Explanation:

Plasma can conduct electricity because plasma consists of electrically charged particles called ions, instead of uncharged particles such as atoms or molecules.

In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 78.5 m/s. Th

Andrews [41]

Answer:

FT is 1020.6 meters (1640.6 meters - 620 meters) far from MB

Explanation:

First you have to consider that the Ford Thunderbird (FT) follows a rectilinear motion with varying acceleration, while Mercedez Benz (MB) has a constant velocity (no acceleration). So if you finde the time spent by FT in each section, and the distance, then you will find the distance for MB.

1) Vf² = Vi² + 2ad, where Vf: final velocity, Vi: ionitial velocity, a: acceleration and d: distance.

For the first portion (0 m/s)² = (78.5 m/s)² + 2a(250 m) ⇒

-(78.5 m/s)² / 2(250m) = a ⇒ a = -12.3 m/s².

Now, you can find the corresponding time for this section with the following formule: Vf = Vi + at ⇒ 0 m/s = 78.5 m/s + (-12.3 m/s²) t

⇒ t= (-78.5 m/s)/ (-12.3 m/s²) ⇒ t= 6.4 seconds.

2) Then FT spent 5 seconds in the pit.

3) The the FT accelerates until reach 78.5 m/s again in a distance of 370 m.

Vf² = Vi² + 2ad ⇒ (78.5 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2a(370 m)

⇒ (78.5 m/s)²/ 2(370 m) = a ⇒ a = 8.3 m/s²

Then, Vf = Vi + at ⇒ 78.5 m/s = 0 m/2 + (8.3 m/s²) t

⇒ (78.5 m/s)/(8.3 m/s²) = t ⇒ t = 9.5 seconds.

4) Summarizing, the FT moves 620 meters (250 + 370 mts) in 20.9 seconds ( 6.4 s + 5 s + 9.5 s).

5) During this time, MB moves

Velocity = distance/ time ⇒ Velocity x time = Distance

⇒ Distance = (78.5 m/s) x (20.9 seconds) ⇒ Distance = 1640.6 meters

6) Finally, the FT is 1020.6 meters (1640.6 meters - 620 meters) far from MB

Collapse question part Part 4 (d) What is the unit vector in the direction of the spacecraft's velocity? (Express your answer in

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

Explanation:

Given:

v = (-23.2, -104.4, 46.4) m/s

Above expression describes spacecraft's velocity vector v.

Find:

Find unit vector in the direction of spacecraft velocity v.

Solution:

Step 1: Compute magnitude of velocity vector.

mag (v) = sqrt ( 23.2^2 + 104.4^2 + 46.4^2)

mag (v) = 116.58 m/s

Step 2: Compute unit vector unit (v)

unit (v) = vec (v) / mag (v)

unit (v) = [ -23.2 i -104.4 j + 46.4 k ] / 116.58

unit (v) = [ -0.199 i - 0.8955 j + 0.39801 k ]

A car traveling at 60km/h undergoes uniform acceleration at a rate of 2/ms^2 until is velocity reached 120km/h determine the dis

jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of a car, u = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s

Acceleration, a = 2m/s²

Final speed, v = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance.

acceleration = rate of change of velocity

$a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\\t=\dfrac{33.33 -16.67 }{2}\\\\t=8.33\ s$

let the distance be d.

$d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\frac{33.33^{2}-16.67^{2}}{2(2)}\\\\d=208.25\ m$

Hence, the distance traveled and the time taken to make the distance is 208.25 m and 8.33 seconds respectively.

What animals were delisted in july 2019?

andrezito [222]

The animals which were delisted from the endangered species in July 2019 is Grey Wolf

Answer: Grey wolf

<u>Explanation:</u>

The ultimate goal of the Endangered Species Act was to preserve the species that are in the verge of extinction. The species are conserved and taken care of till they can be left free in the wild for it to survive of it's own.If the species has crossed all the recovery goals then they are delisted.

The grey wolf in July 2019 was delisted from the endangered species list. Now it is calculated that there are 6000 wolves that are found. But yet the grey wolf has not returned back to their livelihood and also to their sutable habitat.
