A state patrol officer saw a car start from rest at a highway​ on-ramp. She radioed ahead to another officer 20 mi along the hig

hway. When the car reached the location of the second officer 19 min​ later, it was clocked going 60​ mi/hr. The driver of the car was given a ticket for exceeding the 60​ mi/hr speed limit. Why can the officer conclude that the driver exceeded the speed​ limit?

Answer:

We know from the basic speed distance relation that

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Since the car started from rest and it covered the distance between the 2 officer's in 19 minutes we have speed of the car

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}\\\\Speed=\frac{20}{\frac{19}{60}}=63.16mph

Which clearly exceeds the limit of 60\frac{mi}{hr}

During which phase of the moon do neap tides occur?
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

First Quarter and Third Quarter.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the Moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variates with the distance:

F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}} (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance between them.

For example, seeing the image below, point A is closer to the Moon than point b, and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the Moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

When the Sun and the Moon are alight with respect to the Earth, then the Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the Moon over the Earth. That makes the high tides even higher (spring tides).

               

However, when the Sun is not in the same line than the Moon (the Moon is at 90° with respect to the Sun), then the low tides are higher and the high tides are lower. That scenario is known as neap tides.

           

Therefore, that happens when the Moon is at First Quarter and Third Quarter.

The presence of a uniform magnetic field may be detected by using a
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Magnetic compass

Explanation:

A magnetic field is a field that describes the magnetic effect of electric charges in a relative motion.

Magnetic field allows magnets to interact without contact. The principle involved in the function of the compass is that a magnetic field exerts a force on any moving charge and can be measured and detected by this effect.

An empty truck traveling at 10 km/h has kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does it have when loaded so that its mass and it
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

8 time increase in K.E.

Explanation:

Consider Mass of truck = m kg and speed = v m/s then

K.E. = 1/2 ×mv²

If mass and speed both are doubled i.e let m₀ = 2m and v₀ = 2v then

(K.E.)₀ =  1/2 ×2m(2v)²

(K.E.)₀ = 8 (1/2 × mv²) = 8 × K.E.

Consider an e. coli to be a cylinder with a diameter of 1 micrometer (um) and with a length of 2 micrometer (um).
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

A=6.28\ \mu m^2

Part 1

V=1.57 \ \mu m^3

Part 2

A=6.28\ \mu m^2

Explanation:

Given that

Diameter,d=1 μm

Length ,l=2 μm

As we know that volume of cylinder given as

V=\pi r^2l

V=\pi \times 0.5^2\times 2 \ \mu m^3

V=1.57 \ \mu m^3

Surface area,A

A=π d l

A=\pi \times 1 \times 2\ \mu m^2

A=6.28\ \mu m^2

Part 1

V=1.57 \ \mu m^3

Part 2

A=6.28\ \mu m^2
