2.85 A police car is traveling at a velocity of 18.0 m/s due north, when a car zooms by at a constant velocity of 42.0 m/s due n
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

11.1 s

Explanation:  

Speed of the police car as given = v = 18 m/s

Speed of the car = V = 42 m/s

Reaction time = t = 0.8 s

Distance traveled by the police car during the reaction time = d₁= 0.8 x 18 = 14.4 m

Distance traveled by speeding car = d₂ =0.8 x 42 = 33.6 m

Acceleration of the police car = a = 5 m/s/s

The police car can catch the speeding car only if it travels a distance equal to the speeding car in a time t.

Distance traveled by the police car = D = d₁ + v t +0.5 at², according to the kinematic equation.

⇒ D = 14.4 + 18 t + 0.5 (5) t²

⇒ D = 14.4 + 18 t+2.5 t²  → (1)

For the speeding car, distance traveled is D = 33.6 + 42 t, since it is constant velocity. Substitute for D from the above equation (1).

⇒ 14.4 + 18 t+2.5 t²=  33.6 + 42 t

⇒ 2.5 t² -24 t - 19.2 = 0

⇒ t = 10.3 s

Total time = t +0.8 s

⇒ Time taken for the police car to reach the speeding car = 10.3+0.8= 11.1 s

Help with these three
Elenna [48]
The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
g = 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }
let's do it for this case:
f_{g}  = m \times g \\ f _{g}  = 65kg \times 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  = 637.65
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
f = m \times a \\ f = 65 \times 5 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  \\ f = 325n
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere

The process of how rocks can tell us how old the earth is
Ludmilka [50]
The Earth is a constantly changing planet. Its crust is continually being created, modified, and destroyed. As a result, rocks that record its earliest history have not been found and probably no longer exist. Nevertheless, there is substantial evidence that the Earth and the other bodies of the Solar System are 4.5-4.6 billion years old, and that the Milky Way Galaxy and the Universe are older still. The principal evidence for the antiquity of Earth and its cosmic surroundings is:The oldest rocks on Earth, found in western Greenland, have been dated by four independent radiometric dating methods at 3.7-3.8 billion years. Rocks 3.4-3.6 billion years in age have been found in southern Africa, western Australia, and the Great Lakes region of North America. These oldest rocks are metamorphic rocks but they originated as lava flows and sedimentary rocks. The debris from which the sedimentary rocks formed must have come from even older crustal rocks. The oldest dated minerals (4.0-4.2 billion years) are tiny zircon crystals found in sedimentary rocks in western Australia.
The oldest Moon rocks are from the lunar highlands and were formed when the early lunar crust was partially or entirely molten. These rocks, of which only a few were returned by the Apollo missions, have been dated by two methods at between 4.4-4.5 billion years in age. 
The majority of the 70 well-dated meteorites have ages of 4.4-4.6 billion years. These meteorites, which are fragments of asteroids and represent some of the most primitive material in the solar system, have been dated by 5 independent radiometric dating methods. 
The "best" age for the Earth is based on the time required for the lead isotopes in four very old lead ores (galena) to have evolved from the composition of lead at the time the Solar System formed, as recorded in the Canyon Diablo iron meteorite. This "model lead age" is 4.54 billion years. 
The evidence for the antiquity of the Earth and Solar System is consistent with evidence for an even greater age for the Universe and Milky Way Galaxy. a) The age of the Universe can be estimated from the velocity and distance of galaxies as the universe expands. The estimates range from 7 to 20 billion years, depending on whether the expansion is constant or is slowing due to gravitational attraction. b) The age of the Galaxy is estimated to be 14-18 billion years from the rate of evolution of stars in globular clusters, which are thought to be the oldest stars in the Galaxy. The age of the elements in the Galaxy, based on the production ratios of osmium isotopes in supernovae and the change in that ratio over time due to radioactive decay, is 8.6-15.7 billion years. Theoretical considerations indicate that the Galaxy formed within a billion years of the beginning of the Universe. c) Combining the data from a) and b), the "best, i.e., most consistent, age of the universe is estimated to be around 14 billion years. For more current information on the age of the universe.

Which statement describes the distribution of charge in an atom? (1) A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more n
pantera1 [17]

Answer: option B

Explanation: when a neutral atom loses an electron or gains a positive charge electron, it becomes a positive ion (positively charged) and when an neutral atom gains an electronic charge or losses a positive charge electron, it becomes a negative ion (negatively charged).

Testing shows that a sample of wood from an artifact contains 25% of the
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The artifact is 11,460 years old.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730  years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.

So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half

Initially there will be 100% of the sample so

after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent

Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.

after next 5730 years  the sample reduces into 25% percent

So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%

That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
