Average acceleration<span> is the change in velocity divided by an elapsed time.  So, we can calculate it as follows:

acceleration = 5 - 0 / 10 - 0 = 0.5 kilometers/second^2

Therefore the correct answer is option D.

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Average acceleration  =  (change in speed)  /  (time for the change)

The missile's change in speed is  (5,000 - 0)  =  5,000 m/s

Average acceleration  =  (5,000 m/s)  /  (10 sec)

                                 =      500 m/s²       (about  51 Gs)

Inconveniently, this isn't one of the choices on the list. Is there something wrong, either with the choices or with my solution ?

No. Relax. Everything is OK.

500 meters is the same thing as 0.5 kilometer.  So my answer can also be written as  0.5 km/s² .  That doesn't change anything, and it IS one of the listed choices.

The average acceleration is <em>0.5 km/sec²  (d)</em> .

When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g
Olegator [25]

Answer:

Your question was incomplete so here is the complete question and answer.

Q. When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g., 10K race)

a) plain water

b) 5-7 percent glucose solution

c) Glucose polymer solution of 6-8 percent

d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Ans. d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Explanation:

Temperature Regulation is an important phenomenon for the person exposed to extreme hot conditions or weather. Exercising in hot conditions increase the body temperature. Greater and intense exercise, greater the production of heat. Then the heat dissipation takes place in the form of excessive sweating which results in dehydration. That was just the brief overview of temperature regulation. Above mentioned techniques are equally good hydration techniques so there is no difference at all. You can have a plain water or glucose solutions of above mentioned percentages.
