Two cars are traveling along a straight line in the same direction, the lead car at 24.7m/s and the other car at 29.9m/s. at the

moment the cars are 38.1m apart, the lead driver applies the brakes, causing her car to have an acceleration of -1.96m/s2. how long does it take for the lead car to stop? (in s)

Answer: 12.6 s

We would use the equation of motion:

v-u=at

where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

It is given that the lead car has an initial velocity, u=24.7\hspace{1mm} m/s. It decelerates with a=-1.96 \hspace{1mm} m/s^{2} to stop (v=0). we need to calculate the time taken by the lead car to stop.

\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\ \Rightarrow t=\frac{0-24.7}{-1.96}=12.6\hspace{1mm} s

Answer: C. Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.

Explanation:

The periodic table contains vertical columns called as groups and horizontal rows called as periods.

Period 2 contains 8 elements which are lithium, beryllium , boron , carbon, nitrogen, oxygen , fluorine and neon. Only Lithium and beryllium are metals.

Group 18 contains all the noble gases which are all non metals.

Metals are the elements which loose electrons easily and form positive ions. Non-metals are the elements which can gain electrons easily and form negative ions.

Metals are present on left side of the periodic table and as we move to right side of the periodic table , the metallic character decreases and thus non metals are found on the right side of the periodic table.

Any two application of gravity
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Well the definition of an application is the act of putting to a special use or purpose so lam assuming that you want specific uses that scientists make of gravity in their work.

Well our first application has helped us to send satellites around the solar system with what Nasa calls gravity assist. Using a particular planets gravity to slingshot a satellite to another destination. Look it up.

The next application much simpler but here on Earth. There are many hydro-electric power stations in use all over the world. Water is stored at a high level and released falling 100s of metres to a turbine where it generates electricity.

Hope that helps.

Tectonic plates are large segments of the earth's crust that move slowly. suppose one such plate has an average speed of 4.8 cm
user100 [1]
<span>one year is 365, 1 day is 24 hours, 1 hour is 60 minutes, 60 minutes is 60 seconds, thus (365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 31,536,000 one year is equal to 31,536,000 seconds. the plate has a speed of 4.8 cm every 31,536,000 seconds. lets find out how far it goes in 40 seconds. (4.8/31,536,000)*40 = 0.00000608828 The plate moves 0.00000608828 cm every 40 seconds</span>
