A cartoon shows two friends watching an unoccupied car in free fall after it has rolled off a cliff. one friend says to the othe

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!

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

  • An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
  • A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
  • When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
  • So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
  • The apron acts a protective layer.

What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car traveling at 75mph?What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car t
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 2812500 joules

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500kg

Velocity of car = 75mph

Kinetic energy = ?

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 500 x 5625

= 2812500 joules

Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules
