Answer:

-2.5 m/s²

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body is the change in it's velocity with time.

The change in velocity with time can be obtained as the slope of a velocity time graph ;

Acceleration = (change in velocity / change in time)

Taking the slope :

Change in Velocity = △y = y2 - y1

Change in time = △x = x2 - x1

(10, 15) ; (0, 40)

△y / △x = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = (40 - 15) / (0 - 10)

△y / △x = 25 / - 10 = - 2.5 m/s²

weqwewe [10]

Choice-B is the correct one.

-- The atomic number is the number of protons in the nucleus.
-- Each proton in the nucleus is usually matched by one electron in the 'cloud'.
-- The addition of a proton OR a neutron increases the mass number by 1 .
-- Electrons have such small mass that they don't figure into the atomic mass at all.

An apple falls from an apple tree growing on a 20° slope. The apple hits the ground with an impact velocity of 16.2 m/s straight

EleoNora [17]

Apple hits the surface with speed 16.2 m/s

The angle made by the apple velocity with normal to the incline surface is given as 20 degree

now the component of velocity which is parallel to the surface and perpendicular to the surface is given as

$v_{perpendicular} = v cos20$

$v_{parallel} = v sin20$

so here we have

$v_{parallel} = 16.2 sin20$

$v_{parallel} = 5.5 m/s$

<em>so its velocity along the incline plane will be 5.5 m/s</em>

BigorU [14]

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

$c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}$

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L
