The initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.

CALCULATE INITIAL VELOCITY:

The initial velocity of the car can be calculated by using one of the equation of motion as follows:

V = u + at

Where;

  • V = final velocity (m/s)
  • u = initial velocity (m/s)
  • a = acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)
  • t = time (s)

According to this question, a car accelerates at a constant rate of 3 m/s² for 5 seconds. If it reaches a velocity of 27 m/s, its initial velocity is calculated as follows:

u = v - at

u = 27 - 3(5)

u = 27 - 15

u = 12m/s.

Therefore, the initial velocity of a car that accelerates at a constant rate of 3m/s² for 5 seconds is 12m/s.

Which describes the relationship between photon energy and the color of light?
Andrew [12]
Photon energy is directly proportional to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation.
(That would also mean that it's inversely proportional to the wavelength.)

So the photon energy increases as you scan the chart of visible colors
moving from the red end of the rainbow to the blue end.

What causes dispersion of light?​
AysviL [449]
Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.

calculate the force required to take away a flat corcular plate of radius 0.01m from the surface of water. the surface tention o
leonid [27]

Answer:

Force = 0.0047175\ N

Explanation:

Given

T = 0.075N/m --- Surface Tension

r = 0.01m --- Radius

Required

Determine the required force

First, we calculate the circumference (C) of the circular plate

C= 2\pi r

C= 2 * \frac{22}{7} * 0.01m

C= \frac{2 * 22 * 0.01}{7}m

C= \frac{0.44}{7}m

C= 0.0629 m

The applied force is then calculated using;

Force = C * T

Force = 0.0629m * 0.075N/m

Force = 0.0047175\ N
