Explanation:
The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s−2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.
Answer:
4.17 m/s²
Explanation:
We are told the reaction time is 0.2 s. Now, during this reaction time the car is going to travel an additional distance of
: x = u × t = 40 × 0.2 = 8 m
where u is the initial velocity of the car which is 40.0 m/s.
We are told that he had 200 m to stop before applying brakes. Thus, after applying brakes, he now has a distance to cover of; s = 200 - 8 = 192 m
Since vehicle is coming to rest acceleration would be negative, thus using Newton's equation of motion, we have;
v
² = u² - 2as
v = 0 m/s since it's coming to rest
u = 40 m/s
s = 192 m
Thus;
0² = 40² - 2(a)(192)
0² = 1600 - 384a
a = 1600/384
a = 4.17 m/s²
Because they are caused by your exercise
The first choice on the list is the correct one.
Answer:
150 million kilometres
Explanation:
The astronomical unit (symbol: au, or AU or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun and equal to 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) or 8.3 light minutes.
