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.

Of elements N, O, Cl, Na, and Which two would likely have similar chemical properties and why
velikii [3]
<span>Oxygen and Nitrogen would be the most similar of the elements listed, because they are the closest in the periodic table. This isn't a very good reason for anything, but the two do have some similar properties. They are both non-metals, they are both highly electronegative, they are both diatmoic gasses in their natural states, they have a similar number of valence electrons, they are both generally oxidizing agents. Oxygen and Chlorine are also quite similar, but not quite as similar as Oxygen and Nitrogen.</span>

Brandon pushes an object on a ramp as shown in the diagram.
stiks02 [169]

The force which has the greatest effect on causing this object to slow while it remains in contact with the ramp is: B. a frictional force.

<h3>What is a force?</h3>

A force can be defined as a push or pull of an object or physical body, which typically results in a change of motion (acceleration), especially due to the interaction of the object with another.

<h3>The types of force.</h3>

In Science, there are different types of force and these include the following:

  • Gravitational force
  • Tension force.
  • Electrical force
  • Normal Force.
  • Magnetic force
  • Air resistance force
  • Applied force
  • Frictional force.

<h3>What is a frictional force?</h3>

Friction force can be defined as a type of force that resists and slows the relative motion of two physical objects when there surfaces come in contact. This ultimately implies that, a frictional force prevents two surfaces from easily sliding over or slipping across one another.

In this context, we can infer and logically deduce that the force which has the greatest effect on causing this object to slow while it remains in contact with the ramp is a frictional force.

A feather is dropped onto the surface of the moon. How far will the feather have fallen if it reaches the surface in 9.00 second
blagie [28]

   Distance of fall = (1/2) · (acceleration of gravity) · (time)²

                         =  (1/2)    ·      (1.63 m/s²)   ·   (9 sec)²

                         =          (0.815 m/s²)          ·    (81 sec²)

                         =                    66 meters  .

On Earth ... IF there were no air ... the feather would fall
397 meters in the same amount of time !
