You are driving on the highway at a speed of 40 m/s (which is over the speed limit) when you notice a cop in front of you. To av

oid a ticket, you press on the brake and slow to a speed of 30 m/s over the course of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car? WORK=BRAINLIEST
What is your car's initial velocity?

What is your car's final velocity?

How long does it take the car to slow down?

Write the equation you will use to solve this problem.

What is the acceleration of your vehicle?
+ 2.0 m/s^2
- 2.0 m/s^2
+ 8.0 m/s^2
- 6.0 m/s^2

Explanation:

U = 40m/s

V = 30m/s

T = 5 sec

A = ?

a = \frac{u - v}{t}

a =  \frac{40 - 30}{5}

a =  \frac{10}{5}

a = 2

since it's decreasing in speed, The acceleration will be " - 2.0ms^-2 " or " - 2.0m/s^2 "

Btw don't mind me answering twice. I want the free points and maybe another brainliest? lol.

Si un ciclista se mueve a una velocidad de 5 m/s y acelera 1 m/s2, a los 10 segundos su velocidad será
MrRa [10]

Answer:

A los 10 segundos su velocidad será 15 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

La aceleración de un objeto es una magnitud que indica cómo cambia la velocidad del objeto en una unidad de tiempo.

En otras palabras, la aceleración relaciona los cambios de la velocidad con el tiempo en el que se producen, es decir que mide cómo de rápidos son los cambios de velocidad:

  • Una aceleración grande significa que la velocidad cambia rápidamente.
  • Una aceleración pequeña significa que la velocidad cambia lentamente.
  • Una aceleración cero significa que la velocidad no cambia.

La aceleración "a" puede ser calculada mediante la expresión:

a=\frac{vfinal - vinicial}{tiempo}

En este caso:

  • a= 1 \frac{m}{s^{2} }
  • vfinal= ?
  • vinicial= 5 \frac{m}{s}
  • tiempo= 10 s

Reemplazando:

1\frac{m}{s^{2} }=\frac{vfinal - 5\frac{m}{s} }{10 s}

Resolviendo se obtiene:

1 \frac{m}{s^{2} } *10 s= vfinal - 5 \frac{m}{s}

10 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal - 5 \frac{m}{s}

10 \frac{m}{s} + 5 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal

15 \frac{m}{s} = vfinal

What is dark energy?
olga2289 [7]

Explanation:

Dark Energy. Dark Energy is a hypothetical form of energy that exerts a negative, repulsive pressure, behaving like the opposite of gravity. It has been hypothesised to account for the observational properties of distant type Ia supernovae, which show the universe going through an accelerated period of expansion

Q011) The Doppler effect a. occurs when the frequency of sound waves received is lower if the wave source is moving toward you t
inn [45]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.

It occurs for both light and sound.  

So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.

Answer True or Flase1-Electric potential due to a uniform E field doesn’t change with location.2-The equipotential surfaces asso
TEA [102]

Answer:

1. False

2. True

3. True

Explanation:

1- False —> The relation between electric potential and electric field is given such that

-\int\limits^a_b \vec{E}d\vec{l} = V_{ab}

Therefore, for a uniform E field, electric potential is linearly proportional to the distance.

2- True —> The electric field lines always cross the equipotential lines perpendicularly.

3- True —> In order to be a potential difference, one source of electric field is enough. The electric potential will decrease radially according to the following formula:

V = \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{q}{r^2}

There is no test charge in the formula, only the source charge. Even when there is no test charge, the potential difference between points in space can exist.
