The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. the car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.9

0 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 62.3 m long, all the way to the tree. with what speed does the car then strike the tree?

Let u =  the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.

The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.

Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
      u = 27.2546 m/s

Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
   = 2.7696 m/s

Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)

1. Si comprimes un globo hasta reducir su volumen a un tercio de su valor original, ¿cuánto aumenta la presión en su interior?
harina [27]

Answer:

See step by step sexplanation

Explanation:

1.-Sabemos que la relación:

P₁ * V₁  = P₂ * V₂

Para una temperatura constante debe mantenerse entonces si el globo se comprime hasta llevarlo a 1/3 de su valor inicial, entonces necesariamente para cumplir con la relación mencionada, la presión aumenta tres veces su valor original

2.-La definición de presión es fuerza por unidad de superficie, entonces la fuerza es determinada por la altura de la columna de liquido en el recipiente y no por la cantidad total de liquido, de acuerdo a esto habrá más presión en la base del florero, ya que la columna de agua tiene más altura.

3.-No se puede estar de acuerdo con el criterio del plomero. En su solución no plantea el aumento de la altura del tanque,  para el logro del aumento de la presión que es realmente lo que hay que hacer

Two cars collide and come to a complete stop. where did all of their energy go?
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
Most of the energy will be absorbed by the materials that make up the cars, causing them to deform. The energy will also be converted into sound energy, causing a loud bang upon collision. Also, some energy will be converted to thermal energy, which will cause the cars to heat up slightly.

Describe the evolution of a pulsar over time, in particular how the rotation and pulse signal changes over time.
madam [21]

Answer:

As beams of particles and their associated energy are given off, the pulsar will lose energy slowly, which will decrease the rate of its rotation. The frequency of pulses would therefore decrease, so that fewer pulses are observed in a given time span. The strength of the pulse signal will also decrease so the pulses will become fainter. Eventually, the pulsar should rotate so slowly and have such a low emission of radiation that it would no longer be observable.
