Answer:

53.64 m/s

Explanation:

Applying,

a = (v-u)/t............. Equation 1

Where a = acceleration of the car, v = final velocity of the car, u = initial velocity of the car, t = time.

make u the subject of the equation

u = v-at............. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: a = -12 mph/s = -5.364 m/s², t = 10 seconds, v = 0 m/s (comes to stop)

Substitute these values into equation 2

u = 0-(-5.364×10)

u = 0+53.64

u = 53.64 m/s

Answer:

1.86 m

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes to travel the horizontal distance.  Given:

Δx = 52 m

v₀ = 26 m/s cos 31.5° ≈ 22.2 m/s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

52 m = (22.2 m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 2.35 s

Next, find the vertical displacement.  Given:

v₀ = 26 m/s sin 31.5° ≈ 13.6 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 2.35 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (13.6 m/s) (2.35 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (2.35 s)²

Δy = 4.91 m

The distance between the ball and the crossbar is:

4.91 m − 3.05 m = 1.86 m

Elden [556K]
<span>B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria.</span>

Looking at the data, the conclusion is pretty obvious, the two different types of soap resulted in about half the bacteria cultures as either the hand sanitizer, or just using warm water. In fact, the hand sanitizer looks like it's even worse than simply using warm water. So looking at the four available options, the best choice is "B) Both soap brands out perform hand sanitizer in killing bacteria."

what device is made of coils of wire with an electrical current passing through it in order to generate a magnetic field
Umnica [9.8K]

Transformer

<u>Explanation:</u>

A transformer is a device with two or more magnetically coupled windings. A time varying current in one coil (primary winding) generates a magnetic field which induces a voltage in the other coil (secondary winding). Transformers are capable of either increasing or decreasing the voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency, or the amount of electrical power being transferred from one winding to another via the magnetic circuit. There are two types of transformer:

1. Step up transformer - increases voltage

2. Step down transformer - decreases voltage
