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.

stira [4]

Answer:

B) 12 m

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is:

PE = mgh

Given PE = 5997.6 J, and m = 51 kg:

5997.6 J = (51 kg) (9.8 m/s²) h

h = 12 m

Nuclear _________ reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun. A) fission
Bogdan [553]

Nuclear fusion reactions convert protons into helium; thus, becoming the source of all energy radiated by the sun.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Nuclear fusion reaction is one among the two nuclear reactions in which the atoms nucleus interact with each other to produce the products. In nuclear fusion, two smaller atoms react together to form a new atom with bigger size.

So large amount of energy is required to start the nuclear fusion reaction. The fusion reactions mostly occurs in stars. The illumination in Stars even the Sun is due to nuclear fusion reaction occurring with the atoms present in them.

Mostly the energy radiated by Sun is due to the protons-protons chain reaction. In this chain reaction, the protons get converted into helium due to nuclear fusion reaction, thus becoming the source of all energy radiated by the Sun.

A sound wave travels in air toward the surface of a freshwater lake and enters into the water. The frequency of the sound does n
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

velocity of sound in air at 20⁰C is 343 m /s

velocity of sound in water at 20⁰C is 1481 m /s

The wavelength of the sound is 2.86 m in the air so its frequency

= 343 / 2.86 = 119.93 .

This frequency of  119.93 will remain unchanged in water .

wavelength in water = velocity in water / frequency

= 1481 / 119.93

= 12. 35 m .

The singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter. Explain this using what you know about resonance.
rusak2 [61]

Explanation:

Resonance: Resonance is the phenomenon which occurs when the applied frequency on the object is equal to its natural frequency.

In the given problem, the singing of an opera singer caused a drinking glass to shatter.

This occurs due to the phenomenon resonance. The applied frequency of the singing of an opera singer on the drinking glass matches with the natural frequency of the drinking glass. It causes a glass to shatter.
