Answer: Acceleration = 5m/s^2; Distance traveled = 320 m

Explanation:

Velocity of car = 40m/s

Time taken = 8 seconds

Acceleration = ?

Distance traveled = ?

A) Since acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time

i.e acceleration = velocity / time

acceleration = 40m/s / 8 seconds

Acceleration = 5m/s^2

B) To get how far the car traveled before stopping, obtain the distance from the formula:

velocity = distance traveled / time

40m/s = distance / 8 seconds

Distance = 40m/s x 8 seconds

Distance = 320 m

Thus, the car’s acceleration is 5m/s^2 while it traveled 320 metres before stopping.

Richard is driving home to visit his parents. 135{\rm mi} of the trip are on the interstate highway where the speed limit is 65{
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

time spent = 0.2276

Explanation:

given data

distance = 135 mi

usual speed = 65 mph

today speed = 73 mph

solution

we get here time that is express as

time = \frac{distance}{speed}    ...................1

usual time = \frac{135}{65}  = 2.0769 h

today time = \frac{135}{73} = 1.8493 h

so we get here time spent as

time spent = 2.0769 h - 1.8493 h

time spent = 0.2276

The cable holding a 2125 kg elevator has a maximum strength of 21,750 N. What is the maximum upward acceleration the cable can g
vivado [14]

Answer:

10.23m/s^2

Explanation:

GIven data

mass of elevator = 2125 kg

Force= 21,750 N

Required

The maximum acceleration upward

F= ma

a= F/m

a=21,750/2125

a= 10.23m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2

Co (5. 00 g) and co2 (5. 00 g) were placed in a 750. 0 ml container at 50. 0 °c. The partial pressure of co in the container was
konstantin123 [22]
Use PV = nRT and solve for P.
n = grams/molar mass = 5.00/molar mass CO2
Ignore the SO2.

But I think the answer it 6.74 atm

But I’m not saying but is but I’m just thinking this is the answer.

Goodluck!
