Answer:

-30m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object  = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object  = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration "a" is given by:

a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

where vf represents final velocity, vi represents initial velocity and  is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

a=\frac{50-200}{5}

a=\frac{-150}{5}

a= -30m/s

The acceleration of the object is -30m/s

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)

An object is 1.0 cm tall and its erect image is 5.0 cm tall. what is the exact magnification?
ikadub [295]
The exact magnification of the objects is calculated by dividing the cinema. We calculate it by diving the erect image size by the object size. From the given above, we find the exact magnification by dividing 5.0 cm by 1.0 cm. Thus, the answer would be 5.

Which statement best summarizes Gregor Mendel’s contribution to science?
Rama09 [41]
Hey there!

<span>Which statement best summarizes Gregor Mendel’s contribution to science?

Mendel is considered the "father of genetics". He did NOT increse the number of peas </span>
<span>produced by a single plant using cross-breeding techniques, discover grean peas and yellow peas, or invent the green pea by cross-breeding thousands of pea plants.

This means your answer is option D.

Hope this helps
Have a great day (:

At what speed must a 0.6 kg stone be thrown in order that it has a relativistic mass of 0.76 kg? (c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (A) 0.39
exis [7]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Relativistic Mass of the stone, m₀ = 0.6

Mass, m=0.76\ kg

Relativistic mass is given by :

m=\dfrac{m_o}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}}}.........(1)

Where

c is the speed of light

On rearranging equation (1) we get :

v^2=c^2(1-(\dfrac{m_o}{m})^2)

v=c\sqrt{ (1-(\dfrac{m_o}{m})^2)}

v=c\sqrt{ (1-(\dfrac{0.6}{0.76})^2)}

v = 0.61378 c

or

v = 0.6138 c

So, the correct option is (c). Hence, this is the required solution.
