A race car reaches the finish line and the driver slows down to come to a stop. If it takes the car 10 seconds to stop at a cons
boyakko [2]

Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s

A typical running track is an oval with 74-mm-diameter half circles at each end. A runner going once around the track covers a d
lisabon 2012 [21]

The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.

Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m,       Time = 100 s.

Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s

                         v = 4 \times 10^-3 m/s.

radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.

            centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r

                                                        = (4 \times 10^-3)^2 / 0.037

                                                    a = 4.32 \times 10^-4 m/s^2.

Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--<span>that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Suppose you are standing at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point to
Brut [27]

Answer:

It would point up.

Explanation:

Since I am at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward, the north pole of the compass would also point towards the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, since all other compasses point toward there.

Since the compass is free to swivel in any direction, the compass would point up, since it is at the earth's geographic north magnetic pole, the place on the earth's surface that compasses point toward.

So, the compass would point up.

Joe first focuses his attention (and his eyes) on the tree. The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be ______
kotykmax [81]

Answer: The focal length of the cornea-lens system in his eye must be LESS THAN the distance between the front and back of his eye.

Explanation:

The human eye the front part of the eye is the CORNEA. This is the tough white transparent part of the eye that helps in the refraction of light rays. While the backside of the eye is the RETINA. This is the part of the eye when images are focused.

When a normal eye is at rest, parallel rays from a distant object are focused on the retina. The ability of the eye - lens to focus points at different distances on the retina is known as accomodation. The adjustment of the eye lens to focus objects of varying distances is brought about by the ciliary muscles. The have the ability to change the shape of the eye which leads to change in focal length.

When a person with normal vision looks at a distant object at infinity, the lens brings parallel rays to focus on the retina. Thus, the furthest point which the eye can see distinctly is called the far point of the eye and it's infinity for a normal eye. But Joe was able to focus his eye on the tree, meaning that the tree was within his near point. This is the nearest point at which an object is clearly seen. Therefore, when the effective focal length of the cornea-lens system changes, it changes the location of the image of any object in one's field of view.
