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)

<u><em>We apply the data to the formula of the hourly function of the velocity, let us see:</em></u>

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}

<u><em>Answer:  </em></u>

<u><em>The acceleration is -0.5 m/s² (decelerate)  </em></u>

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

Answer :First part is what you learned so write what you learned then the other parts is The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.

Answer:

Decibel Meter

A decibel meter is a measuring instrument used to assess noise or sound levels by measuring sound pressure. Often referred to as a sound pressure level (SPL) meter, decibel (dB) meter, noise meter or noise dosimeter, a sound level meter uses a microphone to capture sound.

1 What conclusion can you draw about semicircular canals from their name ? A Their shape B Their size Their location in your bod
oee [108]

Answer:

A. Their shape

Explanation:

The name clearly shows that the shape of these canals are semi-circular. The semi-circular canals consist of three tubes filled with fluid and located in the inner ear. They help to maintain balance and transmit impulses through the movement of the fluids. The impulses sent through these fluids are sent to the brain for interpretation.

The function of the canals are not indicated by the name, rather the shape is hinted through the name.
