Answer:

Their rhythmic marching might resonate through the bridge and start the bridge swaying.

At a definite point, the bridge would begin oscillating to the matching rhythm as that of the marching footsteps. This oscillation would touch a determined peak when the bridge can no longer tolerate its own power and later collapses. So, soldiers are systematic to break their steps while passing a bridge.

What determines how the plates interact at their boundaries
swat32

Answer:

Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

Explanation:

Meaning the answer to your question is depending on what type of tectonic plate interaction is occurring will depend on how the plates interact.

A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i
Ket [755]

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the final velocity after collision. Here, V = 0 as both players comes to rest after collision.

v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=-\dfrac{88\ kg\times 2\ m/s}{120\ kg}

v_2=-1.47\ m/s

So, the speed of another player is 1.47 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Consider an oblique shock wave with a wave angle of 35 o . Upstream of the wave, the static pressure and temperature are 2,000 l
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The pressure is 6570  lbf/ft²

The temperature is 766 ⁰R

The velocity is 2746.7 ft/s

deflection angle behind the wave is 17.56⁰

Explanation:

Speed of air at initial condition:

a_1 = \sqrt{\gamma RT } =  \sqrt{1.4* 1716*520 } = 1117.70 \ ft/s

γ is the ratio of specific heat, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the initial temperature.

initial mach number

M_1 = \frac{v_1}{a_1} = \frac{3355}{1117.7}  = 3

then, M_n = M_1sin \beta = 3sin(35) = 1.721

based on the values obtained, read off the following from table;

P₂/P₁ = 3.285

T₂/T₁ = 1.473

Mₙ₂ = 0.6355

Thus;

P₂ = 3.285P₁ = 3.285(2000) = 6570  lbf/ft²

T₂ = 1.473T₁ = 1.473(520⁰R) = 766 ⁰R

Again; to determine the velocity and deflection angle, first we calculate the mach number.

M_t_1 = M_1cos \beta = 3 cos(35) = 2.458

w_2 = a_1M_t_1 = 2.458(1117.70) = 2746.7 \ ft/s

a_2 = \sqrt{\gamma RT_2} = \sqrt{1.4*1718*766} = 1357.34 \ ft/s

v_2 = a_2M_n_2 = 1357.34(0.6355) = 862.59 \ ft/s

Tan(\beta -\theta) = \frac{v_2}{w_2} = \frac{862.59}{2746.7}  \\\\Tan(\beta -\theta) = 0.314\\\\\beta -\theta= 17.44\\\\\theta = \beta - 17.44 = 17.56^o

You should increase the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead when you:
ELEN [110]
<span>You should increase the distance between your car and the vehicle ahead when you are being tailgated by another driver.
Tailgated is a condition when the vehicle behind you is very close to you that there is no distance between your vehicle and the vehicle behind you. In that case you should increase distance from the vehicle ahead to avoid collision in any case. These days people were mostly in hurry and everyone want to go ahead, so tailgating is very common.</span>
