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

Physics
1 answer:
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.

C!

V= displacement/time
Speed= distance/time

Displacement is the space between two points, usually from the first to last point, but doesn't have to be. (Basically, it's the distance between your starting and ending point). With displacement, direction matters, but with speed, direction doesn't.

Speed, on the other hand, is the entire traveled distance as a whole. Unlike displacement, direction doesn't matter.

I hope this helped!

A ball with a mass of 0.25 kg hits a gym ceiling with a force of 78.0 n. what happens next?
QveST [7]
<span>a. The ball accelerates downward with a force of 80.5 N. This is a rather badly worded question since the answer depends upon whether or not the impact with the gym ceiling was elastic or non-elastic. With an elastic collision, the ball will accelerate downward with it's original force plus the acceleration due to gravity. With a non-elastic collision (the energy in the ball being used to damage the ceiling of the gym), then the initial energy the ball has would be expended while causing damage to the gym ceiling and then the ball would accelerate downward solely due to the force of gravity. In either case, we need to take into consideration the force of gravity. So multiply the mass of the ball by the gravitational acceleration, giving F = 0.25 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2.45 kg*m/s^2 = 2.45 N Since the initial force is 78.0 newtons, let's add them 78.0 N + 2.45 N = 80.45 N and after rounding to 3 figures, gives 80.5 N So we have a possible answer of 2.45N or 80.5N depending upon if the collision is elastic or not. And unfortunately, both possible answers are available. Since no mention of the ceiling being damaged is made in the question, and to be honest a 100% non-elastic collision is highly unlikely, I will assume the collision is elastic, so the answer is "a".</span>

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Option (B)

Explanation:

Light is a form of electro-magnetic waves. This light wave has distinct range of wavelength that allows it to form different colors of light. This means that the color of the light produces depending on the amount of wavelength it comprises.

The visible light ranges from Violet to Red, and this is observed as different colors when each of these electromagnetic waves strikes our eyes at a certain angle. The violet light has the shortest wavelength of about 410 nm, where the red light has the highest wavelength of about 650 nm.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

Which of the following is not a step toward planning your goals ?​
Simora [160]

Answer:

Disregard a goal if you don't achieve it

Explanation:

This is because in achieving your targets/goals/dreams rewarding yourself for every small accomplishment is very important. It’ll help to keep you motivated and keep your head in the game. Similarly setting short and long-term objectives also plays a vital role. Setting a date is also important because it helps you to put your plan into action. However, disregarding a goal isn’t an option
