A thief is trying to escape from a parking garage after completing a robbery, and the thief's car is speeding (v = 13 m/s) towar

d the door of the parking garage (fig. p2.60). when the thief is l = 22 m from the door a police officer flips a switch to close the garage door. the door starts at a height of 9 m and moves downward at 0.6 m/s. if the thief's car is 1.4 m tall, will the thief escape?

<u>Answer</u>

Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.

<u>Explanation</u>

The time taken by the car to reach at the door.

Time = distance / time

        = 22/13

          = 1.6923 seconds

Time taken by the door to close up to the height of the car.

Distance the door has to move to prevent the car from escaping = 9.1.4 = 7.6 m

From newton's 2nd law of motion;

s = ut + 1/2 gt²

7.6 = 0.6t + 1/2 × 10t²

7.6 = 0.6t + 5t²

50t² + 6t - 76 = 0

Solving this quadrilatic equation,

t = 28.537 seconds

Answer: Yes, the car reaches the door before the gate closes.

Explain how earths lithosphere and asthenosphere work together
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

The lithosphere can affect the atmosphere when tectonic plates move and cause an eruption, where magma below spews up as lava above.

Explanation:

The lithosphere is broken into giant plates that fit around the globe like puzzle pieces. These puzzle pieces move a little bit each year as they slide on top of a somewhat fluid part of the mantle called the asthenosphere.

Suppose our experimenter repeats his experiment on a planet more massive than Earth, where the acceleration due to gravity is g
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ massive planet be a = 30 m/s^2

- Let acceleration due to gravity @ earth be g = 30 m/s^2

Solution:

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration a on massive planet is:

                                 t = v / a

                                 t = v / 30

- The average time taken for the ball to cover a distance h from chin to ground with acceleration g on earth is:

                                 t = v / g

                                 t = v / 9.81

- Hence, we can see the average time taken by the ball on massive planet is less than that on earth to reach back to its initial position. Hence, option C

When an object is placed just outside the focal length of a concave mirror, the image is
swat32

Answer:

O larger than the object and real

Explanation:

As we know by the formula of mirror

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know that

d_o = (f_o + x)

so we have

\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{f_o} - \frac{1}{f_o + x}

so we have

d_i = \frac{(f_o)(f_o + x)}{x}

so magnification is given as

M = -\frac{d_i}{d_o}

M = - \frac{f_o}{x}

so here we have

|M| > 1

so image will be larger than object and real
