The acceleration is calculated using the formula a= change in velocity/time. Here, it becomes A=10-0/2, simplifying to A=10/2, resulting in A=5 m/s².

The acceleration of the cat is given as . To explain, the initial speed of the cat is u = 0 (it starts from rest), the final speed v = 10, and the time taken t = 2 s. Acceleration, denoted as a, is the change in velocity per time unit. Thus, the calculation yields 5\ m/s^2, representing the solution.

A parachutist, after opening her parachute, finds herself gently floating downward, no longer gaining speed. She feels the upwar
Sav [3153]

As the parachutist is descending at a steady rate

we can conclude that

a = \frac{dv}{dt}

Acceleration indicates the change in velocity

given the constant velocity in this scenario

a = 0

Thus, in this situation, we find the acceleration to be zero

It’s understood from Newton's second law

F_{net} = ma

where a is equal to 0

F_{net} = 0

F_{net} = F_g - F_b

Here, the force due to gravity

equals the force due to buoyancy

F_gHence, we can deduce

F_b

therefore

F_g - F_b = 0

as such the upward force is counteracted by the downward force.

A car covers 72 kilometers in the first hour of its journey. In the next hour, it covers 90 kilometers. What is the amount of wo
Softa [3030]
The work done can be calculated using the equation:

Work = Force x Distance = Change in kinetic energy

The kinetic energy is derived using the following formula: KE = (1/2)*m*v^2
Thus, the change in kinetic energy is calculated as (1/2)*m*(Vf)^2 - (1/2)*m*(Vo)^2

Where:

Vf represents the final speed = 90 kph = 25 m/s
Vo denotes the initial speed = 72 kph = 20 m/s

By substituting in the given values:

Work = (1/2)*2500*(25^2) - (1/2)*2500*(20^2) = 281250 J, which can also be represented as 2.8 x 10^5 Joules.

The correct choice among the options is A.
