Answer:

9m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial velocity  = 30m/s

Final velocity  = 0m/s

Distance traveled  = 50m

Unknown:

Deceleration  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the proper motion equation;

          V²   = U²   +  2aS

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

S is the distance

  Insert the parameters and solve;

          0²  = 30²  + 2(a)50

          -900  = 100a  

              a = -9m/s²

The negative value indicates deceleration.

The motorcycle decelerates at a rate of 9m/s²

Explain how the perfume atomizer works under Bernoulli's principle
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

In an atomizer, or perfume sprayer, you squeeze a rubber bulb to squirt air through a tube. Because of the Bernoulli principle, the air rushing through the tube has a lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere. ... The perfume is pushed out of the tube and sprays into the air as a fine mist.

How many significant figures are there in : (a) 0.000054 (b) 3.001 x 10^5 (c) 5.600
melomori [17]

Answer:

(a) 2 (b) 4 (c) 4

Explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

  • Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.
  • All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.
  • All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.
  • All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.
  • All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.
  • All zeroes used solely for spacing the decimal point are not significant. For example : 8000 has one significant figure.

As per question,

0.000054 has 2 significant figures.

3.001 x 10⁵ has 4 significant figures.

5.600 has 4 significant figures.

Leokris [45]

Answer:0.6kw

Explanation:

Power=force×velocity

Power=20×30=600w

In kw it's going to be 600/1000=0.6kw

What is the equation for momentum? Please help need answer ASAP.
Leona [35]
Momentum is mass in motion and only applies to objects in motion. It's a term that describes a relationship between the mass and velocity of an object, and we can see this when it is written in equation form, p = mv, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg and v is velocity in m/s.
