Initial velocity=20m/s
Final velocity=0m/s(As the car stops)
Acceleration=-8m/s^2
Distance=s=26m

We need to verify the thrid equation of kinematics here

$\\ \tt\longmapsto v^2-u^2=2as$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 20^2=2(-8)s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto 400=-16s$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=|400/-16|$

$\\ \tt\longmapsto s=25m$

The squirrel has a good luck ,Car gets stopped just 1m away from the squirrel .

Explanation:

According to the Question

A squirrel runs out in front of a car moving at +20m/s ( initial speed u) . The driver slams on the brakes and begins decreasing at -8m/s² ( here the acceleration is acting in opposite directions of motion a )

When Squirrel was 26 metres ( Distance from the car initially )

Using Kinematic Equation

v² = u² + 2as

On substituting the value we obtain

➥ 0² = 20² + 2 × -8 × s

➥ 0 = 400 - 16 × s

➥ -400 = -16 × s

➥ 400/16 = s

➥ 25 = s

So, the squirrel is 25 metres from the car .

The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two identical ions that are separated by a distance of 5.0A is 3.7×10^-9N.a) wh

jeyben [28]

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrostatic force, $F=3.7\times 10^{-9}\ N$

Distance, $r=5\ A=5\times 10^{-10}\ m$

(a) $F=\dfrac{kq^2}{r^2}$ , q is the charge on the ion

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr^2}{k}}$

$q=\sqrt{\dfrac{3.7\times 10^{-9}\times (5\times 10^{-10})^2}{9\times 10^9}}$

$q=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C$

(b) Let n is the number of electrons are missing from each ion. It can be calculated as :

$n=\dfrac{q}{e}$

$n=\dfrac{3.2\times 10^{-19}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}$

n = 2

Hence, this is the required solution.

musickatia [10]

The answer is letter C.

Reflecting telescopes are more powerful than refracting telescopes. These are also called as reflectors which serves an optical telescope that uses a single or combination of curved mirrors. These mirrors then reflect light and form an image. It is designed for very large diameter objects and are mostly considered as major telescopes in the field of astronomy. They were used as an alternative for refracting telescopes during the 17th century because they suffer less chromatic aberrations than a refracting telescope does.

While traveling along a highway a driver slows from 24 m/s to 15 m/s in 12 seconds. What is the automobile's acceleration? (Reme

slava [35]

Answer:

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 24 m/s

Final velocity = 15 m/s

Time = 12 seconds

To find the acceleration of the automobile;

Acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

This simply means that, acceleration is given by the subtraction of initial velocity from the final velocity all over time.

Hence, if we subtract the initial velocity from the final velocity and divide that by the time, we can calculate an object’s acceleration.

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac {final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac{15 - 24}{12}$

$Acceleration = \frac{-9}{12}$

Acceleration = -0.75 m/s²

Therefore, the automobile is decelerating because its final velocity is lesser than its initial velocity, leading to a negative value.
