Your school science club has devised a special event for homecoming. You've attached a rocket to the rear of a small car that ha

s been decorated in the blue-and-gold school colors. The rocket provides a constant acceleration for 9.0s. As the rocket shuts off, a parachute opens and slows the car at a rate of 5.0m/s2. The car passes the judges' box in the center of the grandstand, 990m from the starting line, exactly 12s after you fire the rocket. Part A What is the car's speed as it passes the judges

4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Acceleration acts for 9 s and deceleration acts for 12 - 9 = 3 s.

Total distance covered = 990 m

initial velocity u = o

Distance covered while accelerating

s₁ = 1/2 a 9² where a is the acceleration

= 40.5 a

final velocity after 9 s

v = at = 9a

while decelerating

v² = u² - 5 x s₂

0 = (9a)² - 5 s₂

s₂ = 16.2 a²

Distance covered while decelerating = 16.2 a²

s₁ + s₂ = 990

40.5 a + 16.2 a² = 990

16.2 a² + 40.5 a - 990 = 0

a = 6.5

The solar noon solar radiation values at the top of the atmosphere above maun are 1366 wm−2 on february 2 and 1074 wm−2 on augus
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

You haven't stated any numbers showing that the intensity of solar radiation at the surface is lower than at the top of the atmosphere. Your data only show that the value at the top of the atmosphere is different on different dates.

From our vast experience, however, we do know that the solar intensity at the surface IS lower than it is at the top of the atmosphere, simply because the atmosphere absorbs some solar radiation ... different amounts of it at different wavelengths.

That's the main reason, for example, why the sky is red at sunrise and sunset and blue the rest of the day, and why the temperature of the air is so much higher than 3° absolute, and why we aren't broiled by X-rays all day. Also the reason why it's worth the tremendous cost and makes such a difference to build astronomical observatories on mountain tops and in low-Earth-orbit, instead of in convenient deep valleys.

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

it cannot be considered a physical change because it occur from the chemical reaction.

Explanation:

because physical change is the change of the size,volume, density,flexibility. in other words its a change in the outer appearance or change in which we can see or feel without using a tool or a machine

hope it help just my opinion

An inclined plane has a ramp length of 4.0 meters and a height of 2.0 meters. What is the IMA of the inclined plane? 0.5 2.0 6.0
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Length of the ramp (L) = 4.0 m = Distance traveled by the effort

Height of the inclined plane (h) = 2.0 m = Distance traveled by the resistance

IMA = Ideal mechanical advantage

IMA = \frac{L}{h}

IMA = \frac{4.0}{2.0}

IMA = 2.0

Hence, the IMA of the inclined plane is 2.0
