A water gun fires 5 squirts per second. The speed of the squirts is 15 m/s.

Answer: 3.75 m

Explanation:

5 squirts in 1 second

So, 1 squirt in 1/5 second which is 0.2 second.

The difference in timing of two consecutive squirt is 0.2 second, so

time (t) = 0.2 s.

speed (s) = 15 m/s

Distance of separation (d) = ?

Now, formula for distance is

d = s × t

d = 15 × 0.2

d = 3.75 m

If a rock falls from a cliff, at what point are its kinetic energy and its potential energy the same? Ignore air resistance.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy it had from being above the ground is converted to kinetic energy as the rock falls. As kinetic energy increases, the velocity of the rock will also increase.

Car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v0. At t=0 the car driver not

musickatia [10]

Answer:

Part A: $t = v_0/a_0$

Part B: $t = v_0/a_0$

Part C: $v_0^2/a_0$

Explanation:

Part A:

We will use the following kinematics equation:

$v = v_0 + at\\0 = v_0 - a_0t\\t = \frac{v_0}{a_0}$

Part B:

We will use the same kinematics equation:

$v = v_0 + at\\v_0 = 0 + a_0t\\t = \frac{v_0}{a_0}$

Part C:

The total time takes is 2t.

So the train moves a distance of

$x = v_0(2t) = 2v_0(\frac{v_0}{a_0}) = \frac{2v_0^2}{a_0}$

And the car moves a distance in Part A and in Part B:

$d_A = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = v_0(\frac{v_0}{a_0}) - \frac{1}{2}a_0(\frac{v_0^2}{a_0^2}) = \frac{v_0^2}{a_0} - \frac{v_0^2}{2a_0} = \frac{v_0^2}{2a_0}\\d_B = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}a_0(\frac{v_0^2}{a_0^2}) = \frac{v_0^2}{2a_0}$

So the total distance that the car traveled is $d = \frac{v_0^2}{a_0}$

The difference between the train and the car is

$x - d = \frac{2v_0^2}{a_0} - \frac{v_0^2}{a_0} = \frac{v_0^2}{a_0}$

Do magnets have to touch each other in order to experience a magnetic<br> force? Explain

tiny-mole [99]

Magnets don’t need to touch each other in order to be magnetic because all objects have an attraction however, the closer the magnets get, the more magnetic it is.
