At a stop light, a truck traveling at 10.5 m/s passes a car as it starts from rest. The truck travels at constant velocity and t
ratelena [41]

Answer:

t = 7 sec.

Explanation:

As the car and the truck travel the same distance, assuming a constant acceleration, we can describe the movement of the truck and the car with these equations for this same displacement:

x(truck) = v*t (1)

x(car) = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (2)

As the left sides of (1) and (2) are equal each other, the same must be true for the right sides:

v*t = \frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}

Solving for t, replacing v= 10.5 m/s and a= 3 m/s², we have:

t = \frac{2*v}{a} = \frac{2*10.5 m/s}{3 m/s2}  = 7 sec.

⇒ t = 7 sec.

Why does the area around the equator stay about the same temperature year round?
Verdich [7]
Axial Tilt and Sun Energy

This axial tilt means that during the Earth's journey around the sun the poles receive varying amounts of sunlight. The equator, however, receives relatively consistent sunlight all year. The consistency of energy means the equator's temperature stays relatively constant all year.

A 50 mL graduated cylinder contains 25.0 mL of water. A 42.5040 g piece of gold is placed in the graduated cylinder and the wate
Elenna [48]

Answer:

19320 kg/m³

Explanation:

density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³.

The formula of density is given as,

D = m/v ......................... Equation 1.

Where D = Density of the gold, m = mass of the gold, v = volume of the gold.

Note: From Archimedes's Principle, the piece of gold displace an amount of water that is equal to it's volume.

Amount of water displace = 27.2 - 25 = 2.2 mL.

Given: m = 42.504 g = 0.042504 kg, v = 2.2 mL = (2.2/10⁶) m³ = 0.0000022 m³

Substitute into equation 1

D = 0.042504/0.0000022

D = 19320 kg/m³

Hence the density of the piece of gold = 19320 kg/m³

Brilliant_brown [7]

Given that,

A ball is thrown upward. At a height of 10 meters above the ground, the ball has a potential energy of 50 Joules. It is moving upward with a kinetic energy of 50 Joules.

We need to find the maximum height h reached by the ball. Let at a height of 10 meters, it has a potential energy of 50 Joules. So,

mgH=50\\\\mg=\dfrac{50}{h}\\\\mg=\dfrac{50}{10}\\\\mg=5\ N ........(1)

Let at a height of h m, it reaches to a maximum height. at this point, it has a total of 100 J of energy. So,

mgh=50+50\\\\mgh=100\\\\h=\dfrac{100}{5}\\\\h=20\ m

So, the correct option is (E) "h = 20 m".
