Answer:

2048.63 N

Explanation:

Force: The product of mass and the  acceleration of a body. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).

From the question

P = F×V.................... Equation 1

Where P = power generated by the car, F = Total resistive force acting on the car, V = Velocity of the car.

make F the subject of the equation

F = P/V................ Equation 2

Given: P = 75.0 hp = (75×745.7) = 55927.5 W, V = 27.3 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

F = 55927.5/27.3

F = 2048.63 N

Hence the total resistive force acting on the car = 2048.63 N

Which of the following statements regarding heuristics and empiricism is true? A. Heuristics allows a priori theoretical concep
WITCHER [35]

Answer: <em>Option (A) is correct.</em>

Explanation:

A heuristic is  often referred to as an approach to solving problems or discovery that subjects a method, which is considered to be practical although might not be guaranteed to be perfect, optimal, or rational, but sufficient for reaching to goal.

Empiricism is known as a theory under which one can states that knowledge can only be imparted from the sensory experience. It is considered to be one of the main notions underlying in epistemology, i.e. known as the study of human knowledge, alongside skepticism and rationalism.

Robert, a stuntman, projects himself from a height of 50.0 meters in a horizontal direction. He safely lands at a horizontal dis
Olin [163]
To get this we need to know how long he was traveling. To know that we need to solve for the time it took for him to hit the ground. This is given by the vertical height he started at and the equation of motion for falling objects. The position function is
Y= -(9.8/2)t^2 + 50 = 0
t=3.19s
That's how long he's in the air. When he hits the ground he stops moving forward so this is also the amount of time he was moving at 100m/s horizontally. Now use speed distance relationship
X=vt
And solve for v
100m/3.19s = 31.35m/s

For incident ray C, the angle of refraction is 90°. The refracted ray C has the smallest amount of energy of any refracted ray.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

When a ray of light travels into rarer medium from the denser medium and the angle of refraction is 90° so the angle of incidence in the denser medium is called critical angle for that pair of media.

Here, the angle of refraction is 90°, so the angle of incidence C is called the angle of incidence which is equal to the critical angle.
