Waldo gets stopped by the police, and the police officer tells Waldo that she caught him on radar doing 50 miles per hour in a 4

0 miles per hour zone.
Waldo responds, " I was traveling 50 miles per hour. I sat at home for 1 hour and then drove for 1 hour before you stopped me. I traveled 50 miles total in that second hour. So, my speed was 25 miles per hour. That's well under the speed limit."
Waldo is wrong, per speeding laws, and does receive a speeding ticket. Explain how Waldo came up with a speed of 25 miles per hour in multiple sentences.

Answer:

He calculated his average speed.

Explanation:

Waldo calculated an average of his speed in 2 hours rather than his speed whilst driving which means instead of doing 50/1 hour = 50 mph, he did 50/2hours which is how he got 25 mph. Hope this helps!

For each of the problems below, you will need to draw a graph to find the solution.
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Final velocity (v) of an object equals initial velocity (u) of that object plus acceleration (a) of the object times the elapsed time (t) from u to v. Use standard gravity, a = 9.80665 m/s2, for equations involving the Earth's gravitational force as the acceleration rate of an object.

The children at the local park think the slide is too slow. There is too much fiction. What could you do to decrease the amount
igor_vitrenko [27]
In order to decrease the friction on the slide,
we could try some of these:

-- Install a drippy pipe across the top that keeps continuously
dripping olive oil on the top end of the slide.  The oil oozes
down the slide and keeps the whole slide greased.

-- Hire a man to spread a coat of butter on the whole slide,
every 30 minutes.

-- Spray the whole slide with soapy sudsy water, every 30 minutes.

-- Drill a million holes in the slide,and pump high-pressure air
through the holes.  Make the slide like an air hockey table.

-- Keep the slide very cold, and keep spraying it with a fine mist
of water.  The water freezes, and a thin coating of ice stays on
the slide.

-- Ask a local auto mechanic to please, every time he changes
the oil in somebody's car, to keep all the old oil, and once a week
to bring his old oil to the park, to spread on the slide.  If it keeps
the inside of a hot car engine slippery, it should do a great job
keeping a simple park slide slippery.

-- Keep a thousand pairs of teflon pants near the bottom of the ladder
at the beginning of the slide.  Anybody who wants to slide faster can
borrow a set of teflon pants, put them on before he uses the slide, and
return them when he's ready to go home from the park.

Answer:

Concept: Periodic Trends

  1. So we have Li and we have C
  2. Li has is lower in the periodic table and as you progress from s group to p group and eventually d group, the traction and ability to attract electrons increases.
  3. Hence option D

A 1000.kg car moving at north at 100. km/hr brakes to a stop in 50. m within a uniform acceleration. what are magnitude and dire
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Force=7.71KN in the opposite direction

Explanation:

Given the mass of the car(M)=1000Kg

The initial speed of the car(u)=100km/hr

we know that 1km/hr=5/18 m/sec

100km/hr=100*5/18 m/sec=27.77m/sec

the distance travelled before it stops (s)=50m

let the acceleration of the car be a

The final velocity of the car is 0.

we know that  v^{2}-u^{2}=2as

0^{2}-27.77^{2}=2(-a)(50)

a=7.712m/sec^{2}

We know that F=Ma

F=1000* 7.712=7712N=7.71KN
