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}

A force is applied to a block sliding along a surface (Figure 2). The magnitude of the force is 15 N, and the horizontal compone
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

Fy = 14.3 [N]

Explanation:

To be able to solve this problem we must know that the force is a vector and has magnitude and direction, therefore it can be decomposed into the force in the X & y components:

When we have the components on the horizontal and vertical axes we must use the Pythagorean theorem.

F = \sqrt{F_{x}^{2} +F_{y}^{2}  }

where:

F = 15 [N]

Fx = horizontal component = 4.5 [N]

Fy = vertical component [N]

15=\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}}\\ 15^{2}= (\sqrt{4.5^{2}+F_{y}^{2}})^{2} \\225 = 4.5^{2}+F_{y} ^{2}\\  F_{y}^{2} =225 -4.5^{2}\\ F_{y}^{2}=204.75\\F_{y}=\sqrt{204.75}\\  F_{y}=14.3 [N]

Remember to include your data, equation, and work when solving this problem.
andrezito [222]

Answer:

F = 0.00156[N]

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using Newton's proposed universal gravitation law.

F=G*\frac{m_{1} *m_{2} }{r^{2} } \\

Where:

F = gravitational force between the moon and Ellen; units [Newtos] or [N]

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1= Ellen's mass [kg]

m2= Moon's mass [kg]

r = distance from the moon to the earth [meters] or [m].

Data:

G = 6.67 * 10^-11 [N^2*m^2/(kg^2)]

m1 = 47 [kg]

m2 = 7.35 * 10^22 [kg]

r = 3.84 * 10^8 [m]

F=6.67*10^{-11} * \frac{47*7.35*10^{22} }{(3.84*10^8)^{2} }\\ F= 0.00156 [N]

This force is very small compare with the force exerted by the earth to Ellen's body. That is the reason that her body does not float away.

Relativistic velocity is of the order of _____ of velocity of light A- 1/15th of the velocity of light B-1/20th of the velocity
ratelena [41]

Answer:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light

Explanation:

We define relativistic speed (or velocity) as a speed that is a significant fraction of the speed of light: c = 3*10^8 m/s

Such that for these speeds, the special relativity theory starts to apply (the relativity effects starts to apply).

Usually, we define relativistic speeds as those that are of the order (or larger) of c/10, which is one-tenth of the speed of light.

Then the correct option is C:

Relativistic velocity is of the order of 1/10th of the velocity of light
