A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth
serg [7]

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

k0ka [10]
<span>3.36x10^5 Pascals The ideal gas law is PV=nRT where P = Pressure V = Volume n = number of moles of gas particles R = Ideal gas constant T = Absolute temperature Since n and R will remain constant, let's divide both sides of the equation by T, getting PV=nRT PV/T=nR Since the initial value of PV/T will be equal to the final value of PV/T let's set them equal to each other with the equation P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 where P1, V1, T1 = Initial pressure, volume, temperature P2, V2, T2 = Final pressure, volume, temperature Now convert the temperatures to absolute temperature by adding 273.15 to both of them. T1 = 27 + 273.15 = 300.15 T2 = 157 + 273.15 = 430.15 Substitute the known values into the equation 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 And solve for P2 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48/430.15 430.15 * 1.5E5*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 64522500*0.75/300.15 = P2*0.48 48391875/300.15 = P2*0.48 161225.6372 = P2*0.48 161225.6372/0.48 = P2 335886.7441 = P2 Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 3.36x10^5 Pascals. (technically, I should round to 2 significant figures for the result of 3.4x10^5 Pascals, but given the precision of the volumes, I suspect that the extra 0 in the initial pressure was accidentally omitted. It should have been 1.50e5 instead of 1.5e5).</span>

What best describes a reference fram?
finlep [7]

Answer:

A reference frame is that frame to which the qualities of an object are related:

For instance - an object may described by - mass, speed, acceleration, size,  etc,

It is important to remember that Newton's Laws of motion do not hold in accelerated reference frames -

Einstein's laws of special relativity are only true in frames that move with contant speed to one another
