A car traveling north with a velocity of 30 m/sec slows down to a velocity of 10 m/sec within 10 sec. What is the car's acceleration?

-2m/s/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in speed / change in time

Change in speed = final speed - initial speed

In this case the change in speed was 10m/s - 30m/s = -20m/s

And change in time was 10 sec (within 10 sec)

Therefore acceleration = -20/10 = -2m/s/s

The acceleration is negative because the car slowed down (decelerated essentially) and the unit for acceleration is meters per second per second because it is the change in speed per second.

Hope this helped!

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
