A car is travelling to the right with a speed of 40 m/s when the driver slams on the brakes. The car skids for 4 s with constant

acceleration before it comes to a stop. What was the rate of the car's acceleration as it skidded to a stop?

Answer:

10m/s^2

Explanation:

Given data

velocity= 40m/s

time= 4 seconds

Acceleration a =????

We know that

a= velocity/time

substitute

a=40/4

a= 10m/s^2

Hence the acceleration will be 10m/s^2

Answer:

(a) 1.21 m/s² (b) 1.75 m/s²

Explanation:

The initial speed of the car, u = 17.8 m/s

Case 1.

Final speed of the car, v = 23.5 m/s

Time, t = 4.68-s

Acceleration = rate of change of velocity

a=\dfrac{23.5 -17.8 }{4.68}\\\\a=1.21\ m/s^2

Case 2.

Final speed of the car, v = 15.3 m/s

a=\dfrac{23.5 -15.3}{4.68}\\\\a=1.75\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

Exposure to the Sun's harmful infrared radiation should be kept to a minimum.
zysi [14]

Of course! If it's harmful, then your exposure to it should be kept
to a minimum.  That's a no-brainer.  But the sun's infrared radiation
is generally less harmful than its ultraviolet radiation is.

A plane is landing at an airport. The plane has a massive amount of kinetic energy due to it's motion. When the plane lands, it
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.
