Answer:

a = 2.84 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

Net force, F = 2500 N

Mass of the car, m = 880 kg

We need to find the acceleration of the car. Net force is given by :

F = ma

$a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{2500\ N}{880\ m/s^2}\\\\a=2.84\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the car is 2.84 m/s².

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun

vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface

B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun

C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere

D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

Multiple-Concept Example 7 and Interactive LearningWare 26.1 provide some helpful background for this problem. The drawing shows

Vlada [557]

Answer:

n = 1.4266

Explanation:

Given that:

refractive index of crystalline slab n = 1.665

let refractive index of fluid is n.

angle of incidence θ₁ = 37.0°

Critical angle $\theta _c = sin^{-1} (\frac{n}{n_{slab}} )$

$sin \theta _ c =\frac{n}{n_{slab}}$

According to Snell's law of refraction:

$n sin \theta _1 = n_{slab} \ sin \ (90- \theta_c)$

At point P ; $90 - \theta _2 \leq \theta _c$

$\theta _2 = 90 - \theta _c$

Therefore:

$n \ sin \theta_1 = n_{slab} \sqrt{(1-sin^2 \theta _c)} \\ \\ n \ sin \theta_1 = n_{slab} \sqrt{(1- \frac{n}{n_{slab}} )}$

Then maximum value of refractive index n of the fluid is:

$n = \frac{n_{slab}}{\sqrt{1+ sin^2 \theta _1 } }$

$n = \frac{1.665}{\sqrt{1+ sin^2 \ 37} }$

n = 1.4266

A girl drops a stone from the top a tower 45m tall. At the same time, a boy standing at the base of the tower, projects another

Advocard [28]

Answer:

(i) The stones meet at 1.8 second

(ii) The point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.

Explanation:

(i)

First we consider the stone dropped by the girl. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 0 m/s (Since the stone was initially at rest)

t = Time Period

g = 10 m/s²

s₁ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₁ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₁ = (0)(t) + (0.5)(10)t²

s₁ = 5t² ----- equation (1)

Now, we consider the stone throne vertically upward by the boy. We have data:

Vi = Initial Velocity of Stone = 25 m/s

t = Time Period

g = - 10 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)

s₂ = Distance Covered by Stone

Using 2nd equation of motion, we get:

s₂ = Vi t + (0.5)gt²

s₂ = (25)(t) + (0.5)(-10)t²

s₂ = 25t - 5t² ----- equation (2)

At, the point where both the stones meet, the sum of distances covered by both stones must be equal to the height of building (i.e 45 m).

s₁ + s₂ = 45

using values from equation (1) and equation (2)

5t² + 25t - 5t² = 45

25t = 45

t = 45/25

t = 1.8 sec

(ii)

using this value of of t in equation (2)

s₂ = (25)(1.8) - (5)(1.8)²

s₂ = 28.8 m

using this value of of t in equation (1)

s₁ = (5)(1.8)²

s₁ = 16.2 m

Hence, the point at which the stones meet, is 28.8 m above the base of the building and 16.2 m below the top of the building.
