Answer:

a = 7.6\ mph/s

Explanation:

Motion With Constant Acceleration

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly in time.

The equation that describes the change of velocities is:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Where:

a = acceleration

vo = initial speed

vf = final speed

t = time

Solving the equation [for a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}$

The car accelerates from vo=0 to vf=60 mph in t=7.9 s, thus the acceleration is:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{60 \ mph-0}{7.9}$

a = 7.6\ mph/s

An object has a mass of 0.250 kg. What is the gravitational force of on the object by the earth?

sesenic [268]

Answer:

2.4525 N

Explanation:

The earths gravity is 9.81 N/Kg

And so to work this out you would multiply 9.81 by 0.250 which equals to 2.4525N

Exactly one turn of a flexible rope with mass m is wrapped around a uniform cylinder with mass M and radius R.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

$\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{M+m}{M})}$

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy when the cylinder is with the rope is:

$E_k=\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega_0^2+\frac{1}{2}I_r\omega_0^2$

where we used the fact that both rope and cylinder hast the same w. This E_k must conserve, that is, E_k must equal E_k when the rope leaves the cylinder. Hence, the final w is given by:

$E_{k1}=E_{k2}\\\\\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega_0^2+\frac{1}{2}I_r\omega_0^{2}=\frac{1}{2}I_c\omega^2\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{I_c+I_r}{I_c})}$ (1)

For Ic and Ir we can assume that the rope is a ring of the same radius of the cylinder. Then, we have:

$I_c=\frac{1}{2}MR^2\\\\I_r=mR^2$

Finally, by replacing in (1):

$\omega=\sqrt{\omega_0^2(\frac{M+m}{M})}$

hope this helps!!

Of the planets with atmospheres, which is the warmest? a. Venusb. Earthc. Marsd. Jupiter

tangare [24]

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is full of gases that move at high speeds in giant eddies. Its atmosphere consists mostly of gases such as hydrogen that generate a temperature fluctuation of around 128K.

On Earth, due to the protection of the Ozone Layer and the presence of Nitrogen and Oxygen, the temperature fluctuates by an average of 300K.

In the case of Mars, its atmosphere is thin, mostly composed of Carbon Dioxide and Diatomic Nitrogen, which allow a temperature oscillation of 210K.

In contrast, the atmosphere of Venus is thick and is composed of carbon dioxide that does not allow the sun's rays to escape, generating an extreme 'greenhouse effect' with temperatures ranging from 737K,

Correct Answer is A.

You drop a 20 Ton object and a

Alborosie

Explanation:

it dosent depend on the weights of the items. I'll reach the ground at same time taking as no air friction or restrictions.

i.e

v = u + gt

whte v is final velocity of the object

u is initial velocity of the object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

t is time. thanks

please if found helpful rate brainliest
