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!

What is the difference between current and voltage besides their units of measurement
kondor19780726 [428]
"Voltage" is the "pressure" that makes electrons want to leave where they are
and head in some direction, if there's conducting material in that direction.

"Current" is the rate at which they all migrate in that direction.

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.
