<span>To find the acceleration we are given two facts to begin. The impact at 16 km/h and the dent of 6.4 cm, or 0.064 meters. In solving the problem uniform acceleration is assumed, which would mean the avg speed during the impact was 8 km/hr by taking 16/2. We know distance = rate*time (d=r*t) . So t = d / r, so 0.64/8 = 0.008hr for t. Now we can solve for acceleration by taking a = 16 / 0.008 = 2000 km/hr.</span>

Ivan

Answer:

The statement is true: velocity and acceleration have opposite directions in the interval of braking.

Explanation:

Let's say we have a velocity v>0.

The acceleration a is the rate of change of the velocity v. This means that if v is <em>increasing during</em> time, then a must be positive. But if v is <em>decreasing over</em> time, then a will be negative (even though the velocity is positive).

Mathematically:

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

v decreases ⇒\frac{dv}{dt}

⇒a.

Example:

v(t)=e^{-t}>0 \\\\\frac{dv}{dt}=-te^{-t}

All charged objects exert a force that can cause other charges to move. What is the force that
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

exerts force

Explanation:

The accumulation of excess electric charge on an object is called static electricity. ... An electric field surrounds every electric charge and exerts the force that causes other electric charges to attract or repel. Electric fields are represented by arrows showing the electric field would make a positive charge move.

Define light?it's types​
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation within the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that can be perceived by the human eye. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nm, or 4.00 × 10⁻⁷ to 7.00 × 10⁻⁷ m, between the infrared and the ultraviolet.

Explanation:

This is one type of light.

When a rattlesnake strikes, its head accelerates from rest to a speed of 32 m/s in 0.63 seconds. Assume for simplicity that the
irina [24]

Answer:

Power, P = 162.53 Watts          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 200 g = 0.2 kg

Initial speed of the snake, u = 0

Final speed of the snake, v = 32 m/s

Time, t = 0.63 s

Power of an object is given by :

P=\dfrac{W}{t}

P=\dfrac{\Delta K}{t}

P=\dfrac{mv^2}{2t}

P=\dfrac{0.2\times (32)^2}{2\times 0.63}

P = 162.53 Watts

So, the power of the rattlesnake is 162.53 Watts. Hence, this is the required solution.
