Answer:

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 0.00416 mi/h².

Or

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 15 mi/h/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 4.0 sec

Speed = 60.0 mph

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using equation of motion

v = u+at

Where, v = final speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

a= \dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{0-60.0}{4.0\times3600}

a =-0.00416\ mi/h^2

We need to calculate the acceleration  in mi/h/s

a = \dfrac{60.0\ mph}{4.0\ s}

a= -15\ mi/h/s

Negative sign

Hence, The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 0.00416 mi/h².

Or

The car is decelerating with the magnitude of 15 mi/h/s.

We need to apply the following expression

Vf = Vo + a.t

Where a is the acceleration
t is the time it takes to achieve Speed Vf
And Vo the initial speed 

In this problem Vo = 60 miles/hour
Vf =  0 (comes to a stop)
t = 4 seconds 

a = -60 [miles/hours] / 4 [s] = -15 miles/hour/second    (negative as it goes in                                                                                                  the opposite direction)

Which of the following sets of characteristics describes the image formed by a plane mirror?A. Virtual and invertedB. Real and u
tiny-mole [99]
<h2>Answer: Virtual and upright</h2><h2 />

A plane mirror is a highly polished flat surface with a very high capacity to reflect incident light.  

We can understand in a better way how this works with the figure attached:  

1. The incident rays coming from the real object reach the mirror and  

2.are reflected following the law of Reflection.  

3.The prolongation of those reflected rays converge at a point that does not coincide with the actual position of the object. At that point the virtual image of the object is formed.  

4.Then, the reflected divergent rays are captured by our eye converging on the retina.  

Now, the image is said to be virtual because it is a copy of the object that looks as if the object is behind the mirror and not in front of it or on the surface, but it is not really there. However, it can be seen when we focus it with our eyes.  

In addition, the image formed is:  

symmetrical, because apparently it is at the same distance from the mirror  

the same size as the object.  

upright, because it retains the same orientation as the object.

What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 453g and a volume of 224mL?
Mrrafil [7]
Density is mass per unit volume. In this case, the unit is g/ml
Mass=453g                              ρ=453g/224ml
Volume=224ml                         ρ=2.022g/ml(rounded to nearest hundredth)
Density=?
ρ=mass/volume
Therefore the density of the substance is 2.022g/ml

It is epistemically possible that a completed physics might include which of the following propositions? O Souls and other spiri
ohaa [14]

Answer:

option D.

Explanation:

The correct answer is option D.

At present the knowledge of physics does not includes the study related to souls , other spiritual substance.

Physics does not give the answers of question like God created universe , matter is unreal, etc.

So, there might will be possibility that in future complete physics will give the answer of all these questions i.e. correct answer is All of the above.
