Answer:

The vertical acceleration is -9.81 m/s^2

Explanation:

When a body is projected, the body experiences an acceleration in the vertical axis that is proportional to the acceleration due to gravity of the earth, which is equal to 9.81 m/s^2. In this case, the acceleration acts to stop the vertical motion of the paper plane, and hence is a deceleration, which explains the negative vertical acceleration.

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran

Pie

Answer:

When a moving car brakes to a stop the kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy.

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation $k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop, the kinetic energy of the car gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.
