3,600)       meter / second²

      =        4.83 meter / second²   if you round all the numbers as you go
or 
                4.51 meter/sec² 
   if you use a calculator and don't round anything

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

q=0.236uC

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Diameter d=0.17m

Radius r=0.17/2=>0.085

Potential E=25.0kV

Generally the equation for Potential on spere is mathematically given by

E=\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}*\frac{q}{r}

Therefore

q=\frac{25*10^3*0.085}{\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}}

Where

\frac{1}{4 \pi e_0}=9*10^9

Therefore

q=\frac{25*10^3*0.085}{(9*10^9}}

q=0.236uC

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

of motivations to give a socially desirable response

Explanation:

The bogus pipeline is nothing but a polygraph machine which is fake.

With the help of a polygraph test it can be determined whether a person is telling the truth. This is done by measuring physiological indicators of a human being such as  blood pressure, respiration, pulse, and skin conductivity.

The bogus pipeline appears to be like a real polygraph machine. It is assumed that people will be truthful as they believe that the machine is real. Nowadays, it is used to measure attitude towards a certain stimulus.
