Answer:

Distance, d = 61.13 ft

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 50 mi/h = 73.34 ft/s

Finally, it stops i.e. v = 0

Deceleration of the car, $a=-44\ ft/s^2$

We need to find the distance covered before the car comes to a stop. Let the distance is s. It can be calculated using third law of motion as :

$v^2-u^2=2as$

$s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}$

$s=\dfrac{0-(73.34\ ft/s)^2}{2\times -44\ ft/s^2}$

s = 61.13 ft

So, the distance covered by the car before it comes to rest is 61.13 ft. Hence, this is the required solution.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

100.11 m

Explanation:

Given:

Coefficient of volume expansion, $\alpha_{v}=33\times10^{-6}$ /°C.

Initial length of rod, $l=100 m$

Change in temperature, ΔT= $(90-(-10))=100$ °C

We know that,

$\alpha_{v}=3\alpha_{L}\\\alpha_{L}=\frac{\alpha_{v}}{3}\\\alpha_{L}=\frac{33\times10^{-6}}{3}=11\times10^{-6}$ /°C

Here, $\alpha_{L}$ is the coefficient of linear expansion.

Now, we know that,

Change in length (Δl) is given as,

$\Delta l=\alpha_L\times L\times\Delta T$

Plug in all the values and solve for $l$ .

This gives,

$\Delta l=11\times10^{-6}\times 100\times100\\\Delta l=0.11 \textrm{ m}$

Therefore, the length of rod after expansion is $L+\Delta l=100+0.11=100.11$ m.

What factors contribute to global winds

serg [7]

Temperature and elevation, if it is cold in Idaho and warm on the eastern end of a mountain side in california (or if warm air is going in that direction) then the cold air, being more dense, will go towards california while the cold air in Idaho will become warm. Same goes for the rest of the world

Explain Resistor in parallel and series.

patriot [66]

$\sf\huge\underline\blue{Resistor:-}$

$\rightarrow$ <u>A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element</u>.

$\rightarrow$ Resistors reduce the current flow and lower voltage levels within circuits.

$\sf\large\underline\purple{Resistors \:in\: Series:-}$

$\rightarrow$ A <u>circuit is said to be connected in series</u> when the same amount of <u>current flows through the resistors</u>. In such circuits, the voltage across each resistor is different.

$\rightarrow$ In a series connection, if any resistor is broken or a fault occurs, then the entire circuit is turned off. The construction of a series circuit is simpler compared to a parallel circuit.

$\rightarrow$ For the above circuit(attached image-1), the total resistance is given as:

$\sf{R_{total}\: = \:R1 + R2 + ….. + Rn}$

The total resistance of the system is just the total of individual resistances.

$\sf\large\underline\purple{Resistors \:in\: Parallel:-}$

$\rightarrow$ A <u>circuit is said to be connected in parallel</u> when the <u>voltage is the same across the resistors</u>. In such circuits, the current is branched out and recombines when branches meet at a common point.

$\rightarrow$ A resistor or any other component can be connected or disconnected easily without affecting other elements in a parallel circuit.

$\rightarrow$ The figure(attached image -2) above shows ‘n’ number of resistors connected in parallel. The following relation gives the total resistance here

$\sf{\frac{1}{R_{total}}\: = \:\frac{1}{R1} + \frac{1}{R2} + ….. + \frac{1}{Rn}}$

$\rightarrow$ The sum of reciprocals of resistance of an individual resistor is the total reciprocal resistance of the system.

A motorcycle rides on the vertical walls around the perimeter of a large circular room. The friction coefficient between the mot

igomit [66]

Answer:

option D

Explanation:

given,

coefficient of friction between wall and tire = µ

speed of motorcycle = s

friction force = f = μ N

where normal force will be equal to centripetal force

$N = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

for motorcycle to not to slip weight should equal to the centripetal force

now,

$m g =\mu \dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

$\mu =\dfrac{rg}{s^2}$

where "rg" is constant

$\mu\ \alpha \ \dfrac{1}{s^2}$

$\mu\ \alpha \ s^{-2}$

Hence, the correct answer is option D
