Answer:

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

a) A cart starts from rest and accelerates at 4.0 m/s² for 5.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 0 m/s

        a = 4.0 m/s²

         t = 5 s

         v = u + at = 0 + 4 x 5 = 20 m/s

b) Then maintains that velocity for 10 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = 0 m/s²

         t = 10 s

         v = u + at = 20 + 0 x 10 = 20 m/s

c) Then decelerates at the rate of 2.0 m/s² for 4.0 s

        v = ?

        u = 20 m/s

        a = -2.0 m/s²

         t = 4 s

         v = u + at = 20 + -2 x 4 = 12 m/s

Final speed of car = 12 m/s

A penny is placed on a rotating turntable. Where on the turntable does the penny require the largest centripetal force to remain
Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

m = mass of the penny

r = distance of the penny from the center of the turntable or axis of rotation

w = angular speed of rotation of turntable

F = centripetal force experienced by the penny

centripetal force "F" experienced by the penny of "m" at distance "r" from axis of rotation is given as

F = m r w²

in the above equation , mass of penny "m"  and angular speed "w" of the turntable is same at all places. hence the centripetal force directly depends on the radius .

hence greater the distance from center , greater will be the centripetal force to remain in place.  

So at the edge of the turntable , the penny experiences largest centripetal force to remain in place.

In would say that you may have water in your brakes which may have gotten in the brake lines or in the brake discs so that could cause the brakes to malfunction due to driving through the pools of water so the brakes should be examined as soon as possible.

A metal spoon becomes hot after being left in a pan of boiling water. this is an example of _____. conduction reflection radiati
IRISSAK [1]
Two methods of transfer of heat are involved in this process: conduction and convection.

In fact, the metal spoon is heated by conduction because the molecules of the boiling water collide with the molecules of the spoon, releasing heat to it; and also by convection, because in the pot of boiling water masses of hot water goes upward and they give their heat to the spoon, then these masses become cooler and they go down, replaced by other masses of hot water.

You and your dog are walking along a pond. Your dog looks into the still water and is startled to see its reflection. Which phen
attashe74 [19]

You just identified the image as a "reflection", so it's a pretty good bet that
the phenomenon involves reflection somehow.

Your dog can see his reflection in a mirror inside the house just as easily
as in the surface of the pond.  My dogs do it all the time.  The phenomenon
doesn't require water.

It's reflection of light waves.
