The acceleration of gravity is 32.2 ft/sec^2.
After 3 seconds of free fall, the car is falling at 96.6 ft/sec.

60 mph is 88 ft/sec.

Let's look at it in two ways:

==> 96.6 is 9.8% greater than 88 .

==> It takes the car (88/32.2)=2.73 seconds to reach 60 mph. 3 is 9.8% greater than 2.73 .

Either way you look at it, the rough number is within 10% of the real number. That's plenty close enough to say that they're "about" the same.

It really depends on what the friends mean when they say "about". As an engineer, my personal feeling is that anything less than 10% off is a beautiful match.

1 mile = 1609 meters.60 miles = 96 540 meters.1 hour = 3 600 seconds.
Then:The velocity V = 96 540 / 3600 ≈ 26.8 m/s
Acceleration of free falla = V/t = 26.8/3 ≈ 8.9 m/c².
But it should be (excluding air resistance of 9.8 m/s².
Answer: the statement is wrong!

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

A uniform meter rule with a mass of 200g is suspended at zero mark pivotes at 22.0cm mark. calculate the mass of the rule.
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The mass of the rule is 56.41 g  

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the object suspended at zero mark, m₁ = 200 g

pivot of the uniform meter rule = 22 cm

Total length of meter rule = 100 cm

0                          22cm                                  100cm

-------------------------Δ------------------------------------

↓                                                                       ↓

200g                                                                 m₂  

Apply principle of moment

(200 g)(22 cm - 0)     = m₂(100 cm - 22 cm)

(200 g)(22 cm) = m₂(78 cm)

m₂ =  (200 g)(22 cm)  / (78 cm)

m₂ = 56.41 g  

Therefore,  the mass of the rule is 56.41 g

Beams used in Heavy Timber construction are sometimes firecut. This is done to: a) allow air circulation at the beam’s end in an
ladessa [460]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

Fire cut of fireman cut is diagonal cut which is provided at the end of the beam to prevent the fall of masonry wall if a fire breaks out in the building.

Fire cut allows joist to leave if it fails without affecting the masonry wall standing.

Without fire cut, the burnt beam will rotate downward affecting the connection of beam and wall and leading to damage it.
