Answer:

4.245s

Explanation:

Given that,

Hypothetical value of speed of light in a vacuum is 18 m/s

Speed of the car, 14 m/s

Time given is 6.76 s, and we're asked to find the observed time, T

The relationship between the two times can be given as

T = t / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

The missing variable were looking for is t, and we can find it if we rearrange the formula and make t the subject

t = T / √[1 - (v²/c²)]

And now, we substitute the values and insert into the equation

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (14²/18²)]

t = 6.76 * √[1 - (196/324)]

t = 6.76 * √(1 - 0.605)

t = 6.76 * √0.395

t = 6.76 * 0.628

t = 4.245 s

Therefore, the time the driver measures for the trip is 4.245s

(2) We know that, u=0 a=acceleration=gravity = 9.80665 m/s^2 = 9.81 m/s^2 s=19.6 sub (2) we get, v^2 = 0+ 2*9.81*19.6 v^2 = 2*9.81*19.6 v^2 = 384.552 v = 19.6099 v = 19.61 m/s Sub v=19.61 m/s in (1) we get, Impulse = mv - mu we know that u=0; v= 19.61 m/s; m= 3.00 kg Impulse = 3(19.61) - 3(0) Impulse = 58.83-0 Impulse = 58.83 Ns. Therefore the gravitational force exerted by the stone is 58.83 Ns.</span>

harina [27]
Convention is known as one of the driving forces of atmospheric circulation. Convection is defined as the heat transfer due to bulk movement of the molecules within fluids like liquids and gases, uncluding th molten rock. Convention takes place through diffusion, advection or can be both and it is usually a domination form of heat that transfer into liquids and gases.

At the bottom of a large cylindrical tank filled with fresh water the gauge pressure is 11.6 psi. What is the height (in feet) o
Art [367]

Answer:

8.19m

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Pressure, P= 11.6 psi = 79979.185 Pa

Gauge pressure is given as:

P = h*d*g

=> h = P/(d*g)

Where

h = height of tank

d = density

g = acceleration due to gravity

Density of water = 997 kg/m³

Therefore, the height of the tank is:

h = 79979.185/(997 * 9.8)

h = 8.19m
