What is the second largest watershed by drainage area in north america?

a police officer finds 60 m of skid marks at the scene of a car crash. Assuming a uniform deceleration of 7.5 m/s to a stop , wh

Oliga [24]

The equation to be used is for the rectilinear motion at constant acceleration:

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
a = (v-v₀)/t
where
x is distance
v and v₀ is the final and initial velocity
t is time
a is acceleration

Because the acceleration is decelerating, that would be reported as -7.5 m/s². Substituting,

-7.5 = (0 - v₀)/t
v₀ = 7.5 t --> eqn 1

x = v₀t + 0.5at²
60 = (7.5t)(t) + 0.5(-7.5)(t²)
Solving for t,
t = 4s

Thus,
v₀ = 7.5 m/s² * 4s
v₀ = 30 m/s

When a plane flies with the wind, it can travel 1575 miles in 3.5 hours. when the plane flies in the opposite direction, again

Zepler [3.9K]

When plane is flying along the wind then we can say

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{3.5}$

$V_{plane} + v_{wind} = 450 mph$

Now when its going against the wind the speed is given by

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{distance}{time}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = \frac{1575}{4.5}$

$V_{plane} - v_{wind} = 350 mph$

Now by the above two equations we will have

$V_{plane} = 400 mph$

$v_{wind} = 50 mph$

A lunar module weighs 12 metric tons on the surface of the Earth. How much work is done in propelling the module from the surfac

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

Explanation:

Given that

Weight on the earth = 12 tons

So weight on the moon =12/6 = 2 tons

( because at moon g will become g/6)

As we know that

$F=\dfrac{K}{x^2}$

Here x= 1100 miles

F 2 tons

$2=\dfrac{K}{1100^2}$

So

$K=2.4\times 10^6$

We know that

Work = F. dx

$W=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}F.dx$

$W=\int_{1100}^{1140}\dfrac{2.4\times 10^6}{x^2}.dx$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{x}\right]_{1100}^{1140}$

$W=-2.4\times 10^6\left[\dfrac{1}{1140}-\dfrac{1}{1100}\right]$

W=76.55 miles.metric tons

Why does the Polaris appear to remain stationary in the night sky when other stars show an apparent pattern?

yanalaym [24]

Because one pole of the Earth's axis of rotation (the North one) points
almost exactly toward Polaris.

If Polaris had a pimple or a bump somewhere on its edge, you'd see
the bump rotate around the whole edge, like a clock, once a day. But
the whole star appears to stay in one place, because our axis points to it.

Points A, B, and C lie along a line from left to right, respectively. Point B is at a lower electric potential than point A. Poi

djyliett [7]

Answer:

A) The particle will accelerate in the direction of point C.

Explanation:

As we know that

potential at points A, B,C and D as V_A, V_B, V_C, V_D and it is clear from the question that

V_A>V_B>V_C

And we know that flow is always from higher to lower potential (for positive charge due to positive potential energy).

So the charge will accelerate from B toward C.

Hence, the correct option is A.
