An object at rest has an instantaneous acceleration of zero is true.

Option B

Explanation:

As we all know, acceleration is given by a, and formula is F/m, where F is force applied and m is mass of an object. Considering Instaneneous acceleration, it means the force per unit mass body is feeling during infinitesimally small time. Let us say 1 microsecond, acceleration of the body during that span of time is known as instanteneous acceleration. Considering option A, it might not be always true, as consider a vehicle going in straight direction, speed is changing and not direction. Option D is not again true, as consider earth rotating around sun, direction is changing but not speed. However, as explained above, instantaneous acceleration is always constant, and hence, body at rest have instantaneous acceleration zero.

You replace a 100 W incandescent lightbulb with a 22 W CFL bulb. If you leave your lights on 24 hours a day, how much energy are

crimeas [40]

100 watts = 100 joules per second
22 watts = 22 joules per second
Saving = 78 joules per second

1 hour = 3,600 seconds
24 hours = 86,400 seconds

(78 joules/sec) x (86,400 sec) = 6,739,200 joules

How could you increase the force advantage of a lever?Select one:a. Make the effort length longer.b. Make the effort length shor

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The ideal mechanical advantage of a lever (IMA) is given by:

$IMA=\frac{Le}{Lr}$

Where:

Le = Effort of the arm

Lr = Resistance arm.

Therefore, we can increase the force adventage by increasing the effort arm or reducing the load arm

Answer:

a. Make the effort length longer.

A 1500-kg car accelerates from rest to 25 m/s in 7.0 s. what is the average power delivered by the engine? (1 hp = 746 w)

AVprozaik [17]

The solution for this is:
Work done = force * distance = m*a*d and power = energy/time
The vo=0 and vf = 25 m/s and t=7 sec. This gives...
3.6 m/s^2 as acceleration and d=87.5 meters and thus F=ma= 5400 N.
Energy = 5400*87.5 = 4.7E5 Joules (2 sig. figs) and Power = 67,500 Watts or 90 HP (2 sig. figs again).

Which is a diatomic molecule? A. Ar B. CO C. CO2 D. NaCl

snow_tiger [21]

Answer: B. CO

Explanation:

Diatomic molecules are those that are formed by two atoms of the same chemical element (homonuclear diatomic molecule) or different chemical element (heteronuclear diatomic molecule).

In this sense, oxygen is a homonuclear diatomic molecule because it is formed by two atoms of the same element ( $O_{2}$ ) and Carbon monoxide ( $CO$ ) is heteronuclear diatomic molecule.

Sodium Chloride $NaCl$ is not a diatomic molecule because is a product of ionization, but it can be diatomic in its gas phase with a polar covalent bond.
