Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4\ m/s^2}}$

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of an object with respect to time. It is the change in velocity over the time.

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

The car starts at 10 meters per second and increases to 20 meters per second in 2.5 seconds.

$v_f$ = 20 m/s
$v_i$ = 10 m/s
t= 2.5 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

$a= \frac{ 20 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s }$

Solve the numerator.

$a= \frac{10 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s}$

Divide.

$a= 4 \ m/s/s$

$a= 4\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the car is <u>4 meters per second squared.</u>

What distance will be traveled if you are going 120km/hr for 0.75 hr?

SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

60 km

Explanation:

For an object (or a person, such as in this case) moving at constant speed, the speed is equal to the ratio between the distance travelled and the time taken:

where

v is the speed

d is the distance

t is the time taken

In this case, we have:

v = 120 km/h is the speed

t = 30 min = 0.5 h is the time taken

Therefore, we can rearrange the equation to find the total distance travelled:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is ________.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. transparent.

Explanation:

A material that transmits nearly all the light in a ray because it offers little resistance to the light is <u>transparent.</u>

A transparent material allows light to pass through them with little or no resistance enabling them see-through. A material that transmits nearly all the light rays that pass through it because it offers little resistance to the light is TRANSPARENT. Examples of transparent materials are water, glass (flint and crown), air, and diamond.

Find the average energy E for (a) An n-state system, in which a given state can have energy 0,,2,...,n . (b) A harmonic oscillat

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

a♦1 E_average = n E₀ / 2 , b) E_average= infinity

Explanation:

The energy values form an arithmetic series, whose sum is

S = n (a₁ + aₙ) / 2 = n (2a₁ + (n-1) r)/ 2

Where n is the number of terms, a₁ is the first term, aₙ the last term and r is the difference between two consecutive numbers in the series

r = 2E₀ - 0 = 2E₀

Therefore the sum is

S = n (0 + n E₀) / 2

S = n² E₀ / 2

The average value is

E_average = S / n

E_average = n E₀ / 2

b) the case of harmonic oscillation

We have two possibilities.

- if we take a finite number and terms gives the same previous value

- If we take an infinite number of fears the series gives infinity and the average is also infinite

E_average= infinity

The current in an electric hair dryer is 10

Vikki [24]

First let's convert the time in seconds:
$\Delta t= 5 min= 5 min \cdot (60 s/min)= 300 s$

The current is defined as the quantity of charge flowing through a certain section of a circuit per unit of time:
$I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}$
Using I=10 A, and $\Delta t=300 s$ , we can find the amount of charge flown through the hair dryer in this time:
$Q=I \Delta t=(10 A)(300 s)=3000 C$

The charge of a single electron is $q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C$ , so the number of electrons flown through the hair dryer is the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:
$N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{3000 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C} =1.88 \cdot 10^{22}$
