They will be travelling slower than 10mph.
if they were travelling at the same speed then they would stay an equal distance apart.
if they were travelling fatser then they would be getting further away more quickly than Bobby is catching up.
maybe they are travelling at 5mph but I'd say it's a safer option to chose under 10mph

A 1 pound bucket rests on a table. What is the support force exerted on the bucket by the table? What is the support force when
katrin2010 [14]

This question involves the concepts of equilibrium and Newton's third law of motion.

The support force will be "1 pound" for the empty bucket and the support force will be "6 pounds" after pouring water into it.

  • According to the condition of equilibrium, the sum of forces acting on a stationary object must be zero. Hence, the support force of the table will be equal to the total mass of the bucket.
  • According to Newton's Third Law of Motion every action force has an equal but opposite reaction force. Hence, the support force will be a reaction force to the weight of the bucket.

Therefore, the support force in each case will be equal to the total mass of the bucket:

Case 1 (empty bucket):

<u>support force = 1 pound</u>

<u></u>

Case 1 (water poured):

support force = 1 pound + 5 pound

<u>support force = 6 pound</u>

<u></u>

Two different liquids are poured into a jar until it is half full. The jar is then sealed shut and shaken. The liquids undergo a
Lilit [14]

Answer:

A closed system.

Explanation:

The three major types of system are: open, closed and isolated. Open system interacts with its surroundings with respect to its particles and energy. A closed system interacts with its surroundings with respect to energy but not its particles. While an isolated system does not interact with its surroundings in any way.

Therefore, after the jar is sealed, it is an example of a closed system. This is because the emitted gas could not escape into the surroundings, but thermal energy was emitted into its surroundings after the chemical reaction has taken place.

If a 0.15 kg ball falls and has a KE of 20 J just before striking the ground, from what height did it fall. A. 1.36m B. 3m C. 13
RUDIKE [14]
According to the conservation of mechanical energy, the kinetic energy just before the ball strikes the ground is equal to the potential energy just before it fell. 

Therefore, we can say KE = PE
We know that PE = m·g·h

Which means KE = m·g·h

We can solve for h:

h = KE / m·g
   = 20 / (0.15 · 9.8) 
   = 13.6m

The correct answer is: the ball has fallen from a height of 13.6m.

What is the magnitude and direction (right or left) of the
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer: 12 N to the right

Explanation:

If we calculate the net force acting on the box, we will have:

<u>In y-component:</u>

Fy_{net}=F_{n}+F_{g} (1)

Where F_{n}=12 N is the Normal force, directed upwards and F_{g}=-12 N is the weight of the box (gravity force), directed downwards.

Fy_{net}=12 N-12 N (2)

Fy_{net}=0 N (3) Hence the net force in the vertical component is zero

<u>In x-component:</u>

Fx_{net}=F_{left}+F_{right} (4)

Where F_{left}=-3 N and F_{right}= 15 N

Fx_{net}=-3 N + 15 N (5)

Fx_{net}=12 N (6) This is the net force in the horizontal component

Therefore, the total net force acting on the box is 12 N directed to the right

The critical angle between a medium and air is 430. What is the speed of light in that medium?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

The speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.

Explanation:

since the critical angle is Фc = 430, we know that the refractive index is given by:

n = 1/sin(Фc)

  = 1/sin(430)

  = 1.06

then if n is the refractive index of the medium and c is the speed of light, then the speed of light in the medium is given by:

v = c/n

  = (3×10^8)/(1.06)

  = 281907786.2 m/s

Therefore, the speed of light is that medium is 281907786.2 m/s.
