Answer:

A or B depending on your precision

Explanation:

In real life, applying to solid will shrink it depending on the amount of pressure applied, but due to the strength of solid bonds, the volume change is often negligible in practical situation and would only be accounted under astronomically high pressure phenomena (eg. at Jupiter's core or near black hole).

In high school level, and for many applications, it is entirely viable to completely neglect the change in solid volume under pressure. Thus, A is a legitimate answer. However, bear in mind that <em>in theory</em> the volume still decreases by a very slight amount. So B is correct as well, theoretically. The most correct option depends on the precision you needed.

Two cars travel in the same direction along a straight highway, one at a constant speed of 55 mi/h and the other at 60 mi/h.How
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the faster car, v₁ = 60 mi/h

speed of the slower car, v₂ = 55 mi/h

Let the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car = x miles

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}

Note: divide 15 mins by 60 to convert to hours for consistency in the units.

\frac{x}{55} - \frac{x}{60}   = \frac{15}{60}\\\\multiple \ through \ by \ 660\\\\12x - 11x = 165\\\\x = 165 \ miles

Therefore, the distance traveled by the faster car when it is 15 mins ahead of the slower car is 165 miles.

Richard Julius once made a model plane that could travel a max speed of 110 m/s. Suppose the plane was held in a circular path b
hjlf

Answer:

85.8 m/s

Explanation:

We know that the length of the circular path, L the plane travels is

L = rθ where r = radius of path and θ = angle covered

Now,its speed , v = dL/dt = drθ/dt = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

where dθ/dt = ω = angular speed = v'/r where v' = maximum speed of plane and r = radius of circular path

Now, from θ = θ₀ + ωt where θ₀ = 0 rad, ω = angular speed  and t = time,

θ = θ₀ + ωt = 0 + ωt = ωt

So, v = rdθ/dt + θdr/dt

v = rω + ωtdr/dt

v = (r + tdr/dt)ω

v = (r + tdr/dt)v'/r

v = v' + tv'/r(dr/dt)

v = v'[1 + t(dr/dt)/r]

Given that v' = 110 m/s, t = 33.0s, r = 120 m and dr/dt = rate at which line is shortened = -0.80 m/s (negative since it is decreasing)

So, v = 110 m/s[1 + 33.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/120 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.80 m/s)/40 m]

v = 110 m/s[1 + 11.0 s(-0.02/s)]

v = 110 m/s[1 - 0.22]

v = 110 m/s(0.78)

v = 85.8 m/s
