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

Helen [10]3 years ago
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

During a circus act, an elderly performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of
olasank [31]

Answer:

3.416 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

mass of cannonball m_A = 72.0 kg

mass of performer m_B = 65.0 kg

The horizontal component of the ball initially \mu_{xA} = 6.50 m/s

the final velocity of the combined system v = ????

By applying the linear momentum of conservation:

m_A \mu_{xA}+m_B \mu_{xB} = (m_A+m_B) v

72.0 \ kg \times 6.50 \ m/s+65.0 \ kg \times 0 = (72.0 \ kg+65.0 \ kg) v

468 kg m/s + 0 = (137 kg)v

v = \dfrac{468\  kg m/s }{137 \ kg}

v = 3.416 m/s

The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about 7500 L of blood. Assume tha
Yuri [45]

Answer:

(a) 1.257 x 10^5 J

(b) 1.456 Watt

Explanation:

Volume of blood, v = 7500 L = 7.5 m^3

Height, h = 1.63 m

density of blood, d = 1.05 x 10^3 kg/m^3

(a) work done = m x g x h

W = v x d x g x h = 7.5 x 1.05 x 1000 x 9.8 x 1.63 = 1.257 x 10^5 J

(b) time = 1 day = 24 x 60 x 60 s = 86400 seconds

Power = Work / time = 1.257 x 10^5 / 86400 = 1.456 Watt

Barney walks at a velocity of 1.7 meters/second on an inclined plane, which has an angle of 18.5° with the ground. What is the h
Viktor [21]
The velocities and the speed build a triangle, where the 1.7 m/s are the hypotenuse and the x-velocity and y-velocity are the other sides. 

<span>So the x-velocity is: speed*cos(angle) </span>

<span>now plug in </span>
<span>x=1.7 m/s * cos(18.5)=1.597 m/s </span>

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.
