At one instant of time, a car and a truck are traveling side by side in adjacent lanes of a highway. The car has a greater veloc

ity than the truck has. Does the car necessarily have the greater acceleration?Explain

5 0

Answer:

NO

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocityΔv in respect to timeΔt

so if the velocity of the car is greater than the truck it does not mean that the car acceleration is greater than the truck.

Sometimes with constant velocity it means no accelaration ,but the truck may have accelaration

so, higher velocity of the car does not mean higher acceleration

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring
lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

Range = 22.61 m

Explanation:

We can use the formula for the Range in flat ground, given by:

Range=v_i^2\frac{sin(2\theta)}{g}

which for our case renders:

Range=15^2\frac{sin(80^o)}{9.8} \approx 22.61\,\,m
