Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{v}{t} \\$

v is the velocity

t is the time

From the question we have

$a = \frac{160}{4.5} = 35.55555...$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

If a train going 60 m/s hits the brakes, and it takes the train 85 seconds to stop, what is

Anvisha [2.4K]

Question :-

If a Train going with 60 m/s Speed hits the Brakes, and takes 85 sec to stop. What is the Acceleration of the Train ?

Answer :-

Acceleration of Train is 0.70 m/s² .

Explanation :-

As per the provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Speed of the Train is 60 m/s . Time taken to stop the Train is 85 sec . And, we have been asked to calculate the Acceleration of the Train .

For calculating the Acceleration , we will use the Formula :-

$\bigstar \: \: \: \boxed { \sf{ \: Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{v \: - \: u}{t} \: }} \\$

Where ,

V denotes to Final Velocity .
U denotes to Initial Velocity .
T denotes to Time Taken .

Therefore , by Substituting the given values in the above Formula :-

$\dag \: \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{Final \: Velocity \: - \: Initial \: Velocity}{Time} } \\$

$\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{0 \: - \: 60}{85} } \\$

$\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{Acceleration \: = \: \dfrac{60}{85} } \\$

$\longmapsto \: \: \: \textbf {\textsf {Acceleration \: = \: 0.70 }}$

Hence :-

Acceleration = 0.70 m/s² .

Explain why a car driving around a curve at a constant speed is accelerating.

GREYUIT [131]

But the fact is that an accelerating object is an object that is changing it’s velocity.. for this reason , it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing .

Draw the vector C⃗ =A⃗ +2B⃗ .

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

A) C is 2 units towards right

B) C is 9 units towards right and 3 units towards up

C) C is 4 units towards right and 1 unit towards down

Explanation:

Drawings are given in the attachment.

A)Since,

A is 4 units towards right,

B is 1 unit towards left,

Then,

C is 2 units towards right.

B) Since,

A is 4 units towards right and 2 units towards up,

B is 1 unit towards left,

Then,

C is 9 units towards right and 3 units towards up.

C) Since,

A is 4 units towards right and 2 units towards up,

B is 1 unit towards right, and 1 unit towards down

Then,

C is 4 units towards right and 1 unit towards down.
