A racecar driver steps on the gas, and his racecar travels 20 meters in 2 seconds starting from rest. The acceleration of the ra
givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2

The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes.
Lerok [7]
<span>The moon is smaller and more dense than the Earth, and has less extreme temperature changes. The statement presented is True. In terms of temperature, since there is no atmosphere on the moon, then it has less extreme temperature changes. The moon can reach 253 Fahrenheit in the day and -387 Fahrenheit at night.</span>

Onur drops a basketball from a height of 10m on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity has magnitude of 3.7 m/s^2. We want
denpristay [2]

Answer:

2.32 s

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion,

s = ut+g't²/2............................ Equation 1

Where s = distance, u = initial velocity, g' = acceleration due to gravity of  the moon, t = time.

Note: Since Onur drops the basket ball from a height, u = 0 m/s

Then,

s = g't²/2

make t the subject of the equation,

t = √(2s/g')...................... Equation 2

Given: s = 10 m, g' = 3.7 m/s²

Substitute this value into equation 2

t = √(2×10/3.7)

t = √(20/3.7)

t = √(5.405)

t = 2.32 s.

kati45 [8]
<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
