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

Elden [556K]
The answer is B. build up of plant materials. This is because those rocks that are composed of materials, which are organic matters from decaying plants, formed by biological activity are called biogenic or organic or non-clastic rocks. On the other hand, clastic rocks are made up of gravel, sand, silt, and clay.
