Answer:

The time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the car, u = 0

time of motion, t = 2.4 s

initial distance traveled, d = 15 m

determine the constant acceleration of the car;

d = ut  +  ¹/₂at²

15 = 0  +  (0.5 x 2.4²)a

15 = 2.88a

a = 15 / 2.88

a = 5.21 m/s²

The velocity of the car at the end of the first 15 m

v - u + at

v = 0 + 5.21 x 2.4

v = 12.5 m/s

The time to cover the next 15 m;

d₂ = vt  + ¹/₂at²

15 = 12.5t  +  (0.5 x 5.21)t²

15 = 12.5t  +  2.61t²

0 = 2.61t²  +   12.5t   -  15

Use the formula method to solve the above quadratic equation.

a = 2.61

b = 12.5

c = -15

t = \frac{-b \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a} \\\\t = \frac{-12.5 \ \ +/-   \ \ \sqrt{12.5^2 - (4\times 2.61 \times -15)} }{2\times 2.61}\\\\t = 0.9937 \ s \ \ \ or \ \ \ -5.78 \ s\\\\time \ can \ only \ be \ positive;\\\\t \approx \ 1\ s

Therefore, the time it will take the car to travel the next 15 m is 1 s.

If the water in a lake is everywhere at rest, what is the pressure as a function of distance from the surface? The air above the
Rudiy27

Answer:

Answer:

101325 + 10055.25h

//

h = 10.1 m

Explanation:

the pressure at sea level =  1 atm = 101325 Pa

density of sea water = 1025 kg/ m^(3)

pressure due to fluid height = pgh

Absolute pressure = 101325 + 1025*9.81*h

                               = 101325 + 10055.25h

where h= 0 at sea level at increases downwards

//

101325 = 1025* 9.81* h

h = 10.1 m

The literary movement with which Wilde is most closely associated is Select one: a. romanticism b. existentialism c. Art for art
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Correct answer is ''c'' Art for art's Sake

Explanation:

Wilde wrote in the literary movement called Aestheticism during the late nineteenth century. Contrary to popular belief, Wilde did not create the literary movement, but played a role as a leader who promoted the movement. While Wilde was a college student the works of Algernon Charles Swinburne and Edgar Allan Poe influenced his own writing style. Also, the English essayist Walter Pater helped to form Wilde's humanistic aesthetics.

The philosophical foundations of Aestheticism come from Immanuel Kant. He formulated the idea of "art for art's sake". He believed that art was to be enjoyed for its own beauty regardless of social or moral concerns.

If you drive through water, your brakes may become slippery and ineffective. To dry the brakes off, __________.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Water at normal temperature is a good lubricant  and will hinder the brake from working properly when  the road is wet. To dry the brakes off, apply brakes gently as you accelerate. This will generate some heat that will evaporate the water with the help of friction.
