Answer:

30.93 m/s

Explanation:

Given that, the speed of stolen car is,

v_{s} =108km/hr\\v_{s} =108\times \frac{5}{18}m/s\\ v_{s} =30m/s

As policeman start chasing the stolen car after 60 seconds.

Now suppose the speed of policeman car is, v_{p}

The policeman catches the stolen car at a distance of,

S=60km\\S=60000m

Now the distance covered by the policeman in time t is v_{p}\times t

And the distane cover by the thief in stolen car in time(t+60s) is v_{s}\times (t+60sec).

And these distances are equal and they are equal to 60000 m.

Therefore,

v_{p}\times t=v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m

Therfore,

v_{s}\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\30m/s\times (t+60sec)=60000m\\(t+60s)=2000s\\t=1940s

Now use this value to solve for minimum speed of policeman's car.

v_{p}\times 1940=60000\\v_{p}=30.93 m/s

Therefore minimum speed of policeman's car is 30.93 m/s.

What is a major contributor of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere?
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

a. burning of fossil fuel

Explanation:

Greenhouse effect is the trapping of the sun infrared rays in the outermost layer of the earths atmosphere due to the accumulation of some harmful gasses. This gases depletes the ozone layer

The major contributor of greenhouse gases is the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon dioxides are released into the atmosphere and leads to global warming and climatic changes per time

Two charges are located in the xx–yy plane. If q1=−4.10 nCq1=−4.10 nC and is located at (x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)(x=0.00 m,y=1.080 m)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Due to first charge , electric field at origin will be oriented towards - ve of y axis.

magnitude

Ey = -8.99 x 10⁹ x 4.1 x 10⁻⁹ / 1.08² j

= - 31.6 j N/C

Due to second charge electric field at origin

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6  x 10⁻⁹ / 1.2²+ .6²

= 8.99 x 10⁹ x 3.6  x 10⁻⁹ / 1.8

= 18 N/C

It is making angle θ where

Tanθ = .6 / 1.2

= 26.55°

this field in vector form

= - 18 cos 26.55 i - 18 sin26.55 j

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j

Total field

= - 16.10 i - 8.04 j + ( - 31.6 j )

= -16.1 i - 39.64 j .

Ex = - 16.1 i

Ey = - 39.64 j .
