Why don't you feel the pressure exerted by the atmosphere?

Answer:

the air within our bodies (in our lungs and stomachs, for example) is exerting the same pressure outwards so there's no pressure difference and no need for us to exert any effort.

Because in our body blood also exerts pressure that's why we don't feel atmospheric pressure.

A stationary police car emits a sound of frequency 1240 HzHz that bounces off of a car on the highway and returns with a frequen

lara [203]

Answer:

frequency = 1475.45 Hz

Explanation:

given data

frequency f1 = 1215 Hz,

frequency f2 = 1265 Hz

police car moving vp = 25.0 m/s

solution

speed of sound u = 343 m / s

speed of the other car = v

when the police car is stationary

the frequency the other car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+v}{u}$ ................1

and

the frequency the police car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u}{u-v}$ ..................2

now from equation 1 and 2

$\frac{f2}{f1} = \dfrac{u+v}{u-v}$

$\frac{1275}{1240} = \frac{u+v}{u-v}$

$v =\frac{1275-1240}{1275+1240}\times 343$

v = 4.77 m/s

and

frequency the other car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+v}{u-vp}$ ......................3

and

the frequency the police car receives is

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{u+vp}{u - v}$ .......................4

now we get

f2 = f1 × $\dfrac{(u+v)(u + vp)}{(u-v)(u-vp)}$

f2 = $1240\times \frac{(343+4.77)(343+25)}{(343-4.77)(343-25)}$

f2 = 1475.45 Hz

If you are driving 128.4 km/h along a straight road and you look down for 3.0s, how far do you travel during this inattentive pe

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

107 m

Explanation:

Convert km/h to m/s:

128.4 km/h × (1000 m / km) × (1 h / 3600 s) = 35.67 m/s

Distance = rate × time

d = 35.67 m/s × 3.0 s

d = 107 m

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water, but its index of refraction is 1.47, higher than that of water. When

kupik [55]

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given $n_{canola}= 1.47$

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water $n_{water}=1.33$

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

$sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}$

now putting values we get

$sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}$

c= $sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )$

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Find the uniform acceleration that causes a car's velocity to change from 20.0 m/s to 105 m/s in and 12.0 s

Sauron [17]

Answer:

7.08 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 20.0 m/s

v = 105 m/s

t = 12.0 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

105 m/s = a (12.0 s) + 20.0 m/s

a = 7.08 m/s²
