Answer:

Fossil-fueled cars are still outnumbering the alternative and replacement-fueled cars because they are generally cost-effective and are efficient.

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels</em> are non-renewable energy that cannot be replenished. Although many people know how harmful using them can be to the environment, still, people continue to buy cars that are powered by it. This is because, <em>using fossil-fueled cars can help you save money</em> compared to using<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em><em> Its engines are also more powerful,</em> which means they can arrive at their destination in just a few minutes. <u>This makes it efficient.</u> The cost of maintaining a fossil-fueled car is less expensive compared to<em> replacement-fueled cars.</em> People are naturally keen when it comes to budgeting, thus, many people still buy cars powered by fossil fuels.

A car initially traveling at 17.1 mph comes to rest in 9.7s what was its acceleration in this time?
ra1l [238]

Answer:

a=-.78m/s^2

Explanation:

Δv=at

  • Δv is the difference in velocity before and after a given time.
  • a is the acceleration of the object during this time.
  • t is time

(v_f-v_i)=at is another way to write this equation.

  • The Δ symbol represents "the difference between the initial and final values of a magnitude or vector", so Δv=(v_f-v_i)

v_f-v_i=at\\\frac{at}{t}=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

  • I rearranged this equation to solve for a, but this is a step that you don't need to take, it's just good to get in the habit of doing this.
  • Plug in the given values. Note that our final velocity is 0, because the car travels until at <em>rest</em>.

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}\\a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}

  • Our initial velocity is in mph, something not in standard units, so if not changed, you will get an incorrect answer. What you need to do is cancel out the units your prior value had using division and multiplication, and at the same time multiply and divide the correct numbers and units into your equation. Or look up a converter.

a=\frac{(0)-[(17.1\frac{miles}{hour} )(\frac{hour}{3600s})(\frac{1609.34m}{mile})]}{9.7s}\\a=\frac{0m/s-7.6m/s}{9.7s} \\a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}

  • if you converted correctly, your answer for v_f will be ≅ 7.6m/s.
  • Now divide. Notice that the units for acceleration are m/s^2 or <em>meters per second, per second</em>.

a=\frac{-7.6m/s}{9.7s}\\a=-.78m/s^2

  • Our final answer is <em>negative </em>because the car is <em>slowing down</em>. Do not square this answer as the square symbol only applies to the units, not the magnitude.

Answer:

The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.
