A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\$

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Analyze how some insects are able to move around on the surface of a lake or pond

koban [17]

It is called surface tension it is the elastic personality of some liquids as they pull together to take up as little surface area as possible. the water molecules would rather stay together than be pulled apart
