|Average acceleration| = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

For the biker:
|Acceleration| = (8 - 0) / (3) = 1-2/3 m/s³

For the car:
|Acceleration| = (30 - 0) / (8) = 3-3/4 m/s³

The magnitude of the car's acceleration is  2-1/4 times
that of the biker ... pretty substantially greater.

The solution for this problem would be:(10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
so start by doing: 
x(5*50*2) - xV + 5V = 0.02(5*50*2) 
500x - xV + 5V = 10 
V(5 - x) = 10 - 500x 
V = (10 - 500x) / (5 - x) 
(V stands for the volume, but leaves us with the expression for x)

hichkok12 [17]
This is a concept of momentum. In equation, momentum is the product of force and distance. When a ball is thrown, its force is constant all throughout unless disturbed by an external force. Therefore, force is the constant of proportionality that relates momentum with distance. When you block a ball from a given distance, you would feel the great force on your hand. In order to reduce the force, you have to follow the direction of the force in order to minimize the impact. By doing this, you gradually decrease the momentum of the ball.

When a potential difference of 10 V is placed across a certain solid cylindrical resistor, the current through it is 2 A. If the
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

New Resistance = 0.5556 ohm

Explanation:

Resistance = resistivity * length /area

Here since resistivity and length are constant, we only need to see how the resistance increases or decreases with change in area.

New Area = pi * (3*D)^2 / 4

Old Area = pi * D^2 / 4

The ratio of new area / old area is :

\frac{New Area}{Old Area} = 9

Since area increases 9 times, and it is inversely proportional to resistance:

Resistance decreases by 9 times.

So, old resistance = Voltage / Current = 10 / 2 = 5 ohm

New Resistance = 5 / 9 = 0.5556 ohm    (decreases by 9 times)

What is the momentum of an object in splace
forsale [732]

Answer:

The total momentum of the universe is always the same and is equal to zero. The total momentum of an isolated system never changes. Momentum can be transferred from one body to another.

Momentum quantifies how likely an object is to stay in motion. Momentum can also be explained using the equation, p=mv, where p is equal to momentum, m is equal to mass, and v is equal to velocity.

Trava [24]

Answer:

rotates faster

Explanation:

A huge rotating cloud of particles in space gravitate together to form an increasingly dense ball As it shrinks in size, the cloud rotates faster. Because Angular momentum is conserved, so when it shrinks the moment of inertia decreases, then angular speed must increase. So it rotates fast.
