How do you know that a speedometer tells you the instantaneous speed of a car?

Because the speedometer responds directly and proportionally to acceleration (whether speeding up or breaking). If the speedometer displayed average speed it would not be directly affected by changes in speed due to acceleration

The acceleration of gravity on Earth is approximately 10 m/s2 (more precisely, 9.8 m/s2). If you drop a rock from a tall buildin

Answer:

30 m/s

Explanation:

Velocity is $v_{final}=v_{initial}+at$ since we know that the initial velocity is 0, and the acceleration is $9.8 \frac{m}{s^2} \approx 10 \frac{m}{s^2}$ then we also know that time is 3 seconds it follows that: $v_{final}=v_{initial}+at=0+10\frac{m}{s^2}*3s=30\frac{m}{s}$

A block of gelatin is 120mm by 120mm by 40mm whrn unstressed. A force of 49N is applied tangentially to the upper surface causin

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The shearing stress is 10208.3333 Pa

The shearing strain is 0.25

The shear modulus is 40833.3332 Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Block of gelatin of 120 mm x 120 mm by 40 mm

F = force = 49 N

Displacement = 10 mm

Questions: Find the shear modulus, Sm = ?, shearing stress, Ss = ?, shearing strain, SS = ?

The shearing stress is defined as the force applied to the block over the projected area, first, it is necessary to calculate the area:

A = 40*120 = 4800 mm² = 0.0048 m²

The shearing stress:

$Ss=\frac{F}{A} =\frac{49}{0.0048} =10208.3333Pa$

The shearing strain is defined as the tangent of the displacement that the block over its length:

$SS=tan\theta =\frac{Displacement}{L} =\frac{10}{40} =0.25$

Finally, the shear modulus is the division of the shearing stress over the shearing strain:

$Sm=\frac{10208.3333}{0.25} =40833.3332Pa$
