Kinetic energy<span> increases with the square of the velocity (KE=1/2*m*v^2). If the velocity is doubled, the KE quadruples. Therefore, the </span>stopping distance<span> should increase by a factor of four, assuming that the driver is </span>can<span> apply the brakes with sufficient precision to almost lock the brakes.</span>

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed
olasank [31]

Answer:

Average acceleration is (11.05)g\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 6.5 km/s = 6500 m/s

Time taken, t = 60 s

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{v}{t}  

a=\dfrac{6500\ m/s}{60}  

a=108.33\ m/s^2

Since, g=9.8\ m/s^2

So, a=(11.05)g\ m/s^2

So, the angular acceleration of the missile is (11.05)g\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

A circuit is constructed with six resistors and two batteries as shown. the battery voltages are v1 = 18 v and v2 = 12 v. the po
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

V4=9.197v

Explanation:

Given:

V1= 18v ,V2= 12v ,r1=r5=58ohms ,r2=r6=124ohms , r3=47ohms ,r4= 125ohms

V4= I4R4 = V2/(R4 + R5)×R4

V4= 12×125 /(125 + 58)

V4=1500/183 =9.197v

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.
