Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object that is moving. This value is a result of all the forces that is acting on an object which is described by Newton's second law of motion. To determine acceleration, we need to know the initial velocity and the final velocity and the time elapsed. From the given values, we need t o calculate for the initial velocity. We use some kinematic equations. We do as follows:
x = v0t + at^2/2
60 = v0(6) + a(6)^2/2
60 = 6v0 + 18a (EQUATION 1)
vf = v0 + at
15 = v0 + a(6)
15 = v0 + 6a (EQUATION 2)
Solving for v0 and a,
v0 = 5 m/s
a = 1.7 m/s^2
The correct answer to the question is : Electric energy
EXPLANATION :
As per the question, we have an electric generator.
Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the function of generator.
The generator is attached to the turbine. When the turbine rotates, the generator also starts rotating with it. Thanks to electromagnetic induction, the electricity is produced in the coil attached to the generator when it rotates.
Hence, from above, it is obvious that kinetic energy is converted into electric energy.
To calculate the number of sig figs
1. Count ALL nonzero numbers
2. If the zero is between 2 numbers, count it
3. If in a decimal the zero is at the end, count it
4. In a decimal all the zeros before the first nonzero number are placeholders and don't count them
5. In a number greater than zero all zeros AFTER the last nonzero number are placeholders and don't count them.
A - 5
B - 2
C - 3
D - 1
E - 4
Total distance covered = 384 Km
Total time taken to travel from A to B = 8 hours [from 8 am to 4 pm, there are 8 hours]
We know, Average speed = Total Distance Travelled/ Total Time Taken
Therefore, average speed = 384 Km/8 h = 384000m/8×60×60s =(384000/28800)m/s
= 13.3 m/s
Answer is 13.3 m/s
