A car traveling at 21 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 13 seconds. What is its acceleration?

The formula for acceleration is the velocity times the inverse of time so it would be 21 times 1/13. So roughly 0.0769... is the acceleration(m/s^2).

At a given instant in time, two cars are traveling at different velocities, one twice as large as the other. Based on this infor
Sati [7]

Answer: No, is not possible.

Explanation:

We have two cars traveling at different velocities, one with velocity v and other with velocity 2*v

We want to know of it is possible to say which of these two cars has the larger acceleration at this instant of time.

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity, for example, if acceleration = 0, the velocity does not change.

Notice that knowing only the velocity at a given instant of time, we do not have any way of knowing the acceleration of each car.

Such that acceleration is given by the second Newton's equation:

F = m*a

force equals mass times acceleration.

We do not know any of these quantities for the cars, so we can not say anything about the accelerations.

We also could know the average acceleration if we know the change in velocity over an interval of time, such that:

Av acceleration = (change in velocity)/(interval of time)

But here we do not have a change in velocity, so again, we can't say anything about the acceleration.

A mass of gas has a volume of 4m3, a temperature of 290k, and an absolute pressure of 475 kpa. When the gas is allowed to expand
motikmotik

Given:

V1 = 4m3

T1 = 290k

P1 = 475 kpa = 475000 Pa

V2 = 6.5m3

T2 = 277K

Required:

P

Solution:

n = PV/RT

n = (475000 Pa)(4m3) / (8.314 Pa-m3/mol-K)(290k)

n = 788 moles

P = nRT/V

P  = (788 moles)(8.314 Pa-m3/mol-K)(277K)/(6.5m3)

P = 279,204 Pa or 279 kPa

Harrizon [31]
<span>that statement is true. In walking process, we need the force of friction so our feet could pushed back agains the ground. Without the force of friction it would be really hard to stand. And even we could stand, we will be sliding all over the place when we try to walk.</span>

Imagine two starts are exactly the same size, but one of the stars to greater mass than the other.which star will burn out all o
Neko [114]

Answer:

The larger star will burn out faster. as nuclear fuel is burned out due to higher percentage being consumed.

Explanation:

Gravity on the other hand is only affected a little during this process and mass use. Solar mass loss is caused by mass that is turned into energy (E=mc²), but also by the material that is lost to the solar wind.

Four of the wavelengths of the Balmer series occur in the visible spectrum (656 nm, 486 nm, 434 nm, and 410 nm). In which region
djyliett [7]

Answer: radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic spectrum increases in wavelength and decreases with frequency in the following order

Gamma ray, X ray, Ultraviolet rays, Visible light, Infrared rays, Radio waves.

Since 397nm is greater than the value of visible spectrum, this shows that radio waves, microwaves and infrared wave falls in the spectrums of the wavelength value.
