I'm probably going to have to say C. E as it seems the steepest right around there. If I'm wrong on that, it has to be B. B

Answer:

The velocity is greatest at B.

Explanation:

The velocity or instantaneous rate of change is represented on a sketch by the slope of the position curve at a point.

Analyzing the points.

The slope at points F or D have slope as 0, since we have flat tangent lines for them.

The slope for point E is negative, since the curve is decreasing.

The slope for point B is positive, since the curve is increasing at B.

Thus the greatest value of the velocity is point B due the curve is increasing at that point, and the velocity is represented by its slope.

It's a simple machine, consisting of a rigid bar that rotates about a fixed point which is known as "Fulcrum" (most important part), It <span>affects the effort, or force and do the amount of work

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte

Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 ${\rm m}$ . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t

blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x $10^{8}$ m/s)

f= 3 x $10^{8}$ / 2.4

f=1.25 x $10^{8}$ hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x $10^{8}$

T= 8 x $10^{-9}$ s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x $10^{-9}$ => 800 x $10^{-9}$ s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

$x_{min}$ = τc/2 => (800 x $10^{-9}$ x 3 x $10^{8}$ )/2

$x_{min}$ =120m

Question is down below

rosijanka [135]

The vertical components of velocity is 10.35 m/s and the horizontal component of velocity is 38.6 m/s

<h3>What are the components of velocity?</h3>

We know that velocity is a vector quantity, a vector often can be resolved into its components. The vertical components is V sinθ while the horizontal component is vcosθ.

Hence;

Vertical component = 40 m/s sin 15 degrees = 10.35 m/s

Horizontal component = 40 cos 15 degrees = 38.6 m/s
