A car traveling at 26 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 6 seconds. What is its acceleration?

1 answer:

5 0

Alright let's start this off with our basic equation!

Accerlation (a) = ?

Initial velocity (V1)= 26 m/s
Final velocity (V2) = 0 ft/s because the car comes to a complete stop!

Time (t) = 6 seconds

The equation for acceleration is below!
a = $\frac{Final velocity - Initial Velocity}{time}$

So now, just plug in the values!
a = $\frac{0 - 26}{6}$
a = $\frac{-26}{6}$
a = -4.33 m/s²

Therefore, your acceleration is -4.33 m/s²!! Hope this helped and was one of the branliest answers :')

You walk 20 m north then 30 m west for a total timer four minutes what is the magnitude of your average velocity in (m/s)

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The average velocity is 0.15 m/s

Explanation:

Use the definition of average velocity as the distance traveled divided the time it took.

Since the movement was on the plane from the origin (0, 0) to the point (-30, 20) corresponding to 30 m west and 20 m north, we calculate the distance using the distance between two points on the plane:

$distance=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} = \sqrt{(-30)^2+20^2} =\sqrt{1300} \approx 36.06\,\,m$

Then the magnitude of the average velocity can be estimated via the quotient between distance divided time, but since the units required are meters per second, we first convert the four minute time into seconds: 4 * 60 = 240 seconds.

Then the average velocity becomes:

$v_{ave}=\frac{distance}{time} =\frac{36.06}{240} =0.15\,\,m/s$

The current in a hair dryer measures 19 amps. The resistance of the hair dryer is 14 ohms. What is the voltage?

Masja [62]

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

= (19 A) x (14 ohms) = 266 volts .

Note: Be careful using that thing !

It's dissipating

I² R = (19 A)² x (14 ohms) = 5,054 watts ! ! !

That's an awful lot of power for a blow-dryer !

The dryer is certainly not using very much of that power to run the fan.
Most of it is being used to heat air. 5 kilowatts is more power than most
toasters or microwave ovens use, so please be careful with how much of
your hair or skin you expose to that hot-air blast. You could probably cook
a meatloaf with it.
