A car starts from rest at a stop sign. It accelerates at 2.0 m/s2 for 6.2 seconds, coasts for 2.5 s , and then slows down at a r

Answer:

the distance between the stop signs is 120.7 m.

Explanation:

The car moved in three stages;

(1) It accelerates from rest at 2.0 m/s² for 6.2 seconds

(2) it moved at a constant speed for 2.5 s

(3) it finally decelerate at the rate of 1.5m/s²

(1) The distance moved by the car during the first stage;

s₁ = ut + ¹/₂at²

s₁ = 0 + ¹/₂ (2)(6.2)²

s₁ = 38.44 m

(2) The distance moved by the car during the second stage;

calculate the constant speed of the car,

v = u + at

v = 0 + 2 x 6.2

v = 12.4 m/s

The distance moved by the  car as it coasts for 2.5s: s₂ = vt

s₂ = 12.4 x 2.5

s₂ = 31 m

(3) The distance moved by the car during the third stage;

When the car stops, the final velocity is zero.

v² = u² + 2as₃

a = -1.5 m/s², since the car slowed down or decelerated.

0 = 12.4² + (2 x - 1.5)s₃

0 = 153.76 - 3s₃

3s₃ = 153.76

s₃ = 153.76 / 3

s₃ = 51.253 m

The total distance moved by the car from the start to stop = s₁ + s₂ + s₃

d = 38.44 m + 31 m + 51.253 m

d = 120.7 m

Therefore, the distance between the stop signs is 120.7 m.

Effects of the earths orbit around the sun

<h3><u>Effects of the earths orbit around the sun:</u></h3>

The earth moves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, Johannes Kepler, a "German mathematician, and astronomer" described this elliptical orbit first. The orbit is close to being a circle but not a circle. Earth orbiting the sun mainly effects on seasons on earth.

Earth's four seasons are determined when Earth is tilted 23.4 degrees on the vertical axis, which is called as “axial tilt”. When a "southern hemisphere is tilted towards the sun", it experiences summer and northern hemisphere experiences winter, exactly opposite happens when northern hemisphere tilts towards Sun and this climate change goes on in all countries.

How do you appreciate sweating mechanism of human body to control the temperature of the body?​
ehidna [41]

Explanation:

When the body temperature tends to rise, such as during physical exercise, the body begins to sweat. The sweat with high water content is secreted in the skin and when it evaporates into the environment, it cools the body. This is due to the property of water having high heat capacity. It carries with it a lot of heat per molecule (because water requires much energy – than most materials - for its temperature to rise by a degree) hence ideal for cooling. This is why on a hot day, sweating makes the skin feel cooler than the surrounding.

A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity
liubo4ka [24]

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2}}

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 \frac{m }{s}

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 \frac{m }{s}
