Answer:

3.33 seconds

Explanation:

We can use the velocity formula [ v = u + at ] to solve.

Find the value "u".

135km/h -> 135km*1000m/3600s -> 37.5m/s

Find the value "v".

75km/h -> 75km*1000m/3600s -> 20.83m/s

Keep in mind we are dealing with "deceleration" so when we input 5.0m/s into the formula, it will be a negative value.

Now, find "t" which is the value we aren't given with the values we're given in the question.

20.83 = 37.5 - 5t

-16.67 = -5t

3.33 = t

Best of luck!

How does the gravity which pulls the moon and earth toward each other also affect the ocean?
slamgirl [31]
Gravity is what holds the planets in orbit around the sun and what keeps the moon in orbit around Earth. The gravitational pull of the moon pulls the seas towards it, causing the ocean tides. Gravity creates stars and planets by pulling together the material from which they are made.

Why are circuit breakers and fuses important?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

A fuse and circuit breaker both serve to protect an overloaded electrical circuit by interrupting the continuity, or the flow of electricity. ... Fuses tend to be quicker to interrupt the flow of power, but must be replaced after they melt, while circuit breakers can usually simply be reset.

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.40 x 10-5 cm?
S_A_V [24]
<span>To begin, the formula for finding frequency when wavelength is known is "f = c / w" when c is the constant velocity (3 * 10^8 m/s). To convert the wavelength into a common form (m/s), it will have to be multiplied by 10^-2. This leaves the equation as "f = 3.0 * 10^8 / (2.4 * 10^-5 * 10^-2), or 2.4 * 10^-7. This gives 1.25 * 10^15 m/s as the frequency.</span>

A car is moving in uniform circular motion. If the cars speed were to double to keep the car moving with the same radius the acc
Stells [14]

Answer:

<em>The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4</em>

<em>Correct choice: B.</em>

Explanation:

<u>Circular Motion</u>

The circular motion is described when an object rotates about a fixed point called center. The distance from the object to the center is the radius. There are other magnitudes in the circular motion like the angular speed, tangent speed, and centripetal acceleration. The formulas are:

v_t=w\ r

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{v_t^2}{r}

If the speed is doubled and the radius is the same, then

\displaystyle a_c=\frac{(2v_t)^2}{r}

\displaystyle a_c=4\frac{v_t^2}{r}

The centripetal acceleration would increase by a factor of 4

Correct choice: B.

A slinky forms it’s third harmonic standing wave when the input frequency is 24 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of the sli
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: The fundamental frequency of the slinky = 8Hz

An input frequency of 28 Hz will not create a standing wave

Explanation:

Let Fo = fundamental frequency

At third harmonic,

F = 3Fo

If F = 24Hz

24 = 3Fo

Fo = 24/3 = 8Hz

If an input frequency = 28 Hz at 3rd harmonic

Let find the fundamental frequency

28 = 3Fo

Fo = 28/3

Fo = 9.33333Hz

Since Fo isn't a whole number, it can't create a standing wave
