Explanation:

Correct option is

1m/s

in the given question we have

u=36 km/hr =36×

m/s=10m/s

v= 72 km/hr=72×

m/s=20m/s

t=10 s

a=?

we know the formula

v= u +at

20 = 10+ a 10

20-10 =10 a

10 = 10 a

a = 1 m/s

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Mountains, tops of buildings, and high-flying aircraft are all part of Earth's atmosphere, no matter how high they are. On the other hand, space doesn't belong to our atmosphere, it is outside of it. Having this in mind, the best location to place a telescope used to observe x-rays from stars is in space.

Question 27 a motorboat takes 3 hours to travel 144km going upstream. the return trip takes 2 hours going downstream. what is th

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

In this item, we let x be the rate of the boat in still water and y be the rate of the current.

Upstream. When the boat is going upstream, the speed in still water is deducted by the speed of the current because the boat goes against the water. The distance covered is calculated by multiplying the number of hours and the speed.
(x - y)(3) = 144

Downstream. The speed of the boat going downstream is equal to x + y because the boat goes with the current.
(x + y)(2) = 144

The system of linear equations we can use to solve for x is,
3x - 3y = 144
2x + 2y = 144

We use either elimination or substitution.

We solve for the y of the first equation in terms of x,
y = -(144 - 3x)/3

Substitute this to the second equation,
2x + 2(-1)(144 - 3x)/3 = 144
The value of x from the equation is 60

Answer:

Explanation:

A capacitor is an electronic device that can be used for storing of charges. A parallel plate capacitor consists of two plates of equal area separated by a dielectric constant. The energy stored in the capacitor is in the form of potential energy which comes into play during the discharging process of the capacitor.

The energy stored depends majorly on the voltage, area of the plates, distance between the plates and the nature of the dielectric constant of the material between the plates. But it does not depend on the charges on the plates.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

$\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by $\alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}$

Angular velocity is related to the period by $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Putting all together:

$\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})$

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

$\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s$

$T_i=0.0786s$

$T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s$

So for our values we have:

$\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.
