The answer is B.

This is because both cars are moving at the same speed, but have different velocities due to the different directions they are moving in.

Answer: The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Speed is the scalar quantity. It has magnitude only. For example, the car is moving with the speed of 60 km per hour.

The velocity is the vector quantity. It has magnitude as well as direction.

For example, the car is moving with the velocity of 60 km per hour in the north direction.

In the given problem, the speedometer of a car moving to the east reads 55 mph. It passes another car that moves to the west at 55 mph.

In this case, the speed is same which is equal to 55 mph but the velocities are different as the directions of the cars are different. The velocities of the cars are 55 mph to the east direction and 55 mph to the west direction.

Therefore, the cars have the same speed.

A 400.0 kg storage box is held 10 m above ground by a forklift. What is its gravitational potential energy? (PE = mgh)
castortr0y [4]

Answer: D.) 39,200 J

Via the equation of potential energy PE = mgh where m is mass, g is the average gravity on earth and h is the height.  In this case m = 400 kg, g = 9.8, h = 10 m thus:

P.E.=(400kg)(9.8\frac{m}{s^2} )(10m)=39,200 J

P.E.= 39,200 Joules

A 13,000 kg helicopter accelerates upward a 0.5 m/s^2 while lifting a 2000 pound car. to the nearest newton, what is the lift fo
Vinil7 [7]

Lift force exerted by the air on the rotors=143244 N

Explanation:

we use Newtons second law

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F= lift force

m= mass of helicopter= 13000 Kg

M= mass of car= 2000 lb=907.2 kg

a= acceleration= 0.5 m/s²

g= acceleration due to gravity

F- (M+m)g=(M+m)a

F=(M+m)(a+g)

F=(13000+907.2)(0.5+9.8)

F=143244 N

What are the differences between the practical and the ideal pendulum​
ankoles [38]

lf a heavy point mass is suspended by a weightless, inextensible and perfectly flexible string from a rigid support, then this arrangement is called simple pendulum.

In practice, however, these requirements cannot be fulfilled. So we use a practical pendulum.

A practical pendulum consists of a small metallic solid sphere suspended by a fine silk thread from a rigid support. This is the practical simple pendulum which is nearest to the ideal simple pendulum.

Note :

The metallic sphere is called the bob.

When the bob is displaced slightly to one side from its mean position and released, it oscillates about its mean position in a vertical plane.

How does the ocean influence climate?
Mazyrski [523]
<span>Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.</span>

You push on a cart (18.0kg) at a 30 degree below horizontal angle. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the chair and the
podryga [215]

Given that force is applied at an angle of 30 degree below the horizontal

So let say force applied if F

now its two components are given as

F_x = Fcos30


F_y = Fsin30


Now the normal force on the block is given as

N = Fsin30 + mg

N = 0.5F + (18\times 9.8)

N = 0.5F + 176.4

now the friction force on the cart is given as

F_f = \mu N

F_f = 0.625(0.5F + 176.4)

F_f = 110.25 + 0.3125F

now if cart moves with constant speed then net force on cart must be zero

so now we have

F_f + F_x = 0

Fcos30 - (110.25 + 0.3125F) = 0

0.866F - 0.3125F = 110.25

F = 199.2 N

so the force must be 199.2 N
