A police car in a high-speed chase is traveling north on a two-lane highway at 35.0 m/s. In the southbound lane of the same high

way, an SUV is moving at 18.0 m/s. Take the positive x-direction to be toward the north. Find the x-velocity of the police car relative to the SUV.

Answer:

53 m/s

Explanation:

Since we take the positive x-direction to be toward the north, an SUV travelling to the south would have a negative velocity, -18m/s, relative to Earth. Velocity of Earth relative to the SUV would be 18m/s. And velocity of police car relative to Earth would be positive, 35 m/s.

Velocity of police relative to SUV would equal to velocity of police car relative to Earth plus velocity of Earth relative to SUV

= 35 + 18 = 53 m/s

There are four springs stretched by the same mass.
brilliants [131]

Spring C stretches 100 cm.

Explanation:

The spring constant is simply the stiffness of the spring. The higher the spring constant the more stiff the spring is.

Spring constant shows the force needed to stretch a spring from it's equilibrium position. If a material requires more force to cause it to stretch, it will have a high spring constant.

          According to hooke's law "the force needed to extended an elastic material is directly proportional to its extension"

          F = ke

   k is the spring constant

   e is the extension

We see that the spring that stretches by 100 is the less stiff compared to other springs. It has the smallest spring constant.

) Water falls from a height of 60m at the rate of 15kg/s to operate a turbine. The losses due to frictional force are 10% of ene
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

8100W

Explanation:

Let g = 10m/s2

As water is falling from 60m high, its potential energy from 60m high would convert to power. So the rate of change in potential energy is

P = \dot{E} = \dot{m}gh = 15*10*60 = 9000 J/s or 9000W

Since 10% of this is lost to friction, we take the remaining 90 %

P = 9000*90% = 8100 W

A perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is not possible to eliminate
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

D. Friction

Explanation:

Friction is a force that opposes motion. So a perpetual motion machine can never be built because it is impossible to eliminate frictional force. It can only be reduced
