Answer:

1.6875m/s²

Explanation:

$acceleration = \frac{final \: velocity \: - \: initial \: velocity}{time \: taken}$

a = unknown.

v (final velocity) = 27m/s

u (initial velocity) = 0m/s (as the car was stationary in the traffic lights).

t (time taken) = 18s

$a = \frac{27 - 0}{16}$

acceleration = 1.6875m/s²

hope it helps. :)

Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

B. By adding the number of protons and the number of neutrons

Explanation:

The atomic mass is determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. An atom is made up of three fundamental particles: Electrons, Protons and Neutrons.

The protons and neutrons occupy a central region in an atom known as the nucleus. The nucleus is positively charged and mass concentrated.

If we compare the relative masses of the subatomic particles, the masses of protons and neutrons would be 1 and that of an electron would be 1/1840. This shows that the mass of electrons are negligible.

In order to ascertain atomic mass, we therefore add the number of protons and neutrons together. This is how we arrive at 12.011 as the value of the atomic mass of C and for other elements.

The atomic mass is also known as the mass number.

A 70.0 kg sprinter starts a race with an acceleration of 1.60 m/s^2, What is the net external force (in N) on him? (Enter the ma

Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

External force on him will be 112 N

Explanation:

We have given the mass of the sprinter m =70 kg

Acceleration of the sprinter $a=1.6m/sec^2$

We have to find the net external force

According to second law of motion force = mass ×acceleration

Force is dependent on the mass and acceleration

So $F=70\times 1.6=112 N$

So external force will be 112 N

How is the temperature of a gas related to the kinetic energy of its particles

love history [14]

The average kinetic energy of a gas particle is directly proportional to the temperature. An increase in temperature increases the speed in which the gas molecules move. All gases at a given temperature have the same average kinetic energy. Lighter gas molecules move faster than heavier molecules.
