<u>Answer:</u>

The acceleration of the car is $3.13 m/s^2$

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity $15 m/s$ . It then accelerates for $4.25 s$ and in the end its velocity is $28.3 m/s$ .

initial velocity $u = 15 m/s$

time $t=4.25 s$

final velocity $v=28.3 m/s$

The equation of acceleration is

$a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}$

$= \frac{(28.3-15)}{4.25} = \frac {13.3}{4.25} =3.13m/s^2$

The value of acceleration is positive, here since the car is speeding up. If it was slowing down the value of acceleration would be negative.

How will this substance ease the pain?

erastova [34]

Answer:

There are two main types of OTC pain medicines: acetaminophen (Tylenol) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), and ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) are examples of OTC NSAIDs. If OTC medicines don't relieve your pain, your doctor may prescribe something stronger

Under the influence of its drive force, a snowmobile is moving at a constant velocity along a horizontal patch of snow. When the

Answer:

a) Δx = 11.6 m

b) t = 3.9 s

Explanation:

Since the snowmobile is moving at constant speed, and the drive force is 195 N, this means that thereis another force equal and opposite acting on it, according to Newton's 2nd Law, due to there is no acceleration present in the horizontal direction .
This force is just the force of kinetic friction, and is equal to -195 N (assuming the positive direction as the direction of the movement).
Once the drive force is shut off, the only force acting on the snowmobile remains the friction force.
According Newton's 2nd Law, this force is causing a negative acceleration (actually slowing down the snowmobile) that can be found as follows:

$a = \frac{F_{fr} }{m} = \frac{-195N}{128kg} = -1.5 m/s2 (1)$

Assuming the friction force keeps constant, we can use the following kinematic equation in order to find the distance traveled under this acceleration before coming to an stop, as follows:

$v_{f} ^{2} -v_{o} ^{2} = 2* a* \Delta x (2)$

Taking into account that vf=0, replacing by the given (v₀) and a from (1), we can solve for Δx, as follows:

$\Delta x =- \frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2*a} =- \frac{(5.90m/s)^{2}}{2*(-1.5m/s2)} = 11.6 m (3)$

We can find the time needed to come to an stop, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$v_{f} = v_{o} + a*\Delta t (4)$

Since we have already said that the snowmobile comes to an stop, this means that vf = 0.
Replacing a and v₀ as we did in (3), we can solve for Δt as follows:

$\Delta t = \frac{-v_{o} }{a} = \frac{-5.9m/s}{-1.5m/s2} = 3.9 s (5)$

so classmate states that continental drift could not be possible because it would take far too much force to move tectonic plate

Juliette [100K]

Any student who states that tectonic plates are too massive to move doesn't understand how much heat exists in the center of the earth. This heat is capable of moving the most massive of plates.
