A race car is one lap behind the lead race car when the lead car has 44 laps to go in a race. If the speed of the lead car is 55

.9 m/s, what must be the average speed of the second car to catch the lead car just before the end of the race (i.e., right at the finish line)? Assume 1 lap is 1.34 km. Answer in units of m/s

Answer:

Speed of second car will be 57.17 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given lead car travels = 44 laps

1 laps = 1.34 km = 1340 m

So total distance = 1340×44 = 58960 m

Speed of lead car = 55.9 m/sec

We know that time=\frac{distance}{speed}=\frac{58960}{55.9}=1054.74sec

As the second car is 1 lap behind so distance traveled by second car = 45×1340 = 60300 m

So speed of second car will be speed=\frac{distance}{time }=\frac{60300}{1054.74}=57.17m/sec

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>

What is true weightlessness ?​
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

weightlessness, condition experienced while in free-fall, in which the effect of gravity is canceled by the inertial (e.g., centrifugal) force resulting from orbital flight. ... Excluding spaceflight, true weightlessness can be experienced only briefly, as in an airplane following a ballistic (i.e., parabolic) path.
