Hello!

A car traveling at 10 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 20 seconds. What is it's acceleration ?

We have the following data:

Vi (initial velocity) = 10 m/s (starts)

Vf (final velocity) = 0 m/s (stop)

t (time) = 20 s

a (acceleration) = ? (in m/s²)

We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let us see:

$V_f = V_i + a*t$

$0 = 10 + a*20$

$- 10 = 20\:a$

$20\:a = - 10$

$a = \dfrac{-1\diagup\!\!\!\!0}{2\diagup\!\!\!\!0}$

$\boxed{\boxed{a = - 0.5\:m/s^2}}\Longrightarrow(the\:car\:slows\:down)\:\:\:\:\:\:\bf\green{\checkmark}$

Answer:

The acceleration is -0.5 m/s² (decelerate)

Answer:

-0.5 m/s

Explanation:

given:

u (initial velocity) = 10 m/s

v (Final velocity) = 0 m/s (because it is given that it comes to a complete stop)

t (time taken) = 20 s

therefore,

acceleration = v - u / t

a = 0 - 10 / 20

a = -10 / 20

a = -1/2

a = -0.5

There is a acceleration of -0.5 m/s

Based on the following equation, answer the questions below. ρ = (2γϕ + ψ)/rg where ρ [=] moles per cubic foot [mol/ft3] γ [=] j

AlekseyPX

1) Fundamental units of $\Psi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

2) Fundamental units of $\Phi$ are $[\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

Explanation:

The equation for the variable $\rho$ is

$\rho =\frac{2\gamma \Phi+\Psi}{rg}$

where we have:

$\rho$ measured in $[\frac{mol}{ft^3}]$

$\gamma$ measured in $[\frac{J}{kg}]$

$r$ measured in $[in]$

$g$ measured in $[\frac{m}{s^2}]$

We can re-write the equation as

$\rho rg = 2\gamma \Phi + \Psi$

And we notice that the units of the term on the left must be equal to the units of the term on the right.

This means that:

1) First of all, $\Psi$ must have the same units of $\rho r g$ . So,

$[\rho r g]=[\frac{mol}{ft^3}][in][\frac{m}{s^2}]$

However, both ft (feet) and in (inches) are not fundamental dimensions: this means that they can be expressed as meters. Therefore, the fundamental units of $\Psi$ are

$[\Psi]=[\frac{mol}{m^3}][m][\frac{m}{s^2}]=[\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

The term $2\gamma \Phi$ must have the same units of $\Psi$ in order to be added to it. Therefore,

$[\gamma \Phi] = [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

We also know that the units of $\gamma$ are $[\frac{J}{kg}]$ , therefore

$[\frac{J}{kg}][\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m\cdot s^2}]$

And so, the fundamental units of $\Phi$ are

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{J\cdot m\cdot s^2}]$

However, the Joules can be written as

$[J]=[kg][\frac{m^2}{s^2}]$

Therefore

$[\Phi]= [\frac{mol\cdot kg}{(kg \frac{m^2}{s^2})\cdot m\cdot s^2}]=[\Phi]= [\frac{mol}{m^3}]$

What is a positive effect of increased carbon dioxide within the carbon cycle?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The positive impact in the cycle is that CO2 will make plants to use water more efficiently and also thereby make them to become drought resistant and thereby grow faster.

Explanation:

Carbon cycle is the process by which carbon dioxide travels from the atmosphere to the earth and returns back to the atmosphere.

The negative impact of carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle is that it will cause green house effect. However, when it comes to the positive impact in the cycle, CO2 will make plants to use water more efficiently and also thereby make them to become drought resistant and thereby grow faster.
