<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 do professional bicycle riders reduce friction. Name two ways.<br> Thx
wlad13 [49]
A well maintained bicycle is key.  Oil the chain so that it's less likely to get hung up.  It will have a smoother flow.  Another could be in their clothing.  Notice they usually wear good fitting clothing?  I believe the more from fitting pants help clothing friction.  Another way could be keeping the tires well inflated so that the tires aren't dragging.  Rolling along smoothly on properly inflated tires seems like a must.  Get a few more answers along with mine, so that you have a variety to choose from.

What is the first law of conservation of energy? How is the law applicable to the earths energy balance
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

First law of thermodynamic state that energy is always conserved, in other word, energy cannot be created or destroyed.

This means that energy can only transfer from one source to another.

For example, the electricity we used to power our phone didn't come from nowhere.

We charge our phone using the energy from the electricity from the outlet.

The outlet gets its energy from the power plant, who generated that energy from burning coal.

The coal they burned got their energy while they were alive as plants.

The plants got their energy from the sun.

The sun got its energy from other cosmic stuff and so on...

My point is that the energy we use will always cycle around. It doesn't come from thin air and it doesn't disappear into thin air either. This help keeps things balance because if energy is created out of thin air then the earth might just blow up. If energy gets erased into thin air then there'll be nothing to fuel life.

What part of an electrical circuit is intended to limit the<br> maximum current through the circuit?
stepladder [879]

Answer:The charge passing through the circuit always passes through an appliance (which acts as a resistor) or through another resistor, which limits the amount of current that can flow through a circuit. Appliances are designed to keep current at a relatively low level for safety purposes.
