For this problem, we use the derived equations for rectilinear motion at constant acceleration.

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
a is acceleration
v₀ and v are the initial and final velocities, respectively
x is the distance
t is the time

The solution is as follows:
a = (v - v₀)/t
0.06 m/s² = (v - 5 m/s)/(8 min * 60 s/1 min)
Solving for v,
v = 33.8 m/s

(a) We will use the equation v = u + at
Initial velocity u = 5.00 m/s 
Acceleration a = 0.0600 m/s² 
time = 8 min = 8 x 60 = 480 s 
Final velocity 
= u + at 
= 5.00 + 0.0600(480) 
= 33.8 m/s

The final velocity is 33.8 m/s

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

A kilometer is less than a mile, therefore if a horse can finish one mile in less than 2 minutes then it can certainly do a kilometer in less than two minutes.

Two planes leave wichita at noon. one plane flies east 30 mi/h faster than the other plane, which is flying west. at what time w
scoundrel [369]
You have to take note of the individual directions of the plane. Since one is heading east, and the other is heading west, the planes are heading at opposite directions. So, it means that their distance between each other would be equal to 1,200 miles which accounts for the sum of their individual distances. The equation is as follows:

Total Distance = Distance of slower plane + Distance of faster plane
1,200 miles = st + (30+s)(t)
where
s is the speed of the slower plane and t is the time. Since both are not given, the final answer would just be in terms of s.
1,200 = t(s + 30 + s)
t = 1200/(30+2s)
t = 600/(15+s)

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
