Answer: acceleration: $4 m/s^{2}$

velocity: $26 m/s$

Explanation:

The complete question is written bellow:

A cat is moving at 18 m/s when it accelerates at $4 m/s^{2}$ for 2 seconds. What is his new velocity?

In this situation the following equation will be useful:

$V=V_{o}+at$

Where:

$V$ is the cat’s final velocity (new velocity)

$V_{o}=18 m/s$ is the cat’s initial velocity

$a=4 m/s^{2}$ is the cat's acceleration

$t=2 s$ is the time

Solving the equation:

$V=18 m/s+(4 m/s^{2})(2 s)$

$V=26 m/s$ This is the cat's new velocity

If a ball that is 10 meters above the ground is thrown horizontally at 5.51 meters per second. a. how long will it take for the

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

a. t = 1.43 s

b. d = 7.88 m

Explanation:

a. The time of flight can be found using the following equation:

$y_{f} = y_{0} + v_{0_{y}}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$

Where:

$y_{f}$ : is the final height = -10 m

$y_{0}$ : is the initial height = 0

$v_{0_{y}}$ : is the initial speed in the vertical direction = 0

g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

By solving the above equation for "t" we have:

$t = \sqrt{\frac{2y_{f}}{g}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*10 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 1.43 s$

Hence, the ball will hit the ground in 1.43 s.

b. The distance in the horizontal direction can be found as follows:

$x_{f} = x_{0} + v_{0}t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}$

Where:

x₀: is the initial position in the horizontal direction = 0

a: is the acceleration in the horizontal direction = 0 (it is moving at constant speed)

$x_{f} = 5.51 m/s*1.43 s = 7.88 m$

Therefore, the ball will travel 7.88 m before it hits the ground.

I hope it helps you!

Mrac [35]

Answer:

50 N/m

Explanation:

Elastic energy = kinetic energy

EE = KE

½ kx² = ½ mv²

½ k (4 m)² = ½ (8.0 kg) (10.0 m/s)²

k = 50 N/m

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.

Pepsi [2]

1) The correct answer is
C) The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.
In solids, in fact, particles are bound together so they cannot move freely. However, they can move around their fixed position with small vibrational movements, whose intensity depends on the temperature of the substance (the higher the temperature, the more intense the vibrations). For this reason, we say that matter moves also in solid state.

2) The correct answer is
A) increase the concentration of both solutions
In fact, when we increase the concentration of both solutions, we increase the number of particles that react in both solutions; as a result, the speed of the reaction will increase.

3) The correct answer is
C) gas → liquid → solid
In gases, in fact, particles are basically free to move, so the intermolecular forces of attraction are almost negligible. In liquids, particles are still able to move, however the intermolecular forces of attraction are stronger than in gases. Finally, in solids, particles are bound together, so they are not free to move and the intermolecular forces of attraction are very strong.
