While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile's acceleration? (Reme

mber that a negative value indicates a slowing down or deceleration.) don't forget to write the formula(1pt.) and the unit (1pt.)

Answer:

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 24 m/s

Final velocity = 15 m/s

Time = 12 seconds

To find the acceleration of the automobile;

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

Acceleration (a) = \frac {final \; velocity  -  initial \; velocity}{time}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Acceleration = \frac{15 - 24}{12}

Acceleration = \frac{-9}{12}

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the automobile is decelerating because its final velocity is lesser than its initial velocity, leading to a negative value.

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply. kg • m kg • N • s N • m
Vlada [557]

We know that impulse is simply the product of Force and time:

Impulse = Force * time

 

Since Force has a unit of Newton or kg m/s^2 and time is in seconds, therefore impulse can have units as:

N s

or

You throw a ball with a speed of 25.0 m/s at an angle of 40.0â—¦ above the horizontal directly toward a wall. The wall is 22.0 m
kirza4 [7]
The horizontal speed is going to be the cosine of the given speed, therefore, the horizontal speed is 19.15 m/s. To find the time, divide the 22 m distance by the velocity. This results in 1.131 seconds, which is in between C and D.
