The larger the mass the mass and the speed, the larger the force it would produce if it crashes something. Some car crashes produce minor injuries because maybe this car is small and runs at very slow speed which would mean less force when in impact with another. However, if a big truck crashes, it is expected to produce a larger force causing catastrophic injuries.

A toy car is given an initial velocity of 5.0 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 2.0 m/s656-03-02-00-00_files/i02900
Whitepunk [10]
It would be 17 m/s

If we use

V2 = V1 + a*t
Sub in 5 for v1
2m/s*2 for a
And
6 for t
That should give you the answer.

Light travels faster in warmer air. On a sunny day, the sun can heat a road and create a layer of hot air above it. Let's model
AysviL [449]

Answer:

Explanation:

If we assume there is a sharp boundary between the two masses of air, there will be a refraction. The refractive index of each medium will depend on the relative speeds of light.

n = c / v

If light travels faster in warmer air, it will have a lower refractive index

nh < nc

Snell's law of refraction relates angles of incidence and refracted with the indexes of refraction:

n1 * sin(θ1) = n2 * sin(θ2)

sin(θ2) = sin(θ1) * n1/n2

If blue light from the sky passing through the hot air will cross to the cold air, then

n1 = nh

n2 = nc

Then:

n1 < n2

So:

n1/n2 < 1

The refracted light will come into the cold air at angle θ2 wich will be smaller than θ1, so the light is bent upwards, creating the appearance of water in the distance, which is actually a mirror image of the sky.
