Consider a railroad bridge over a highway. A train passing over the bridge dislodges a loose bolt from the bridge, which proceed

s to fall straight down and ends up breaking the windshield of a car passing under the bridge. The car was 27 m away from the point of impact when the bolt began to fall down; unfortunately, the driver did not notice it and proceeded at constant speed of 17 m/s. How high is the bridge? Or more precisely, how high are the railroad tracks above the windshield height? The acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of m

Answer:

12.35m

Explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must consider the following:

1. The car moves with constant speed, which means that the distance traveled is equal to the multiplication of time by speed.

X = VT

we solve the equation for time

T=\frac{x}{V} =\frac{27}{17} =1.588s

2. The bolt moves with constant acceleration, with acceleration of 9.81m / s ^ 2, so we could apply the following equation.

note=remember that "a uniformly accelerated motion", means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

Y= VoT-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

where

Vo = Initial speed

=0

T = time

=1.588s

g =gravity=9.8m/s^2

Y =  bridge height

solving

Y= \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\Y=(0.5)(9.8)(1.588^2)=12.35m

Rank the vector combinations on the basis of their magnitude.
melomori [17]

I think this is about the 5th or 6th time I've seen this question
submitted to Brainly.  So far, nobody has yet given us any of
the rest of the question ... the part that tells us something about
the vectors, so that we have some way to know their magnitudes.
So far, nada.

Compare and Contrast the two main branches of physical science. How are they the same? How are they different?
nignag [31]
Physics
Chemistry


Physical science is science which studies non-living things.This covers things on earth to the universe.The main branches are physics and chemistry.The other sub-branches are Astronomy, meteorology and Geology.Physics is concerned with the basic principals of matter and energy.It covers concepts in motion, energy, force, pressure , light and many other areas we encounter in our day to day life.Chemistry is concerned with composition of matter and how it reacts.Material in chemistry is understood through observing molecules, atoms, elements and their interaction in nature including their properties.Chemistry is further divided into organic chemistry and natural chemistry sub-branches.

Hope this helps you!!!
