At t=10 ~\text{s}t=10 s, a particle is moving from left to right with a speed of 5.0 ~\text{m/s}5.0 m/s. At t=20 ~\text{s}t=20 s

, the particle is moving right to left with a speed of 8.0 ~\text{m/s}8.0 m/s. Assuming the particle’s acceleration is constant, determine its average acceleration. Assume positive is on the right.

Answer:

a=6.5m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

We can use the equation v=v_0+a(t-t_0) where v is the velocity at time t and v_0 the velocity at t_0. Since we want the acceleration we write this equation as:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}

Considering the <em>direction to the right as the positive one</em>, we have v_0=+5m/s at t_0=10s, and v=-8m/s at t_0=8s, so we substitute:

a=\frac{v-v_0}{t-t_0}=\frac{(-8m/s)-(5m/s)}{(10s)-(8s)}=\frac{-13m/s}{2s}=-6.5m/s^2

Where the minus sign indicates it is directed to the left.

shtirl [24]

Answer:

1020 km

Explanation:

A complete rotation of the wheel equals a distance of 1 circumference.

The circumference is

C = \pi d

where <em>d</em> is the diameter of the wheel.

300,000 rotations = 300000\pi d = 300000\times\pi\times1.08\text{ m} = 1017876.0\ldots\text{ m}

In kilometers, this is = 1017876/1000 km = 1020 km

Answer:

The state of the person under the influence of alcohol

The place in which the memory was initially encoded for the retrieval of information.

Retrieval of information is generally better given similar rather than different contextual cues Motivational and emotional factors

These are also likely to affect recall and forgetting.

A 15.0 cm object is 12.0 cm from a convex mirror that has a focal length of -6.0 cm. What is the height of the image produced by
Vlad [161]

Answer: D. 5cm

Explanation:

Given the following :

Focal length (f) = - 6.0 cm

Height of object = 15.0cm

Distance of object from mirror (u) = 12.0cm

Height of image produced by the mirror =?

Firstly, we calculate the distance of the image from the mirror.

Using the mirror formula

1/f = 1/u + 1/v

1/v = 1/f - 1/u

1/v = 1/-6 - 1/12

1/v = - 1/6 - 1/12

1/v = (- 2 - 1) / 12

1/v = - 3 / 12

v = 12 / - 3

v = - 4

Using the relation :

(Image height / object height) = (- image distance / object distance)

Image height / 15 = - (-4) / 12

Image height / 15 = 4 / 12

Image height = (15 × 4) / 12

Image height = 60 / 12

Image height = 5cm
