I'm pretty Sure it's A. Burning fossil fuels releases energy and causes air pollution.    But I could be wrong.

A car slows down from speed of 72
Nastasia [14]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity = 72km/hr

Final velocity  = 0km/hr

Time taken  = 25s

Unknown:

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, convert km/hr to m/s;

           1000m = 1km

           3600s = 1hr

  72km/hr;

          1km/hr  = 0.278m/s

         72km/hr = 0.278 x 72  = 20.02m/s

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken;

       Acceleration = \frac{final velocity - initial velocity }{time}  

       Acceleration  = \frac{0 - 20.02}{25}   = -0.8m/s

The car  is actually decelerating at a rate of 0.8m/s

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>

A soccer player takes a corner kick, lofting a stationary ball 33.0° above the horizon at 15.0 m/s. If the soccer ball has a mas
Alexxandr [17]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the soccer ball, m = 0.425 kg

Speed of the ball, u = 15 m/s

Angle with horizontal, \theta=33^{\circ}

Time for which the player's foot is in contact with it, \Delta t = 5.1\times 10^{-2}\ s

Part A,

The x component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_x=mv\ cos\theta

\Delta p_x=0.425\times 15\ cos(33)

p_x=5.34\ kg-m/s

The y component of the soccer ball's change in momentum is given by :

\Delta p_y=mv\ sin\theta

\Delta p_y=0.425\times 15\ sin(33)

p_y=3.47\ kg-m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

If the acceleration of a motorboat is 4.0 m/s2, and the motorboat starts from rest, what is its velocity after 6.0 s?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the motorboat, a = 4.0 m/s²

initial velocity of the motorboat, u = 0

time of motion of the motorboat = 6s

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the velocity of the motorboat after 6 ;

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4 x 6)

v = 24 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the motorboat after 6s is 24 m/s.
