Answer:

4 2/3 m/s

Explanation:

first thing to find the average acceleration is to figure out what the increase in speed was, we can do that by subtracting the original speed from the speed after accelerating, that looks like:

40 - 12 = 28

so the lizard accelerated 28 m/s in 6 seconds, to find the average increase in m/s every second, we divide the m/s by the seconds, which gives us:

28 / 6 = 4.66 = 4 2/3 m/s

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf \frac{14}{3} \ or \ 4.6667 \ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration can be found using the following formula.

a=\frac{v_f-v_1}{t}

where v_f is the final velocity, v_i is the initial velocity and t is the time.

The lizard started at 12.0 m/s and accelerated up to its final velocity of 40.0 m/s in 6 seconds.

Therefore:

v_f= 40.0 \ m/s \\v_i= 12.0 \ m/s \\t= 6 \ s

Substitute the variables into the formula.

a=\frac{40.0 \ m/s - 12.0 \ m/s}{6 \ s}

Solve the numerator first and subtract.

  • 40.0 m/s - 12.0 m/s= 28 m/s

a=\frac{ 28 \ m/s}{6 \ s}

Divide.

a= \frac{14}{3} \ m/s/s= \frac{14}{3} \ m/s^2

a=4.66667 \ m/s^2

The lizard's average acceleration is <u>14/3 or 4.66667 m/s²</u>

saad has mass 80kg when resting on the ground at the equator what will be the centripetal acceleration on saad if the radius of
Sidana [21]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

m = 80 kg
R = 6.4 x 10^6 m
Earth completes one rotation in 24 hours
Thus, T = 24 x 3600 s
Centripetral acceleration is given by 
ac = w^2R 
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R = 4 pie^2/(24 x 3600)^2 x 6.4 x 10^6
ac = 0.034 m/s^2

a small table has a mass of 4kg, stands on four legs, each leg having an area of 0.001 m2. what is the pressure exerted by the t
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

P = 10 kPa

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a small table, m = 4 kg

The area of each leg = 0.001 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by the table on the floor. Pressure is equal to the force per unit area. So

P=\dfrac{mg}{4\times A}\\\\P=\dfrac{4\times 10}{4\times 0.001}\\P=10000\ Pa\\\\or\\\\P=10\ kPa

So, the required pressure is 10 kPa.

When we kept the Earth's mass the same, but shrank its size, we saw that had an effect on its escape speed. Albert Einstein used
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

The escape velocity is the velocity needed by any object to overcome the gravitational force of the planet on which it’s present. Now we know that the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the planet and inversely proportional to the distance of the object from the center of planet.

If we keep the mass of earth constant and decrease the size of the earth than this will decrease the distance between the object and the center of the earth and thus the gravitational force that will act on the body will increase substantially which will in turn increase the value of the escape velocity.

The value of escape velocity will keep on increasing as the size of the earth will shrink till it reaches to a point when the value of escape velocity becomes more than the speed of light and since it’s impossible to travel with a speed greater than the speed of light and therefore at this point it will become impossible for a spacecraft to escape the earth.
