Answer:

-2.83 m/s²

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity (u) = 34 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 17 m/s
  • Time taken (t) = 6 seconds

❖ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with time.

→ a = (v - u)/t

  • v denotes final velocity
  • a denotes acceleration
  • u denotes initial velocity
  • t denotes time

→ a = (17 - 34)/6 m/s²

→ a = -17/6 m/s²

<h3>→ Acceleration = -2.83 m/s²</h3>

(Minus sign implies that the velocity is decreasing.)

Inessa [10]

Answer:

W=2219pounds

Explanation:

If the weight  is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}

we solve the equation:

W=2219pounds

Describe the relationship between the Law of Conservation of Matter and balancing equations.
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The mass of the products and reactants are the same on both sides of the equation.

The number of atoms of products and reactants are equal and hence it proves the law of conservation of mass.

Superman stops a "speeding locomotive" of mass 8.0x103 kg in 4.0 seconds. If the train was originally moving at 40.m/s,
madreJ [45]

Hello!

<em>a) What is the change in momentum</em>?

The change of the momentum is the velocity, because the velocity is reduced to zero.

We can calculate the aceleration, applicating the formula:

\boxed{a=\frac{V-Vi}{t} }

Like you see, the final velocity will be zero, so:

a = \dfrac{0m/s-40m/s}{4s}

a = \dfrac{-40m/s}{4s}

a = -10\ m/s^{2}

Like you see, the aceleration applicate by superman is of <u>-10 m/s^2.</u>

If the aceleration is negattive, means the velocity will decrease.

<em>b.) What is the magnitud of the force wich superman exerts on the train?</em>

For calculate the force applicate for superman, lets applicate the second law of Newton:

\boxed{F=ma}

Lets replace and resolve it:

F = 8x10^3 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = 8000 kg * (-10 m/s^2)

F = -80 000 N

The force applicated is of <u>-80000 Newtons.</u>

When the force is negative means the force applicated in the another direction of the object what is traveling.
