False

Explanation:

Called an asteroid for many years, Ceres is so much bigger and so different from its rocky neighbors that scientists classified it as a dwarf planet in 2006. Even though Ceres comprises 25 percent of the asteroid belt's total mass, tiny Pluto is still 14 times more massive.

A car slows down at -5.00 m/s² until it comes to a stop after travelling 15.0 m. What was the initial speed of the car?

lapo4ka [179]

<h2>Answer: 12.24m/s</h2>

According to <u>kinematics</u> this situation is described as a uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion. This means the acceleration while the car is in motion is constant.

Now, among the equations related to this type of motion we have the following that relates the velocity with the acceleration and the distance traveled:

$V_{f}^{2}-V_{o}^{2}=2.a.d$ (1)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the Final Velocity of the car. We are told "the car comes to a stop after travelling", this means it is 0.

$V_{o}$ is the Initial Velocity, the value we want to find

$a$ is the constant acceleration of the car (the negative sign means the car is decelerating)

$d$ is the distance traveled by the car

Now, let's substitute the known values in equation (1) and find $V_{o}$ :

$0-V_{o}^{2}=2(-5m/{s}^{2})(15m)$ (2)

$-V_{o}^{2}=-150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}$ (3)

Multiplying by -1 on both sides of the equation:

$V_{o}^{2}=150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}$ (4)

$V_{o}=\sqrt{150{m}^{2}/{s}^{2}}$ (5)

Finally:

$V_{o}=12.24m/s$ >>>This is the Initial velocity of the car

If i punch my self and it will hurt am i weak or strong

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

You're strong.

Explanation:

I've been thinking of this for quite a while, and I realized that your body has a certain limit to how much pain it can take. So, punching yourself extremely hard will cause pain, because that's your body's reaction to immense pressure being put on it. But, the fact that you punched yourself so hard that it hurts, shows that you are capable of applying so much pressure; therefore, you are strong.

A block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so that the

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The answer is "a, c and b"

Explanation:

Its total block power is equal to the amount of potential energy and kinetic energy.
Because the original block expansion in all situations will be the same, its potential power in all cases is the same.
Because the block in the first case has no initial speed, the block has zero film energy.
For both the second example, it also has the $v_o$ velocity, but the kinetic energy is higher among the three because its potential and kinetic energy are higher.
While over the last case the kinetic speed is greater and lower than in the first case, the total energy is also higher than the first lower than that of the second.
The greater the amplitude was its greater the total energy, therefore lower the second, during the first case the higher the amplitude.
