An observer recorded the following data for the motion of a car undergoing constant acceleration. Time (s)
3.0
5.0
6.0
Speed (m/s)
4.0
7.0
8.5
What was the magnitude of the acceleration of the car?
4.5 m/s2
O 2.0 m/s2
3.0 m/s2
1.5 m/s2

Option D) 1.5 m/s² is the correct answer.

The magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 1.5 m/s².

given the data in the question;

record of the observation;

Time(s)      Speed(m/s)

3.0                4.0

5.0                7.0

6.0                8.5

Since its undergoing constant acceleration, we can make use any two from the three data recorded.

So, lets consider motion between t₁ = 3.0s and t₂ = 5.0s

Initial velocity at t₁ ; u = 4.0 m/s

final velocity at t₂; v = 7.0 m/s

Now, Time Elapsed;

To determine the magnitude of acceleration "a", we use the first equation of motion which says;

we make "a" the subject of the formula

so we substitute in our values;

Therefore, the magnitude of the acceleration of the car is 1.5 m/s².

Option D) 1.5 m/s² is the correct answer.

weather forecasts are done by collecting data about the current state of the atmosphere mainly the temperature, humidity and wind and using meteorology, to determine the atmosphere that evolves over time. the h and l mean the high and low pressure. the red strip is a warm front. the blue strip is a cold front. the blue and red strip is a stationary front. the purple strip is a occluded front.

explanation:

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it
