Convection causes the temperature of the air to vary from cool-hot. this variation between the hot air on the surface of the road and the cold air that is close above it creates a gradient located in the refractive index of air and you see what we call a mirage! hope this helps!.

We wrap a light, nonstretching cable around a 10.0 kg kg solid cylinder with diameter of 38.0 cm cm . The cylinder rotates with
amm1812

Answer: 14.16

Explanation:

Given

d = 38cm

r = d/2 = 38/2 = 19cm = 0.19m

K.E = 510J

m = 10kg

I = 1/2mr²

I = 1/2*10*0.19²

I = 0.18kgm²

When it has 510J of Kinetic Energy then,

510J = 1/2Iω²

ω² = 1020/I

ω² = 1020/0.18

ω² = 5666.67

ω = √5666.67 = 75.28 rad/s

Velocity is the block, v = ωr

V = 75.28 * 0.19

V = 14.30m/s

The "effective mass" M of the system is

M = (14.0 + ½*10.0) kg = 19.0 kg

The motive force would be

F = ma

F = 14 * 9.8

F = 137.2N

so that the acceleration would be

a = F/m

a = 137.2/19

a = 7.22m/s²

Finally, using equation of motion.

V² = u² + 2as

14.3² = 0 + 2*7.22*s

204.49 = 14.44s

s = 204.49/14.44

s = 14.16m

Will a seismic wave traveling through a solid go slower or faster than a seismic wave traveling through a liquid? Why?
Snezhnost [94]
You can't answer this question because you aren't giving the specific type of seismic waves. There is an s-wave a p-wave and an l-wave. Those are the basic waves. An S-wave cannot travel through a liquid at all. So, obviously it travels slower than any other seismic wave. 


<span>It would travel faster because their speed depends on the density and composition of material that they pass through.</span>

Two bicyclists are accelerating forward in a straight line, and Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2. If the net force on the bike
Solnce55 [7]

If  Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.​

<h3>What is the Newton second law?</h3>

The Newton second law gives the relationship between the force and the acceleration. We know that; acceleration = Force/mass.

Now if Biker 1 has less mass than Biker 2 it the follows that biker 1 has a greater acceleration than Biker 2.​
