A. 20m/s because the unit for velocity is m/s

Acar accelerates from 4 meters/second to 16 meters/second in 4 seconds. The car's acceleration is
s2008m [1.1K]

To understand this question, you need to understand the concept of acceleration first. Have you ever been in a car and noticed that it was getting faster and faster? That "speeding up" of the car is known as acceleration! Acceleration is essentially the rate at which you speed up.

Okay, so we now know what acceleration is. What are its units? The unit of acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time: \frac{∆v}{t}

If you haven't learned about velocity yet, just think about it as speed for now. The funny-looking triangle, ∆, is a symbol for "the change of." For example, if I started walking at 3 \frac{feet}{second} then sped up to 5 \frac{feet}{second}, then the change in my speed would be 2 \frac{feet}{second}, because I started walking 2 \frac{feet}{second} faster!

Okay, enough with all the explanations. Hopefully, you understand the units now. Let's take a look at the question. A car accelerates from 4 \frac{meters}{second} to 16 \frac{meters}{second}  in 4 seconds. What would the acceleration be? Let's set up an equation:

a = \frac{∆v}{t}

a is the acceleration, ∆v is the change in velocity, and t is the time elapsed.

Now, let's plug in our values! ∆v is the change in velocity, and to find that we simply have to subtract 16 \frac{meters}{second} by 4 \frac{meters}{second}. That makes sense, right? Back to the equation.

a = \frac{∆v}{t}
a = \frac{16-4}{4}

(16 - 4 is the change in velocity, and 4 is the number of seconds the car was accelerating)

a = \frac{12}{4}

a = 3 (\frac{meters}{second^{2}})

We have our answer! The car's acceleration is 3 meters per second^{2}.

(You might be thinking: Wait. Meters per second squared? The reason for that is because acceleration is the rate at which the speed increases! That makes the unit \frac{\frac{meters}{second}}{second}, which can be simplified down to \frac{meters}{second^{2} })

Let me know if you need clarification on anything I explained here!

Geologists use tools other than the law of superposition to help them with relative dating. Which statements describe those tool
White raven [17]

Answer: Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Explanation:

The options include:

1. An unconformity is created when lava pours out on Earth’s surface.

2. Faults are the result of volcanic activity.

3. Intrusions and extrusions are sedimentary formations.

4. Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

5. When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

The law of superposition simply states that when there is a layers of rocks, we would see that the younger layers will lie and be on top of the layers that are older.

Other tools that can help scientist with relative dating are:

• Cross-cutting features are always younger than the surrounding rock.

• When material erodes before sediment is deposited on it, a geologic gap results.

Which of the following is a characteristic of a mixture
BARSIC [14]
I believe you forgot to add the choices. I will tell you some of the characteristics of mixtures and I hope you find one of them in the choices you have.

A mixture is a physical combination between two or more elements. No chemical reaction is involved in the formation of mixtures.
The components of the mixture can be separated using physical methods such as filtration, boiling and condensation.
Examples of mixtures include mixture of sugar and water or mixture of salt and sugar.
