Answer:

a=3.53 m/s^2

Explanation:

Vo=0 m/s (because he is not moving at the start)

V1=15 m/s

t= 4.25 s

a = (V1-Vo) / t = 15/4.25 = 3.53 m/s^2

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?

Akimi4 [234]

<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>

Considering the various theories, the energy used in forming organic molecules in the primitive atmosphere could have come from

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

<h2>e. sound. </h2>

Explanation:

Such type of atmosphere in which oxygen was not present or was present in little amount is known as the primitive atmosphere and such type of atmosphere was present in the initial stage of the earth formation.
During this period, water vapor, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide gases were present.
These gases interact with the help of energy that comes from many sources such as lightning, ultraviolet radiation, electric spark and some other.
When these inorganic molecules react in the then the formation of organic compounds takes place that becomes the basis of the organization of the life on the earth and called an organic evolution of life.

At the instant the traffic light turns green, an automobile starts with a constant acceleration a of 2.5 m/s2. At the same insta

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

6.96 s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

u = initial speed of the automobile = 0 m/s

a = constant acceleration of the automobile = $2.5\ m/s^2$
v = constant speed of the truck = 8.7 m/s

<u>Assume:</u>

t = time instant at which the automobile overtakes the truck.

At the moment the automobile and the truck both meat each other the distance travel by both vehicles must be the same.

$\therefore \textrm{Distance traveled by the automobile }=\textrm{Distance traveled by the truck}\\\Rightarrow ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2=vt\\\Rightarrow (0)t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2.5\times t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2=8.7t\\\Rightarrow 1.25t^2-8.7t=0\\\Rightarrow t(1.25t-8.7)=0\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = \dfrac{8.7}{1.25}\\\Rightarrow t = 0\,\,\,or\,\,\, t = 6.96\\$

Since t = 0 s is the initial condition. So, they both meet again at t = 6.96 s such that the automobile overtakes the truck.

Identify the independent, dependent, and constant variables for different experiments.

diamong [38]

ANSWER:

IV, Type of dish detergent. DV, height of foam. CV, type of container, amount of water in container, temperature of water, time the container is agitated.

Explanation:

Independent variable(IV)- what you change during the experiment.

dependent variable(DV)- what you're measuring during an experiment. The dependent variable is DEPENDENT because it's results DEPEND on the independent variable at play.

Constant variables(CV)- things that do not change in order to isolate the tested variables as much as possible.
