A car starts at 80 m/s but sees a cop and hits the brakes slowing down to 50 m/s in 2 sec.

Physics

Answer:

-15m/s/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in speed/ change in time

The change in speed is calculated by subtracting the initial speed from the final speed, so the change in speed is: 50 - 80 = -30m/s. The change in time is 2 - 0 = 2.

So the car acceleration is -30/2 = -15m/s/s

It is negative because it is decelerating.

Hope this helped!

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
makvit [3.9K]

The only scalar quantity is a. 35 m

Explanation:

In physics, there are two types of quantities:

- Scalar: a scalar quantiy is a quantity having only a magnitude, so it is just a number followed by a unit. Examples of scalar quantities in physics are:

Speed

Energy

Distance

Time

- Vector: a vector quantity is quantity having both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of vector quantities in physics are:

Velocity

Force

Acceleration

Displacement

Let's now analyze each given option, to evaluate if it is a scalar or a vector:

a. 35m  --> it is only a unit (no direction), so it is a scalar

b. 20 m to the right  --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

c. 30 m to the North --> it has a direction, so it is a vector

So, the only correct option is a).

Sam wants to get a refrigerator into a moving truck. He chooses to use a ramp to accomplish the task that is 25 meters long. If
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ignoring friction and assuming one ramp end rests on level ground.

gravity acceleration acting parallel to the ramp is gsinθ.

F = mgsinθ

mg = 250 N,  sinθ = 3/25

F = 250(3/25)

F = 30 N

A 25 meter long ramp strong enough to hold a person plus a 250 N refrigerator would weigh much more than 250 N.
