A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

the car's average acceleration in ft/s2? (b) In 3.0 more seconds, the car is going 76 ft/s (52 mi/h). What is the car's average acceleration for this time period?

Answer:

a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

a)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\

b)

a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}

Identify the stage in cellular respiration that produces carbon dioxide as a waste product
ollegr [7]
During cellular respiration, organisms use oxygen to turn glucose into carbon dioxide, water, and energy in the form of ATP. The process has three stages: glycolysis , the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. Glycolysis in the cytoplasm ), breaks down 1 glucose into 2 pyruvate and 2 ATP. The Krebs cycle (in the mitochondrion's matrix), provides the hydrogen and electrons needed for the electron transport chain. Another 2 are formed here. The electron transport chain (on the inner mitochondrial membrane) forms 32 ATP through oxidative phosphorylation .

Recall some things you already know about projectile motion. Does a force in the vertical direction affect the horizontal compon
azamat

Answer:

vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.   t =x/v₀ₓ

Explanation:

The force is a vector magnitude, so the forces on the x-axis affect the acceleration on this axis. Consequently a vertical force cannot change the velocity on the x-axis.

     F_{y} = m g

    Fₓ = 0

The horizontal velocity in projectile motion is constant, if we neglect the air resistance, so it can be used to find the time of a horizontal displacement

       x = v₀ₓ t

       t =x/v₀ₓ

The only magnitude that is the same for both movements is the time that is a scalar
