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.

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?
aniked [119]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.

How are magnetic and electric fields similar?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields: ... Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges). Like poles repel; unlike poles attract. Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge ...

Explanation:

copied and pasted from google. I copied and pasted your question into google and got this exact answer

Here is another thing from the same website just not shortened:

Similarities between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges).

- Like poles repel; unlike poles attract

- Electric field points in the direction of the force experienced by a positive charge. Magnetic field points in the direction of the force experienced by a north pole.

Differences between magnetic fields and electric fields:

- Positive and negative charges can exist separately. North and south poles always come together. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed.

- Electric field lines have definite starting and ending points. Magnetic field lines are continuous loops. Outside a magnet the field is directed from the north pole to the south pole. Inside a magnet the field runs from south to north.

A 0.1 kg beach ball hit me moving forward at 4 m/s. After hitting me, it bounced back moving at the same speed
xenn [34]

0.4 N-s is the "impulse" acted on the "beach ball".

Option: C

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the "beach ball" is 0.1 kg.

The speed of the ball hits is 4 m/s.

We know that,

Whenever an object is collide with other object then an impulse is acted on object, this "impulse" causes "change in momentum".

Impulse acted on the beach ball is "mass" times "velocity".

Impulse = mass × velocity

Impulse = 0.1 × 4

Impulse = 0.4 kg m/s

Impulse = 0.4 N-s

Therefore, the "impulse" acted on the ball is 0.4 N-s.
