Answer:

A change in pressure

Explanation:

This is because, the deeper you dive, the height of water above you creates a pressure on you. So, as the depth increases, the height of water increases, thus its weight on you, thus its pressure on you also.

Also, as you gain altitude as you climb a mountain, the height of air above you decreases. This thereby decreases the weight of air above you thus, decreasing the pressure of air on you.

So, in both cases, there is a change in pressure as height or depth changes. An increase in height results in decreased pressure and an increases in depth results in increased pressure.

4. A car accelerates, from rest, at 2.4 m/s?. How fast is the car traveling

pantera1 [17]

Answer:

19.2m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that 2.4m/s^2 was the acceleration and not a typo, we can use the equation v=at, where v=velocity, a=acceleration, and t=time,

plug in known varibles,

v=2.4*8

v=19.2m/s

Answer:

27.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that at a race car driving event, a staff member notices that the skid marks left by the race car are 9.06 m long. The very experienced staff member knows that the deceleration of a car when skidding is -40.52 m/s2.

Using third equation of motion,

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Since the car is decelerating, the final velocity V = 0

Substitute all the parameter into the equation above,

0 = U^2 - 2 * 40.52 * 9.06

U^2 = 734.22

U = $\sqrt{734.22}$
