Answer:

–8.35 m/s²

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 104 km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

3.6 Km/h = 1 m/s

Therefore,

104 km/h = 104 km/h × 1 m/s / 3.6 Km/h

104 km/h = 28.89 m/s

Thus, 104 km/h is equivalent to 28.89 m/s.

Finally, we shall determine the deceleration of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 28.89 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) = 50 m

Deceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 28.89² + (2 × a × 50)

0 = 834.6321 + 100a

Collect like terms

0 – 834.6321 = 100a

–834.6321 = 100a

Divide both side by 100

a = –834.6321 / 100

a = –8.35 m/s²

Thus, the deceleration of the car is –8.35 m/s².

enyata [817]

As we presume that the fluid density is greater than the gas density based on common sense, the volume of the balloon decreases. The mass per unit volume is known as fluid density.

Greek letter stands in for and (rho). Mass per length squared, or M/L3, is the unit of measurement for density. Specific Weight vs. Weight Density: A fluid density, also known as specific density, is determined by dividing the fluid's weight by its volume. Weight per volume of a fluid is also referred to as weight density.

A mathematical term called "volume" describes how much three-dimensional space is occupied by an item or a closed surface. The measurement of volume is done in cubic units, like m3, cm3, in3, etc.

What is happening if energy input remains constant and voltage remains the same in a circuit, but the current decreases?
DENIUS [597]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. The correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The resistance has increased. </span>
