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

In Speed Study Number 1, we looked at two cars traveling the same distance at different speeds on city streets. Car "A" traveled

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

230.4 s

Explanation:

The speed of car A is

$v_A = 35 mi/h$

and the distance travelled is

$d = 10 mi$

so the time taken for car A is

$t_A = \frac{d}{v_A}=\frac{10 mi}{35 mi/h}=0.286 h$

The speed of car B is

$v_B = 45 mi/h$

and the distance travelled is

$d = 10 mi$

so the time taken for car B is

$t_B = \frac{d}{v_B}=\frac{10 mi}{45 mi/h}=0.222 h$

So the difference in time is

$\Delta t = t_A - t_B = 0.286 h -0.222 h=0.064 h$

Which corresponds to

$\Delta t = 0.064 h \cdot 3600 s/h = 230.4 s$

so car B arrived 230.4 s before car A.

In a long, straight, vertical lightning stroke, electrons move downward and positive ions move upward and constitute a current o

uranmaximum [27]

The number of revolutions the electron completes in 60.0-μs of the strike is 134.

A magnetic field, a vector field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, and magnetic materials. When a charge moves through a magnetic field, a force that is perpendicular to both its own velocity and the magnetic field operates on it.

Electrons go downward and positive ions move upward in a long, straight, vertical lightning stroke, creating a current of magnitude I = 20.0 kA.

A free electron travels through the air at a speed of v = 300 m/s at a place r = 50.0 m east of the stroke's center.

Let the magnetic field be B, and F be the magnetic force.

Counterclockwise horizontal arcs of field lines are produced by the upward lightning current.

We have, B = 8 × 10⁻⁵ T and;

The mass of an electron is, m = 9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg

The time interval is Δt = 60 μs = 60 × 10⁻⁶

The angular frequency is given as:

ω = qB /m = 2πN / Δt

Where the number of revolutions is N.

So,

N = qBΔt /2πm

N = (l.60 × l0⁻¹⁹)(8 × l0⁻⁵)(60 × 10⁻⁶) / 2π(9.11 × 10⁻³¹ kg)

N = 134 revolutions

The experiments Galileo performed, such as rolling a ball down an inclined plane, are important because they

anyanavicka [17]

Galileo Galilei is one of the key figures in the history of Science, being the first to apply the experimental-mathematical scientific method. He carried out experiments and careful observations in kinematics (his studies on the trajectory of projectiles are famous) and dynamics (it should be noted his careful experiments with inclined planes), establishing the first law of Dynamics (which Newton will later collect and refine in his Principles); and in Astronomy, with which he could unequivocally support the heliocentric theory.

His experiments were addressed by methodologies that allowed him to precisely find his mathematical calculations and to verify theories he was developing over time. His manuscripts were key to disseminate the applied method and extrapolate them to other scientific areas.

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Why are the poles and slightly lower latitudes so cold in the summertime when they receive almost 24 hours of daylight? I know t

castortr0y [4]

Explanation:

As the earth travels around the sun in the elliptical orbit it must also be know that the axis of the earth is tilted as well.

So when the earth is at the farthest point and the tilt of the earth's axis is towards the sun in that case the sun rays always incident on the surface of the earth near the poles and hence there is sunlight for the 24 hours of the day. But the intensity of these rays is very low because of the their slanted angle of incident. In other words the same sun rays cover a larger area and the luminous intensity is reduced.

When the earth is near to the sun we have an increased average temperature of the day during that phase giving us an experience of summer season and vice-versa is the condition in winter seasons. The tilt of the earths axis is responsible for variation in extremities of the seasons with respect to the geographical location.
