when a traffic accident is investigated, it is common for the length of the skid marks to be measured. how could this informatio

n be used to estimate the initial speed of the vehicle that left the skid marks?

This information could be used in the following ways: the braking distance of a skidding car will depend on its initial speed and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Thus, if the coefficient of friction is known the initial speed can be determined from the length of the skid marks.

What do you mean by Initial speed?

Initial speed can be described as  how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. It can be represented in the form of (u) and is generally measured in metres per second (m/s).

It can be represented in three ways.

  • v2=u2+2as
  • v=u+at
  • s=ut+0.5at2

Through these formulas we can calculate the initial speed of any object. It helps in understanding various velocities, time principles.

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

503°C

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the computation of the final temperature is shown below:

In this question we use the law of ideal gas i.e

pV = nRT

i.e

\frac{p_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{p_2V_2}{T_2}

Therefore

T_2 = T_1 (\frac{p_2}{p_1}) (\frac{V_2}{V_1})

= 300\ k (\frac{2.72 \times 10^{6} Pa + 1.01 \times 10^{5} Pa}{1.01 \times  10^{5} Pa})(\frac{46.2 cm^3}{499 cm^3})

= 776 k

= (776  - 273)° C

= 503°C

Therefore the final temperature is 503°C

We simply applied the above formulas so that the final temperature could arrive

A lightbulb is rated by the power that it dissipates when connected to a given voltage. For a lightbulb connected to 120 V house
jeyben [28]

Answer:

Increase, increase

Explanation:

For a light bulb, voltage, resistance and current follows the Ohm's law:

V=RI

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

In this problem, the voltage is fixed: V=120 V. We can rewrite the equation as

I=\frac{V}{R} (1)

we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance: so, if we decrease the resistance of the filament, the current will increase.

Moreover, the power dissipated by the bulb is

P=I^2 R

which can be rewritten using (1) as

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

We see that the power dissipated is inversely proportional to the resistance: therefore, if we decrease the resistance of the filament, the power dissipated will increase.
