Answer:

u=36.8m/s

Explanation:

because of the acceleration is a constant acceleration we can use one of the "SUVAT" equations

u^2=v^2-2ā*s. where:

u^2 stands for intial velocity

v^2 stands for final velocity

since the cougar skidded to a complete stop the final velocity is zero.

u^2=v^2-2ā*s

u^2=(0)^2 -2(-2.87 m/s^2)*236 m

u^2=0+5.74m/s^2* 236m

u^2=1354.64m^2/s^2

u=√1354.64m^2/s^2

u=36.8m/s (approximate value)

when ever the acceleration is constant you can use one of the following equation to find the required value.

1. v = u + at. (no s)

2. s= 1/2(u+v)t. (no ā)

3. s=ut + 1/2at^2. ( no v)

4. v^2=u^2 + 2āS. (no t). 5. s= vt - 1/2at^2. (no u)

Why are the decomposers categorized as consumers? how do they differ from producers
QveST [7]
Hi! Decomposers (mainly soil bacterium, fungus, or invertebrate)<span /> are categorized as consumers due to the fact that they consume dead organic matter such as plants and animals. They differ from producers (green plants and some bacteria) because they do not produce their own food using photosynthesis or chemosythensis.
Hope this helped!

Why does a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude
inna [77]

Answer:

According to your question although I think an object undergoing uniform circular motion is moving with a constant speed. Nevertheless, it is accelerating due to its change in direction. The direction of the acceleration is inwards,therefore a force perpendicular to an objects velocity change the direction of the velocity but not its magnitude.

Which of the following best describes why a white dwarf cannot have a mass greater than the 1.4 solar mass limit? A. White dwarf
Basile [38]

Answer: C. Electron degeneracy pressure depends on the speeds of electrons, which approach the speed of light as a white dwarf's mass approaches the 1.4-solar-mass limit.
