Every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. Therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.

an object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object $v_i$ = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object $v_f$ = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration $a$ is given by:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

where $v_f$ represents final velocity, $v_i$ represents initial velocity and $t$ is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

$a=\frac{50-200}{5}$

$a=\frac{-150}{5}$

$a=-30\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$ (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.

The light of that star actually gives off

-I believe the star gives off energy-, With most stars, like our sun, hydrogen is being converted into Helium, a process which gives off energy that heats the star.
