The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in Figure P2.24. (i) Find the average acceleration of the object during the time intervals (a) 0 to 5.0 s, (b) 5.0 s to 15 s, and (c) 0 to 20 s. (ii) Find the instantaneous acceleration at (a) 2.0 s, (b) 10 s, and (c) 18 s.

Consider a 1000 w iron whose base plate is made of 0.5 cm thick aluminum alloy 2024-t6 (ρ = 2770 kg/m3 and cp = 875 j/kg°c). the base plate has a surface area of 0.03 m2. initially, the iron is in thermal equilibrium with the ambient air at 22°c. assuming 90% of the heat generated in the resistance wires is transferred to the plate, determine the minimum time needed for the plate temperature to reach 200°c.

You can watch static electricity in action by rubbing an inflated balloon against your hair. your hair will actually stand on its end! it does this because each hair becomes charged, and they all repel one another.

2) why do satelites not fall while revolving around the earth?
