A car is traveling with a constant speed of 30.0 m/s when the driver suddenly applies the brakes, causing the car to slow down w
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

a = - 3.75 m/s²

negative sign indicates deceleration here.

Explanation:

In order to find the constant deceleration of the car, as it stops, we will use the 3rd equation of motion. The 3rd equation of motion is as follows:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

a = (Vf² - Vi²)/2s

where,

a = deceleration of the car = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s (Since, the car finally stops)

Vi = Initial Velocity = 30 m/s

s = distance covered by the car = 120 m

Therefore,

a = [(0 m/s)² - (30 m/s)²]/(2)(120 m)

<u>a = - 3.75 m/s²</u>

<u>negative sign indicates deceleration here.</u>

True or false:<br> All of the rivers in the United States are closely monitored For pollution levels
Nutka1998 [239]

All of the rivers in the United States are not monitored closely for pollution levels.

The statement in the question is False

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Not all rivers in the United States are closely monitored for their pollution levels. There are volunteers who take responsibility of checking water bodies such as lakes, rivers, streams etc. They take the next step required after finding a water body contaminated.

But to say that all the rivers receive the same amount of attention and action is incorrect. To ensure that all the rivers are clean and pollution free, it would require a lot of man power in the said department which would collect the water samples from all these rivers and send it to labs for checking the pollution level of the particular river. It can be said that the rivers which are situated beside an industrial site, close to a town, will be the priority for checking pollution levels as it would directly cause harm to a small set of population if the toxicity is at an increased level.

Ann [662]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of the average velocity at which the supplies are travelling in air. The formula to be used here if the completed question is obtained is

Average velocity (in m/s) =  distance (m) ÷ time (s)

Since we are looking for the time, then time should be made the subject of the formula

time (in secs) = distance ÷ average velocity
