Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Starting from one oasis, a camel walks 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then walks 30 km toward the north to a second
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km

Explanation:

let d is the distance between oasis1 and oasis 2

from figure

OC  = 25cos 30

OE = 25sin30

OE = CD

Therefore BC =  30-25sin30

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is calculated by using phytogoras theorem

in\Delta BCO

OB^2 = BC^2 + OC^2

PUTTING ALL VALUE IN ABOVE EQUATION

d^2 = 930-25sin30)^2 + (25cos30)^2

d^2 = 775

d = 27.83 Km

distance between both oasis ( 1 and 2) is  27.83 Km

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds

Explanation:

Directly from the information given:

Initial speed = 20 m/s

Final speed = 35 m/s

Time to speed up = 5 seconds
