Speedy Sue, driving at 34.0 m/s, enters a one-lane tunnel. She then observes a slow-moving van 160 m ahead traveling at 5.20 m/s

. Sue applies her brakes but can accelerate only at −1.80 m/s2 because the road is wet. Will there be a collision?

Answer:

there will be collision

Explanation:

v_{s} =  speed of sue = 34 m/s

v_{v} = speed of van = 5.20 m/s

v_{sv} = speed of sue relative to van  = v_{s} - v_{v} = 34 - 5.20 = 28.8 m/s

d_{s} = stopping distance after brakes are applied

D = distance between sue and van = 160 m

v_{f} = final speed of sue = 0 m/s

a = acceleration = - 1.80 m/s²

Using the kinematics equation

v_{f}^{2} = v_{o}^{2} + 2 a d_{s}

0^{2} = 28.8^{2} + 2 (1.80) d_{s}

d_{s} = 230.4 m

Since  d_{s} < D

hence there will be collision

Which of these best explains why people on Earth cannot see the entire shape of the Milky Way
BartSMP [9]
I believe the answer is A.

Since the Earth is in the Milky Way and not outside it, we cannot see the exact shape of it. Physicists have been able to track and graph the movements of the planets accurately for thousands of years, but that does not mean we know the shape of the entire solar system.<span />

PLEASEE I NEED HELP FAST!!! .Study the scenario.A small container of water with a low temperature is poured into a large contain
RSB [31]

Answer:

that best describes the process is C

Explanation:

This problem is a calorimeter process where the heat given off by one body is equal to the heat absorbed by the other.

Heat absorbed by the smallest container

             Q_c = m ce (T_{f}-T₀)

Heat released by the largest container is

              Q_a = M ce (T_{i}-T_{f})

how

        Q_c = Q_a

       m (T_{f}-T₀) = M (T_{i} - T_{f})

Therefore, we see that the smaller container has less thermal energy and when placed in contact with the larger one, it absorbs part of the heat from it until the thermal energy of the two containers is the same.

Of the final statements, the one that best describes the process is C

since it talks about the thermal energy and the heat that is transferred in the process

The melting of polar ice is one effect of
Stels [109]
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".

A turntable is designed to acquire an angular velocity of 32.4 rev/s in 0.5 s, starting from rest.
horrorfan [7]
Well, the acceleration is the difference of speeds divided by the time period. \frac{32.4}{0.5}=64.8rev/s^2.
One rev/s is 2\pi rad/s^2, so our final result is 64.8*2\pi=407.15rad/s^2.
