a supertanker traveling at 7.2 m/s decelerates to a halt in 12 min. Calculate the magnitud of its average decelaration in meters per second squared

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 7.2 m/s) / (12 min ×  60 s/min)

a = -0.01 m/s²

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
