Mike was driving 30km/hr and slowed to 20km/hr in 10 seconds what is his acceleration? (number only)

Physics

Mandarinka [93]3 years ago

Answer:

-0.28 m/s²

Explanation:

acceleration, a = (v - u)/t where u = initial velocity = 30 km/hr = 30 × 1000/3600 = 8.33 m/s and v = final velocity = 20 km/hr = 20 × 1000/3600 = 5.56 m/s and t = time = 10 s.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

a = (v - u)/t

= (5.56 m/s - 8.33 m/s)/10 s

= -2.77 m/s ÷ 10 s

= -0.277 m/s²

≅ -0.28 m/s²

As water heats in a pot on a stove, it might produce some mist above its surface right before the water begins to roll. What is
mr_godi [17]
When a liquid is heated, the molecules gain kinetic energy. As the liquid begins to boil they have enough energy to break the intermolecular attractions between their neighbors. This happens first at the surface before the volume below has enough energy to boil. Thus you see high energy water molecules escaping from the surface as mist.

If you dropped a ball from a height of 10 m and measured its distance to the ground every 0.1 s, what would the graph of positio
wlad13 [49]

If you dropped a ball from any height, and measured its distance from the ground at any regular interval while it's falling, the graph of that distance versus time would be a graph that curves downward.

-- The ball is falling down.  As time goes on, it gets closer and closer to the ground.  Its remaining distance from the ground keeps decreasing, so the line on the graph slopes down.

-- The speed of the ball keeps increasing (it accelerates) because of the gravitational force on it. As time goes on, it covers more of the remaining distance during each interval than it did in the previous interval. The downward slope of the graph keeps increasing.

As a transformer generates ac current of different voltage when the switch is closed and the current flows in the primary coil which induces a magnetic field.

Answer: Option 2

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is an electric device which can vary the potential differences or voltages of an alternating current. It's a simple device composed of an iron core, a primary and the secondary current conducting coil.

The primary coil is attached to the switch which provides ac current through potential difference. Now this current induces a magnetic field in the iron core. When the voltage of this ac current is varied, the magnetic field varies and starts inducing ac current of different voltage in the secondary coil.

Thus, an AC current of different voltage flows in the secondary coil that can be used in small electric devices. This is how a transformer works. There are two kinds of transformers- Step Up and Step Down. A step up transformer increases the potential difference whereas the step down does the opposite.
