Answer:

The answer to your question is: -6m/s²

Explanation:

Data

vo = 30 m/s

vf = 12 m/s

t = 3 s

a = ?

Formula

vf = vo + at

a = (vt - vo) / t

Process

                a = (12 - 30) / 3                substitution

                a = -18 / 3                         simplify

                a = -6 m/s²                        result, is negative because the car

                                                          is slowing down.

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

We have the equation V = at  (speed = acceleration x time)

We want to find the time, so can rearrange to T = V/a (time = speed / acceleration).

From the question, we know V is 5 and a is 0.5.

Now we can substitute that into our equation: 5/0.5 = 10.

So the time is 10 seconds.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)

What is the acceleration aaa of the refrigerator 4 ss after the person begins pushing on it with a force of 400 NN
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

2 ms^2

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the refrigerator  is 200Kg

The net force acting on the refrigerator is 400N

The time takes is 4s

From Newtons's second law of motion;

F =ma

a = F/m

a = 400/200

a = 2 ms^2

This is a constant acceleration

Blood pressure is usually measured by wrapping a closed air-filled jacket equipped with a pressure gage around the upper arm of
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Explanation:

a) <em>High and low pressures in kilopascals</em>:

101.325 kPa equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{high} = 15.999\,kPa

p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{101.325\,kPa}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{low} = 10.666\,kPa

High and low pressures are 15.999 kilopascals and 10.666 kilopascals, respectively.

b) <em>High and low pressures in pounds per square inch</em>:

14.696 psi equals 760 mm Hg, then, we can obtain the values by a single conversion:

p_{high} = 120\,mm\,Hg\times \frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{high} = 2.320\,psi

p_{low} = 80\,mm\,Hg\times\frac{14.696\,psi}{760\,mm\,Hg}

p_{low} = 1.547\,psi

High and low pressures are 2.320 pounds per square inch and 1.547 pounds persquare inch, respectively.

c) <em>High and low pressures in meter water column in meters water column</em>:

We can calculate the equivalent water column of a mercury column by the following relation:

\frac{h_{w}}{h_{Hg}} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}

h_{w} = \frac{\rho_{Hg}}{\rho_{w}}\times h_{Hg} (Eq. 1)

Where:

\rho_{w}, \rho_{Hg} - Densities of water and mercury, measured in kilograms per cubic meter.

h_{w}, h_{Hg} - Heights of water and mercury columns, measured in meters.

If we know that \rho_{w} = 1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, \rho_{Hg} = 13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}}, h_{Hg, high} = 0.120\,m and h_{Hg, low} = 0.080\,m, then we get that:

h_{w, high} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.120\,m

h_{w, high} = 1.632\,m

h_{w, low} = \frac{13600\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} }{1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} } \times 0.080\,m

h_{w, low} = 1.088\,m

High and low pressures are 1.632 meters water column and 1.088 meters water column, respectively.

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 7.0 nC. Using insulatin
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.

Explanation:

This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.

This process is called Charging by Conduction.

This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.

In case you're wondering, "<em>how's all this possible within a few seconds</em>?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.
