What is one way that speed doesn't influence a collision?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is the last choice. D. More likely to power out of danger. This cannot be more opposite than the actual effect of speed to collision, instead due to speed, the reaction time for you to react is smaller as you approach the vehicle to collide faster than when speed is low.

zimovet [89]

The cheetah's speed is 100x and The gazelle's speed is 80x + 70. Set the two equations equal to each other: 100x = 80x +70 (then subtract 80x from both sides). 20x = 70 (then divide by 20). X =3.5. The cheetah catches the gazelle after 3.5

asambeis [7]

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

A rocket weighs 9800N (opposing force) what is it mass? What netforce moves the rocket? What applied force gives it a vertical a

Slav-nsk [51]

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.

For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!

1. A small light bulb is shining light on a basketball (diameter is 23 cm or 9 inches). The light bulb is 3 m from the closest s

siniylev [52]

Answer:

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall is approximately 53.38 cm

Explanation:

The given parameters of the basketball are;

The diameter of the basketball = 23 cm (9 inches)

The distance of the light bulb from the closest side of the basketball = 3 m

The distance from the ball to the wall = 4 m

The distance from the light source to the center of the ball, d = 3 m + 0.23/2 m = 3.115 m

The angle the light ray makes with the edge of the ball, θ = arctan(0.115/3.115)

Therefore, the ratio of the shadow width divided by 2 to the distance from the light from the wall = 0.115/3.115

The distance from the light from the wall = 3 m + 4 m + 0.23 m = 7.23 m

Therefore;

((The width of the shadow)/2)/(The distance from the light from the wall) = 0.115/3.115

∴ ((The width of the shadow)/2)/(7.23 m) = 0.115/3.115

((The width of the shadow)/2) = 7.23 m × 0.115/3.115 = 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.2669 m = 26.69 cm

The width (diameter) of the shadow on the wall = 2 × 16629/62300 m ≈ 0.5338 m = 53.38 cm

The size (diameter) of the basketball's shadow on the wall ≈ 53.38 cm

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a

Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_x = v cos \theta$

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

$\theta$ is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its x-component is

$A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

$B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41$

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

$v_y = v sin \theta$

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so $\theta_A = 0^{\circ}$ . So its y-component is

$A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0$

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is $\theta_B = -70^{\circ}$ , so the y-component is

$B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7$

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.
