What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 20 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 3 seconds

Physics

sdas [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity

a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s

which should probably be converted to standard units.

10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²

which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.

Two cars come to a stop from the same initial speed, one braking gently and the other braking hard. Which car converts more kine
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

Both cars convert more kinetic energy to thermal energy.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two cars come to a stop from the same initial speed, one braking gently and the other braking hard.

We know that,

The conservation of energy :  

The energy of the system is always constant.

The energy can be change one form to another form.

So, we can say that when both cars come to a stop from the same speed, one braking softly and the other braking strongly then both cars convert more kinetic energy to thermal energy.

Hence, Both cars convert more kinetic energy to thermal energy.
