Answer:

d = 27.7 m

Explanation:

Here the car is driving on the inclined plane

So here we can say that work done by the gravity and work done by friction is equal to change in kinetic energy of the system

So here we can write it as

mgsin\theta \times d - F_f \times d = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 - \frac{1}{2}mv_i^2

now we have

m = 1700 kg

v_f = 0

v_i = 21 m/s

F_f = 1.5 \times 10^4 N

(1700)(9.81)sin5 (d) - (1.5\times 10^4)d = 0 - \frac{1}{2}(1700)(21^2)

1453.5 d - (1.5\times 10^4)d = -374850

d = 27.7 m

A student is wearing a pair of sunglasses designed to reduce the glare from reflected surfaces. When the student tilts her head
agasfer [191]
The answer is polarization. It is just like when you are on a boat and use polarized glasses so the water wont reflect into your eyes it also intensifies the color of the water so you can see better into the water.
example: you cant see any fish because glare from the sun, put on polarized glasses and now you can see fish up to 30 feet deep.

A 1.2 nf parallel-plate capacitor has an air gap between its plates. Its capacitance increases by 3.0 nf when the gap is filled
Damm [24]

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor filled with dielectric is given by

C=kC_0

where

k is the dielectric constant

C_0 is the capacitance of the capacitor without dielectric

In this problem,

C_0=1.2 nF is the capacitance of the capacitor in air

C=3.0 nF is the capacitance with the dielectric inserted

Solving the equation for k, we find

k=\frac{C}{C_0}=\frac{3.0 nF}{1.2 nF}=2.5

What is used as evidence for sea-floor spreading?
raketka [301]

Answer:

Sea-floor spreading occurs in the oceanic ridges. In there, volcanic activity, together with the gradual movement of the bottom, form new oceanic crust. This allows a better understanding of the continental drift explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

The greatest evidence for Sea-floor spreading is the oceanic trenches, the oceanic ridges, the magma protruding to the surface and the new seafloor.

In previous theories,  continents were assumed to be transported across the sea. Harry Hess, in the 1960s, proposed the idea that the seabed itself moves  as it expands from a central point. The theory is now accepted, and the phenomenon is thought to be caused by convection currents in the upper layer of the mantle.

A building is 512 m high. What must be the minimum water pressure in a pipe at ground level in order to get water out of a tap i
vivado [14]

Answer:

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa

Explanation:

Given:

Height of building = 512 m

Find:

Pressure

Computation:

P2 = P1+dgh

P2 = 1 + (1000)(9.8)(512)

P2 = 51.2 atm

Pressure =  5 x 10⁶ Pa
