If a car sets off from rest with a constant acceleration of 3 m/(s^2), what would its speed be after 5 seconds?

Firstly we write down all known variables: Initial speed (u)=0 m/s, Acceleration (a)=3 m/s2, Time (t)=5s. Final velocity (v)=?Therefore, the equation chosen to solve the problem would be: v=u+a...

How do you calculate the specific heat capacity of a substance?

c = EmΔt. With E being the thermal energy during the transfer, m being the mass of the substance, and Δt being the change in temperature.Usually they'll hide one of the values E, m or Δt in a different eq...
