Answer:

21.0 m/s than the speed limit

Explanation:

You've been called in to investigate a car accident by the Bluffs. A car went over a 7.93 meter high cliff  and fell so that it hit the ground 26.7 meters from the base of the cliff. The driver was lucky to walk  away with minor injuries, but the car is a write-off. He claims that he was not driving over the posted  speed limit of 9.72 m/s. For insurance purposes, the driver is lying. In order to prove this you must, use the height of the cliff to determine how long it took the car to land.

Explanation:

Use the height of the cliff to determine how long it took the car to land.

Take down to be positive.  Given:

Δy = 7.93 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

7.93 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.27 s

Use the time to calculate the horizontal velocity.

Given:

Δx = 26.7 m

a = 0 m/s²

Find: v₀

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

26.7 m = v₀ (1.27 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (1.27 s)²

v₀ = 21.0 m/s

The driver was going 21.0 m/s, faster than the speed limit of 9.72 m/s.

Explain the difference between a conductor and an insulator. Give two examples of each.
docker41 [41]
There are different kinds of conductors, most notably electrical and thermal conductors. But they are often inclusive of each other (electrical conductors are typically good thermal conductors). A conductor transmits something through its body with high efficiency while an insulator does not transmit very well. In the case of electricity, a conductor transmits electrical energy between two points while an insulator blocks the flow of electricity. Two examples of conductors are copper and silver. Two examples of insulators are wood and styrofoam.

pshyical change is a usually reversible change of a substance, as size or shape: Freezing a liquid is a physical change. Compare chemical change.

internal change is when the movement of the particles increases

specific latent heat is the amount of energy per kg (unit mass) required to change ice to water without change in temperature.

My name is Ann [436]
<span>The gain in potential energy is 600*2 = 1200 J, and this is the minimum required work that would be required in a frictionless situation. The work that actually has to be done is F*X = 300*5 = 1500 J. The efficiency is therefore 1200/1500 = 80%</span>
