Answer:False

Explanation:

Turn the key to lock is not advisable as it lock the steering wheel and may create a dangerous situation.

Following steps can be taken in this situation

Try to press the brake to stop the vehicle
Shift gear to neutral in order to cease the acceleration of car.
Try to lift the gas pedal in order to decrease the velocity of car.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The above statement is true as when we turn the key to lock the steering wheel the engine is also turned off. This makes the situation safer for the driver. Provided the driver need not change direction. Moreover, warn other drivers by blinking or flashing the hazard lights.

If a force does a positive amount of work on an object, does the object's speed

Alexxandr [17]

The speed of the object increases

Explanation:

We can answer this question by applying the work-energy theorem, which states that the work done on an object is equal to the change in kinetic energy of the object. Mathematically:

$W=K_f -K_i= \frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where

W is the work done on the object

$K_f, K_i$ are the final and initial kinetic energy of the object, respectively

m is the mass of the object

v is its final speed

u is its initial speed

In this case, the force does a positive amount of work on the object, so

$W>0$

This also implies that

$K_f > K_i$

And so

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 > \frac{1}{2}mu^2$

And therefore

$v>u$

which means that the speed of the object increases.

Why did boy (the observer) hear the pitch of the sound change? What does this tell us about the frequency of the sound? Support

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

<u>because of the doppler effect</u>

Explanation:

<em>Remember</em>, the doppler effect refers to the changes in sound (frequency of sound) observed by a person who is in a position relative to the wave source.

In this example, we notice as the train comes closer to the boy, the sound becomes louder also increasing the pitch slightly, the doppler effect sets in when the train passes the boy because the boy notices a decrease in the pitch of the moving train.

We learn from the change in the observed sound of the train that the frequency of the sound is determined by the distance of the observer from the wave source.

In other words, the closer the source of the sound to the observer; the faster it travels to the observer, however, the farther it is; the lesser it is; the greater the sound heard.

Aaron's normal response time to apply the car brakes is 0.7 seconds. Aaron's response time doubles when he is tired. How far wil

Likurg_2 [28]

Aaron's car is moving at speed of 30 m/s

His reaction time is given as 0.7 s

but when he is tired the reaction time is doubled

Now we need to find the distance covered by his car when he is tired during the time when he react to apply brakes

So here since during this time speed is given as constant so we can say that distance covered can be product of speed and time

So here we can use

$d = v*t$

$d = 30 * 1.4$

$d = 42 m$

So the car will move to 42 m during the time when he apply brakes
