Answer:

a= 0.256 ft/s^2

Explanation:

Solution:

Since the car has started from rest the initial velocity will be zero

i.e. Vi=0

It gets a speed of 1.6 fts^2,

i.e. Vf= 1.6 fts^2

The distance is 5 yards

i.e d= 5 yards

According to the equation of motion

2as= VF^2- Vi^2

Thus a= (VF^2- Vi^2)/2s

a= (1.6^2 - 0)/ 2*5

a= 0.256 ft/s^2

Answer:

a= 17.69 m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to 23 m/s

u= 0m/s

v= 23m/s

distance= 30m

Step two:

We know that

acceleration= velocity/time

also,

velocity= distance/time

23= 30/t

t= 30/23

t= 1.30 seconds

hence

acceleration= 23/1.30

accelaration= 17.69 m/s^2

Kiley went 5.7 km/h north and then went 5.8 km/h west. From start to finish, she went 8.1 km/h northwest. Which best describes h

meriva

Answer:

8.1km/h Northwest

Explanation:

The 8.1km/h Northwest gives the best description of her distance from start to finish. This distance can be represented in a right angle triangle , this is the hypotenuse which is the longest side of the triangle. If we add 5.7 and 5.8 this gives 11.5km/h compared to 8.1km/h which is a smaller distance and the best.

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :

$Q=mC_s \Delta T$

where $C_s$ is the specific heat capacity of the material.

In this problem, we have:

m = 2 kg = 2000 g is the mass of the unknown material

$Q = 450 J$ is the amount of energy supplied to the block

$\Delta T = 1^{\circ}C$ is the change in temperature of the material

Solving the equation for $C_s$ , we can find the specific heat capacity of the unknown sample:

$C_s = \frac{Q}{m \Delta T}=\frac{450}{(2000)(1)}=0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

And by comparing with tabular values, we can find that this value is approximately the specific heat capacity of tin.

Why are eight electrons (four pairs) surrounding each non-hydrogen atom the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecule

rodikova [14]

Eight electrons surrounding each non-hydrogen atom is the optimal electronic arrangement for covalent molecules because it is needed to achieve an octet structure and is necessary to fill both the s and p subshells of electrons.

<h3>What is Covalent bonding?</h3>

This is the type of bonding which involves the sharing of electrons between atoms of an element.

This is done to achieve an octet configuration thereby making them stable and less reactive thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

An green hoop with mass mh = 2.8 kg and radius rh = 0.17 m hangs from a string that goes over a blue solid disk pulley with mass

vladimir2022 [97]

The mass of the hoop is the only force which is computed by:F net = 2.8kg*9.81m/s^2 = 27.468 N
the slow masses that must be quicker are the pulley, ring, and the rolling sphere.
The mass correspondent of M the pulley is computed by torque τ = F*R = I*α = I*a/R F = M*a = I*a/R^2 --> M = I/R^2 = 21/2*m*R^2/R^2 = 1/2*m
The mass equal of the rolling sphere is computed by: the sphere revolves around the contact point with the table. So using the proposition of parallel axes, the moment of inertia of the sphere is I = 2/5*mR^2 for spin about the midpoint of mass + mR^2 for the distance of the axis of rotation from the center of mass of the sphere. I = 7/5*mR^2 M = 7/5*m
the acceleration is then a = F/m = 27.468/(2.8 + 1/2*2 + 7/5*4) = 27.468/9.4 = 2.922 m/s^2
