A vehicle reaches a speed of 7.5 m/s over 15 seconds. What is its acceleration if it

Physics

acceleration = \frac{velocity}{time}  = \frac{7.5}{15}  = 0.5ms^-^2

So the answer is option b.

ankoles [38]

Answer:

d=510.2m

t=10.2s

Explanation:

The formulas for accelerated motion are:

v=v_0+at\\x=x_0+v_0t+\frac{at^2}{2}

From them we can get v^2=v_0^2+2ad.

We have:

v-v_0=at\\t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}

And substitute:

x=x_0+v_0(\frac{v-v_0}{a})+\frac{a}{2}(\frac{v-v_0}{a})^2\\x-x_0=\frac{v_0(v-v_0)}{a}+\frac{(v-v_0)^2}{2a}

We multiply both sides by 2a, and continue:

2a(x-x_0)=2v_0(v-v_0)+(v-v_0)^2=2v_0v-2v_0^2+v^2+v_0^2-2vv_0=v^2-v_0^2

Being d the displacement x-x_0, we have v^2=v_0^2+2ad

For our exercise, we will write this as:

d=\frac{v^2-v_0^2}{2a}

And taking upwards direction positive and imposing final velocity 0m/s (for maximum height), we have:

d=\frac{-v_0^2}{2a}=\frac{-(100m/s)^2}{2(-9,8m/s^2)}=510.2m

For the time we use:

t=\frac{v-v_0}{a}=\frac{-v_0}{a}=\frac{-(100m/s)}{(-9.8m/s^2)}=10.2s

How can two substances be made up of the same two elements but have very different properties?
asambeis [7]
So, basically, it might have different quantities, such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO), which are both made up of Carbon and Oxygen, but Carbon Monoxide has less oxygen. And they both have different properties, like CO is poisonous.

a coin is dropped from the top of a tall building. determine the coin's (a) velocity and (b) displacement after 1.5 sec.
Lilit [14]
1) v = gt = 10*1.5 = 15 m/s
2) r = gt^2 /2 = 10*(1.5)^2 / 2 = 11.25 meters
