we assume the acceleration is constant. we choose the initial and final points 1.40s apart, bracketing the slowing-down process. then we have a straightforward problem about a particle under constant acceleration. the initial velocity is v xi ​ =632mi/h=632mi/h( 1mi 1609m ​ )( 3600s 1h ​ )=282m/s (a) taking v xf ​ =v xi ​ +a x ​ t with v xf ​ =0 a x ​ = t v xf ​ −v xf ​ ​ = 1.40s 0−282m/s ​ =−202m/s 2 this has a magnitude of approximately 20g (b) similarly x f ​ −x i ​ = 2 1 ​ (v xi ​ +v xf ​ )t= 2 1 ​ (282m/s+0)(1.40s)=198m

What happens when pressure is applied to a solid.​
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

When the pressure surrounding a substance increases, the freezing point and other special points also go up. It is easier to keep things solid when they are under greater pressure. Generally, solids are more dense than liquids because their molecules are closer together.

Consider a coccus and a rod of equal volume. Which is more likely to survive in a dry environment? Explain your answer Which wou
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Coccus  is suitable for dry environment and a rod is better adapted for moist environment.

Explanation:

The probability of Coccus would be  better suitable for a environment which is dry. A sphere posses less surface area for the volume, as such,  moisture which is  lost through osmosis  is less in dry environment conditions.

During a moist environment, the ratio of the surface area to volume of a rod shaped bacterium is high, which allow higher efficiency to transfer water and solutes into and outside of the cell, and to make possible for a cell which is in rod shaped, have a metabolic rate higher.

(a) What is the current involved when a truck battery sets in motion 720 C of charge in 4.00 s while starting an engine? (b) How
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

(a) Current flowing through truck battery is 180 A

(b) Time taken in calculator is 333.33 s

Explanation:

(a) Given:

The charge on the truck battery,q = 720 C

Time, t = 4.00 s

Consider I be the current flowing through truck battery.

The relation between current, charge and time is:

I = q/t

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

I=\frac{720}{4}

I = 180 A

(b) Given:

The charge on the calculator,q = 7.00 C

The current flowing through calculator, I = 0.3 mA = 0.3 x 10⁻³ A

Consider t be the time.

The relation between current, charge and time is:

t = q/I

Substitute the suitable values in the above equation.

t=\frac{1}{0.3\times10^{-3} }

I = 333.33 s

What is an example of a concentric contraction
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

an example is a bicep curl

Explanation:

A concentric contraction is a type of muscle activation that causes tension on your muscle as it shortens. As your muscle shortens, it generates enough force to move an object.
