Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 40 m/s

Final speed of the car, v = 25 m/s

Time taken, t = 3.5 s

(a) We need to find the magnitude and direction of the car’s acceleration as it slows down. It can be calculated using formula as :

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

a=\dfrac{25-40}{3.5}

a=-4.28\ m/s^2

The acceleration is in the opposite direction of motion i.e. west.

(b) Let s is the distance the car travel in the 3.5-s time period. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{25^2-40^2}{2\times (-4.28)}

s = 113.9 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

  • 1.78 g/cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>80 g rock displaces water:</u>

  • 75 ml - 30 ml = 45 ml = 45 cm³

<u>Density = mass / volume:</u>

  • d = 80 g / 45 cm³
  • d = 1.78 g/cm³ (rounded)
