Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (end speed) - (start speed)
                            =        (2 m/a)  -  (8 m/a)  =  -6 m/a .

Time for the change = (end time) - (start time)
                                 =   (13 sec)  -  (10 sec)  =  3 sec .

Magnitude of acceleration =  (-6 m/a) / (3 sec)

                                          =       -2 m/a per second .
 
(That's the best I can do with the ambiguous units.
What unit of speed is 'm/a' ?  Is that "miles per afternoon" ?)

Explain how evidence of energy transformation in fireworks supports the law of conservation of energy.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Energy transformation in fireworks supports the law of conservation of energy because the total chemical energy packed into the fireworks before they ignite must be the same as the total remaining after it explodes... I hope this was the answer you were looking for.. I love your Yoongi pfp btw! :) </3

supose at 20 degree celsius the resistance of Tungsten thermometer is 154.9. WHen placed in a particular solution , the resistan
saw5 [17]

Answer:

T₂ = 95.56°C

Explanation:

The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:

R' = R(1 + αΔT)

where,

R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω

R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω

α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹

ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?

Therefore,

207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]

207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT

ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹

ΔT = 75.56°C

but,

ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature

ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C

T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C

T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C

<u>T₂ = 95.56°C</u>
