A speeding car is travelling at a constant 30.0 m/s when it passes a stationary police car. If the police car delays for 1.00 s

before starting, what must be the magnitude of the constant acceleration of the police car to catch the speeding car after the police car travels a distance of 300 m?
(A) 6.00 m/s2
(B) 3.00 m/s2
(C) 7.41 m/s2
(D) 1.45 m/s2
(E) 3.70 m/s2

Answer:

option (C)

Explanation:

Speed of car = 30 m/s

Let the time taken by the police car to catch the speeding car is t

The distance traveled by the speeding car in t + 1 second is equal to the distance traveled by the police car in time t

Distance traveled by the police car in time t

s=ut + 0.5 at^{2}    .... (1)

Distance traveled by the speeding car in t + 1 second

s = 30 (t + 1) = 300

t + 1 = 10

t = 9 s

Put the value of t in equation (1), we get

300 = 0 + 0.5 x a x 9 x 9

a = 7.41 m/s^2

An 89.2-kg person with a density 1025 kg/m3 stands on a scale while completely submerged in water. What does the scale read?
Luden [163]

Answer:

89.11kg

Explanation:

Note an object weighs less when in a fluid and the weight of the volume of the fluid displaced is known as the upthrust.

Now, the person is going to displace the volume 89/1025 =0.087m3 { from density D = mass(M)/volume(V)}

The weight of the fluid displaced is the density of the fluid × volume of fluid displaced.

The weight of the fluid=0.087m3× 1kg/me = 0.087kg

Now the weight of the fluid displaced is referred to as the upthrust.

Now the real weight - the apparent weight = the upthrust.

Hence the apparent weight = real weight - upthrust

Apparent weight = 89.2-0.087 = 89.11kg

When you ride a bicycle, in what direction is the angular velocity of the wheels? When you ride a bicycle, in what direction is
Hitman42 [59]

Complete question is;

When you ride a bicycle, in what direction is the angular velocity of the wheels? A) to your left B) to your right C) forwards D) backwards

Answer:

Option A - to your left

Explanation:

While an object rotates, each particle will have a different velocity:

the 'Speed' component will vary with radius while the 'Direction' component will vary with angle.

All of the velocity vectors are aligned in the same plane.

We can be solve this by choosing a single vector normal to ALL of the possible velocity vectors of the rotating object in that plane.

This convention used is known as "Right-hand rule". The angular velocity vector points along the wheel's axle. For instance, if you Imagine wrapping your right hand around the axle so that your fingers point in the direction of rotation, with your thumb sticking out. You will notice that your thumb points to the left.

Thus;

By right-hand rule, a wheel rotating on a forward - moving bicycle has an angular velocity vector pointing to the rider's left.

So, option A is the correct answer

Why is a protective apron or lab coat important to use when working with acids?
Oksanka [162]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Whether an acid is weak or strong it will cause harm if it comes in direct contact with the skin, eyes or mouth etc.

Thus, in order to prevent oneself, it is advised to wear a lab coat while working in laboratory as acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Hence, a lab coat acts as a protective layer on the clothes so that even if acid falls on it then it might not reach the skin immediately and on time prevention can be taken.
