For each pair Independent variable and the dependent variable is -

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

Independent variable = how far the car has traveled

dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

Independent variable = How much money you've spent

dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by

Independent variable = how much time went by

dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled

An independent variable in any experiment or research is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment, this change leads to a direct effect on the dependent variable.

A dependent variable is a variable that is directly affected by the independent variable and it is the variable that is measured or tested in an experiment.

Thus,

a. How much gas is left in the gas tank vs. how far the car has traveled.

Independent variable = how far the car has traveled

dependent variable = How much gas is left in the gas tank

b. How much money you've spent vs. how much money is in your wallet.

Independent variable = How much money you've spent

dependent variable = how much money is in your wallet.

c. How far a toy car traveled vs. how much time went by

Independent variable = how much time went by

dependent variable = How far a toy car traveled

A speeding Thunderbird left skid marks on the road that were 76.7 m long when it came to a stop. If the acceleration of the car

FrozenT [24]

Answer: 39.2 m/s

Explanation:

You can use the kinematic equation:

$v_f^2=v_i^2+2a*d$

We know the final velocity because it says it came to a stop. So now all we gotta do is plug in.

$0^2=v_i^2+2(-10)(76.7)\\v_i^2=1,534\\v_i=\sqrt{1534} \\=39.166 m/s$

A 22.0 kg bucket of concrete is connected over a very light frictionless pulley to a 375 N box on the roof of a building as show

Veronika [31]

Answer:

vf = 3.27[m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must analyze each body individually and find the respective equations. The free body diagram of each body (box and bucket) should be made, in the attached image we can see the free body diagrams and the respective equations.

With the first free body diagram, we determine that the tension T should be equal to the product of the mass of the box by the acceleration of this.

With the second free body diagram we determine another equation that relates the tension to the acceleration of the bucket and the mass of the bucket.

Then we equalize the two stress equations and we can clear the acceleration.

a = 3.58 [m/s^2]

As we know that the bucket descends 1.5 [m], this same distance is traveled by the box, as they are connected by the same rope.

$x = \frac{1}{2} *a*t^{2}\\1.5 = \frac{1}{2}*(3.58) *t^{2} \\t = 0.91 [s]$

And the speed can be calculated as follows:

$v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t\\v_{f}=0+(3.58*0.915)\\v_{f}= 3.27[m/s]$

The spider will cross the driveway <u>25.71 in seconds</u>.

Why?

It's a conversion problem, so, in order to solve it, we need to convert the units of the given information.

Let's convert the given speed (in cm/s) to m/s.

We know that:

$1m=100cm$

So, converting we have:

$14\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1m}{100cm}=0.14\frac{m}{s}$

Then, calculating the time, we have:

$distance=speed*time\\\\3.6m=0.14\frac{m}{s}*time\\\\time=\frac{3.6m}{0.14\frac{m}{s}}=25.71s$

We have that the spider will cross the driveway in 25.71 seconds.

Have a nice day!

Suppose the rocket in the Example was initially on a circular orbit around Earth with a period of 1.6 days. Hint (a) What is its

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

a

The orbital speed is $v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

b

The escape velocity of the rocket is $v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

Explanation:

Generally angular velocity is mathematically represented as

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{T}$

Where T is the period which is given as 1.6 days = $1.6 *24 *60*60 = 138240 sec$

Substituting the value

$w = \frac{2 \pi}{138240}$

$= 4.54*10^ {-5} rad /sec$

At the point when the rocket is on a circular orbit

The gravitational force = centripetal force and this can be mathematically represented as

$\frac{GMm}{r^2} = mr w^2$

Where G is the universal gravitational constant with a value $G = 6.67*10^{-11}$

M is the mass of the earth with a constant value of $M = 5.98*10^{24}kg$

r is the distance between earth and circular orbit where the rocke is found

Making r the subject

$r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{GM}{w^2} }$

$= \sqrt[3]{\frac{6.67*10^{-11} * 5.98*10^{24}}{(4.45*10^{-5})^2} }$

$= 5.78 *10^7 m$

The orbital speed is represented mathematically as

$v=wr$

Substituting value

$v= (5.78*10^7)(4.54*10^{-5})$

$v= 2.6*10^{3} m/s$

The escape velocity is mathematically represented as

$v_e = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r} }$

Substituting values

$= \sqrt{\frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.98*10^{24})}{5.78*10^7} }$

$v_e= 3.72 *10^3 m/s$

HELP ASAP PLS!<br><br> Explain Newton’s 3 laws of motion by using the example of a rollercoaster.

dybincka [34]

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." So that applies to a roller coaster, between the ride vehicles and the track. When a ride goes up and down the hill, it creates different forces onto the track.
