Answer:

Explanation:

<em>Position is the location of the object (whether it's a person, a ball, or a particle) at a given moment in time.</em>

<em>Displacement is the difference in the object's position from one time to another.</em>

<em>Distance is the total amount the object has traveled in a certain period of time.</em>

A car initially at rest accelerates at 10m/s^2. The car’s speed after it has traveled 25 meters is most nearly... A.) 0.0m/s B.)
STALIN [3.7K]

The car traverses a distance x after time t according to

x=\dfrac12at^2

where a is its acceleration, 10 m/s^2. The time it takes for the car to travel 25 m is

25\,\mathrm m=\left(5\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)t^2\implies t=\sqrt 5\,\mathrm s

5 is pretty close to 4, so we can approximate the square root of 5 by 2. Then the car's velocity v after 2 s of travel is given by

v=\left(10\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(2\,\mathrm s)\approx20\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

which makes C the most likely answer.

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .
