A speeding car traveling at 24.8 m/s passes a police car that is at rest. The police car begins its pursuit at the instant the s

peeding car passes and maintains a constant acceleration. (a) What acceleration is required for the police car to overtake the speeding car in 897 m?

Answer:

the acceleration required is 1.37m/s^2

Explanation:

The car is having a constant velocity movement, so if we calculate the time to reach 897m, we can use it to find the acceleration the policeman need to apply to reach the car.

x=v*t\\t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{897m}{24.8m/s}\\t=36.17s

the policeman is traveling with a constant acceleration starting from rest so:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\a=\frac{2*x}{t^2}\\\\a=1.37 m/s2

What is larger a Atom or a Molecule?
Kipish [7]
I believe an Atom is a very powerful source, the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom is a source of nuclear energy.


But a molecule on the other hand isn't so different.
a group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.
I hope that helps, have a fantastic day!

A .140kg baseball traveling 35.0m/s strikes the catchers mit bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 11.0cm what’s the avera
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N

Explanation:

mass of baseball=0.140 kg

initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s

Final velocity=Vf= 0

distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m

using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d

where a = acceleration

0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)

a=-5568.2 m/s²

Now force is given by F= ma

F= 0.140 (5568.2)

F=-780 N

The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.

so the average force= 780 N

Explain how VSEPR theory predicts the shapes of molecules. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the s
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

The VSEPR theory and how it predicts the shapes of molecules:

Explanation:

The Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory is a model used in chemistry to predict the shapes of individual molecules by the number of electron pairs that they have in the center of the atom. This theory is also based on the notion that the electrons around the atom repel one another. The Valence electrons on the outermost layer of the molecule are the most important in defining the geometry as they are the first to interact with other atoms and will be involved in bonding.
