This question may require more information for an accurate answer. If the clouds are observed west of the city and they are moving in a westerly direction it means that the clouds are moving away. Precipitation refers to rainfall, sleet, hail or snow. Since no reference was made to the temperature, season or location of the city it could be rain or snow clouds. The clouds are moving away from the city so the possible answers could be b. or d. Furthermore, by dividing the distance by the speed one would get an answer of twenty four hours. So even if the clouds were moving towards the city it would take a day to reach and precipitation would not be likely in 24 hrs.

A jet plane lands with a speed of 100 m/s and can
kiruha [24]

Answer:

a) t = 20 [s]

b) Can't land

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use kinematics equations, it is of great importance to note that when the plane lands it slows down until it reaches rest, ie the final speed will be zero.

a)

v_{f}=v_{i}-(a*t)

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 100 [m/s]

a = desacceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the equation means that the aircraft slows down as it stops.

0 = 100 - 5*t

5*t = 100

t = 20 [s]

b)

Now we can find the distance using the following kinematics equation.

x -x_{o}=(v_{o}*t)+\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2}

x - xo = distance [m]

x -xo = (0*20) + (0.5*5*20^2)

x - xo =  1000 [m]

1000 [m] = 1 [km]

And the runaway is 0.8 [km], therefore the jetplane needs 1 [km] to land. So the jetpalne can't land

Which statements accurately describe the Doppler effect? Select three options.
Katena32 [7]

Answer:The answer is A,B and C

Explanation: it can be use to learn universe behavior,it is also use for the measurements of velocity of galaxy,and is can also be use to indicate,galaxy motion.

Doppler effect,measures the speed which star and galaxy are moving away from us or towards us. It shows the color of wavelength to be either red shift or blue shift.

1500 kg Peugeot car is traveling at 16.67 m s ⁻¹ and accelerates to 30.56 m s ⁻¹ for 2 minutes. Calculate the impulse of the car
Elis [28]

Answer:

2084 kg*m/s

Explanation:

Impulse is change in momentum

Mathematically;

Impulse, J= F*t=mΔv   where

F= ma = 1500 * { 30.56 - 16.67}/2*60

F= 1500 *0.11575

F=  174 N

J=F*t

J= 174*120*0.1

J= 2084 kg*m/s
