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.

6, P 14 are consecutive terms in an AP<br>find the value of P.​
xenn [34]

In an arithmetic progression, consecutive terms differ by the same value.

So, we have

P-6 = 14-P

which reflects the fact that the difference between P and 6 must be the same than the one between P and 14.

The equation solves to

2P=20\iff P=10

And in fact, if you start with

6, 10, 14

every pair of consecutive terms differ by 4.

How much heat is absorbed by a 450g gold block as energy from the sun causes its temperature to change from 27°C to 32°C? (Speci
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Q = 1057.5 [cal]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{final}-T_{initial})

where:

Q = heat energy [cal]

Cp = specific heat = 0.47 [cal/g*°C]

T_final = final temperature = 32 [°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 27 [°C]

m = mass of the substance = 450 [g]

Now replacing:

Q=450*0.47*(32-27)\\Q=1057.5[cal]

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there
