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.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

\Delta P = 98.07\,Pa

Explanation:

The difference between top and bottom surfaces is computed by the following hydrostatic equivalence:

\Delta P = \rho_{w}\cdot g \cdot \Delta h

\Delta P = \left(1000\,\frac{kg}{m^{3}} \right)\cdot \left(9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (0.01\,m)

\Delta P = 98.07\,Pa

A friend claims that throwing a baseball up towards the school roof illustrates gravitational potential energy transforming into
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The Statement is wrong because the reverse is the case as it is the  kinetic energy that is being transformed to gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

As your friend throws  the baseball into the air the ball gains an initial velocity (u) and this makes the Kinetic energy to be equal to

                    KE = \frac{1}{2} mu^2

Here  m is the mass of the baseball

       Now as this ball moves further upward the that velocity it gained reduce due to the gravitational force and this in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the ball and this kinetic energy lost is being converted to gravitational potential energy which is mathematically represented as (m×g×h)

as energy can not be destroyed but converted to a different form according to the first law of thermodynamics

Looking a the formula for gravitational potential energy we see that the higher the ball goes the grater the gravitational potential energy.

What observations can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Geology is the study of the Earth that involves the process at Earth, materials of which it is made, and its history.

<u>Geologists combine both laboratory and field data to illustrate the results of their research. Some observations that can the geologist make by working outdoors instead of in a lab are as follows:</u>

  • Understanding and exploring the earth's surface closely using geophysical tools.
  • Collecting samples by own and make some interpretations at the same time.
  • Observation of the  landscapes
  • Close observation of outcrops
