A car traveling due east at 20 m/s reverses its direction over a period of 10 seconds so that it is now traveling due west at 20 m/s. What is the direction of the car's average acceleration over this period?a- The car's average acceleration points due west. b- The car's average acceleration is zero. c- The car's average acceleration points due east. d- The direction of the car's average acceleration cannot be determined from the given information.

The car's average acceleration points due west.

Explanation:

Resolving the acceleration will give a resultant due west

answer: the exterior temperature of commercial jet planes as they leave the stratosphere and return to the ground increases steadily.

explanation:

the lower most layer of atmosphere is troposphere which extends from 0 to 12 km above the surface of the earth. the temperature initially decreases as distance is increased from the earth's surface. commercial jets fly in lower part of the stratosphere. the stratosphere extends upto 50 km. the temperature in stratosphere starts rising again due to presence of ozone which traps the uv rays.

thus, when the planes leave the stratosphere and return to the ground, the exterior temperature increases steadily.
