You’re speeding at 85 km/hr when you notice that you’re only 10 m behind the car in front of you,

Your position in meters will, measured relative to the starting point of the car behind you, be 
x1(t) = 10 + 23.61 t - 1/2 4.2 t^2 
his position will be 
x2(t) = 16.67 t 
Hence at any time the separation s(t) will be 
s(t) = x1(t) - x2(t) = 10 + 6.94 t -2.1 t^2 
Now I assume you mean that you will decelerate UNTIl you are driving at the legal speed limit (60 km/h). That will take you: 
16.67 m/s = 23.61m/s - 4.2 m/s^2 * t 
t = 1.65 seconds 
What is the separation at that time? If it is still greater than zero, there will be no collision: 
s(1.65) = 10 + 6.94 *1.65 -2.1 (1.65)^2 = 15.73 meters. 
Hence you will NOT collide. The 1.65 s you calculated was the time needed to brake to the speed of 60 km/h.

How could you test the hypothesis that elephants interpreted the ground signal as being farther away than the air signal?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

Explanation:

This hypothesis is based on the fact that the speed of sound in air is v = 343 m / s with a small variation with temperature.

The speed of sound in solid soil is an average of the speed of its constituent media, giving values ​​between

 wood      3900 m / s

 concrete 4000 m / s

 fabrics     1540 m / s

 earth       5000 m / s wave S

 ground    7000 m / s P wave

 

we can see that the speed on solid earth is an order of magnitude greater than in air.

One way to test the hypothesis is to create two waves, one in the air and one on the ground at the same time. One of them for the elephant to get closer and another for the elephants to move away. Observe the reaction of the animal and with this we know which sound came first.

From the initial information, the wave going through the ground should arrive first.

A 200-gram liquid sample of Alcohol Y is prepared at -6°C. The sample is then added to 400 g of water at 20°C in a sealed styrof
Vinil7 [7]

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol will be 3.72  kJ/kg°C.

<h3>What is the specific heat capacity?</h3>

The amount of heat required to increase a substance's temperature by one degree Celsius is known as its "specific heat capacity."

Similarly, heat capacity is the relationship between the amount of energy delivered to a substance and the increase in temperature that results.

Given data;

Mass of liquid sample of Alcohol  m₁ = 200-gram

The temperature of alcohol, T₁ =  -6°C.

Mass of liquid sample of water  m₂ = 400-gram

The temperature of the water, T₂=  20°C.

The specific heat capacity of the alcohol, S₁=?

The specific heat capacity of water is, S₂=4.19 kJ/kg.°C

As we know that;

<h3 />

\rm Q_{gain}= Q{loss} \\\\ Q_{alcohol} =Q_{water} \\\\\ m_1s_1\triangle T_1 = m_2S_2 \triangle S_2 \\\\ 200 \times 10^{-3} \times S_1 [ (12-(-6) ] = 40 \times 10^{-3} \times 4.19 \times 10^{-3} \times (20-12)\\\\S_1 = 2 \times 4.19 \times 10^3 \times \frac {8}{18} \\\\ S_1 = 3.72  \ kJ /kg ^0 C

Hence the specific heat capacity of the alcohol will be 3.72  kJ/kg°C.

Help!!! I need it today <br> Thank you in advance

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

What is pressure in physics ​
harkovskaia [24]
Pressure is the force per unit area. This means that the pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newton’s divided by its area in square metres
