If someone is driving 100 miles in 60 minutes then drives 150 miles in 100 minutes west, what is his acceleration rate.

Sliva [168]3 years ago

Answer:

his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial position of the car, x₀ = 100 miles = 160, 900 m ( 1 mile = 1609 m)

time of motion, t₀ = 60 minutes = 60 mins x 60 s = 3,600 s

final position of the car, x₁ = 150 miles = 241,350 m

time of motion, t₁ = 100 minutes = 100 mins x 60 s = 6,000 s

The initial velocity is calculated as;

u = 160, 900 m / 3,600 s

u = 44.694 m/s

The final velocity is calculated as;

v = 241,350 m / 6,000 s

v = 40.225 m/s

The acceleration is calculated as;

a = \frac{\Delta V}{\Delta t} = \frac{v- u}{t_1 - t_ 0} = \frac{40.225  - 44.694}{6000-3600} = -0.00186 \ m/s^2\\\\

Therefore, his acceleration rate is -0.00186 m/s²

Use the formula from Newtons second law, namely Fnet=∆t=∆P that the Net force exerted on the object is equal to the product of t
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Fnet = Δt = ΔP

Fnet = ΔP/Δt

= mv - mu / t

= m(v - u) / t

But we know v = u + at

=> a = v - u / t

Therefore,

Fnet = ma

What is the surface temperature of a star that has a peak wavelength of 290 nm?
Maksim231197 [3]
We need to use Wien's Law

Wavelength = 0.0028976 [m.K] / T

This establishes a relation between the wavelength and temperature of a black body (any body that absorbs radiation, such as the stars)

T = 0.0028976 [m.K]/290 E-9[m]  = 9991.724 K

The atmospheric pressure at the surface of titan is.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

about 1.5 bars

Titan's atmosphere is similar to Earth's both in the predominance of nitrogen gas and in surface pressure, which is about 1.5 bars, or 50 percent higher than sea-level pressure on Earth.

1. Determine the magnitude of two equal but opposite charges if they attract one another with a force of 0.7N when at distance o
adell [148]

Answer:

q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C

Explanation:

For this exercise we use Coulomb's law

        F =k \frac{q_1q_2}{r^2}

In this case they indicate that the load is of equal magnitude

       q₁ = q₂ = q

the force is attractive because the signs of the charges are opposite

       F = k \ \frac{q^2}{r^2}

       q = \sqrt{\frac{F \ r^2}{k} }

we calculate

        q = \sqrt{\frac{0.7 \ 0.3^2 }{9 \ 10^9}  }

        q = \sqrt{7 \ 10^{-12} }Ra 7 10-12

        q = 2.65 10⁻⁶ C
