Explanation:

Distance traveled by motorist =(15.0m/s)t

Distance traveled by policeman =1/2(2.00m/s2)t2

(a) Intercept occurs when 15.0t =t2or t=15.0s.

(b) x(officer)=1/2(2.00m/s2)t2= 225m

What is the gravity of sombrero galaxy compared to earth?
Aleksandr [31]
the Sombrero galaxy, is one of the largest mosaics ever assembled from Hubble observations. The hallmark of the nearly edge-on galaxy is a brilliant, white, bulbous core encircled by thick dust lanes comprising the spiral structure of the galaxy. This dust lane is the site of star formation in the galaxy. The center of M104 is thought to be home to a massive black hole. I hope this helped

A car with speed v and an identical car with speed 2v both travel the same circular section of an unbanked road. If the friction
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

Explanation:

Let m is the mass of both cars. The first car is moving with speed v and the other car is moving with speed 2v. The only force acting on both cars is the centripetal force.

For faster car on the road,

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v = 2v

F=\dfrac{m(2v)^2}{r}

F=4\dfrac{m(v)^2}{r}..........(1)

For the slower car on the road,

F'=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}............(2)

Equation (1) becomes,

F=4F'

F'=\dfrac{F}{4}

So, the frictional force required to keep the slower car on the road without skidding is one fourth of the faster car.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

50 m

Explanation:

F = ma

10 N = (10 kg) a

a = 1 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 1 m/s²

t = 10 s

Find: Δx

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (0 m/s) (10 s) + ½ (1 m/s²) (10 s)²

Δx = 50 m

A circuit supplied with 110V carries 5 Amps current. Calculate the Resistance value of the circuit?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The value is R =  22 \  \Omega

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The voltage is  V  =  110 \  V

    The current is  I  =  5 \  A

Generally the resistance value is mathematically represented as

         R =  \frac{V}{I}

=>      R =  \frac{110}{5}

=>      R =  22 \  \Omega
