The acceleration of the car is 6.86 m/s² and the time taken for the car to stop is 3.64 s.

The given parameters;

mass of the car, m = 1400 kg
Initial velocity of the car, u = 25 m/s
coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.7

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

a = μg

a = 0.7 x 9.8

a = 6.86 m/s²

The time taken for the car to stop is calculated by using Newton's second law of motion;

F = ma

$F = \frac{mv}{t} \\\\ma = \frac{mv}{t}\\\\a = \frac{v}{t} \\\\t = \frac{v}{a} \\\\t = \frac{25}{6.86} \\\\t = 3.64 \ s$

Thus, the acceleration of the car is 6.86 m/s² and the time taken for the car to stop is 3.64 s.

Answer:

Please, in the Explanation section you will find the explanation of the answer.

Explanation:

The exercise shows the continental United States and 3 cities used in the study carried out by Murdock. It can be said that the sample taken is part of the objective. There are several inconsistencies in Murdock's argument: the first has to do with the fact that the sample that was taken cannot represent the entire American population. A much larger, scientifically calculated sample would be required. The second is that their study did not take into account small cities or people living in the interior of the United States.

A proton, an alpha particle (a bare helium nucleus), and a singly ionized helium atom are accelerated through a potential differ

ra1l [238]

Answer:

The correct question is:

"Find the energy each gains"

The energy gained by a charged particle accelerated through a potential difference is given by

$\Delta U = q\Delta V$

where

q is the charge of the particle

$\Delta V$ is the potential difference

For a proton,

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

And since $\Delta V=100 V$

The energy gained by the proton is

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

For an alpha particle,

$q=+2e=3.2\cdot 10^{-19}C$

Therefore, the energy gained is

$\Delta U=(3.2\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=3.2\cdot 10^{-17}J$

Finally, for a singly ionized helium nucleus (a helium nucleus that has lost one electron)

$q=+e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C$

So the energy gained is the same as the proton:

$\Delta U=(1.6\cdot 10^{-19})(100)=1.6\cdot 10^{-17}J$

What term was used to describe the final digit

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Significant digits (also called significant figures or “sig figs” for short) indicate the precision of a measurement. A number with more significant digits is more precise. For example, 8.00 cm is more precise than 8.0 cm.

Symbolic representations are mental pictures that have no direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Instead, these mental pictures are connected by themes that are meaningful to you. Anytime you think of words and descriptions for one main concept, you're thinking symbolically. Analogical representations are mental pictures that have a direct relationship to the actual object you are thinking about. Do cows have their ears on the top or side of their heads? Rather than thinking symbolically about a cow and his ears (tiny, smelly, leather), analogical representations of the cow's ears involve thinking of an actual cow in your head.
