1 mile = 5280 foot

Thus, miles = 29028/ 5280
= 5.49 miles. (approx)

Thus, mount everest is 5.49 miles high.

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1200 kg and was approaching at
igomit [66]

To resolve point A and B we need the concepts related to conservation of momentum (By collision) and Kinetic Energy. Conservation of momentum is given by the equation,

m_1\vec{v_1}+m_2\vec{v_2} = (m_1+m_2)\vec{v}

Our values in the statment are:

m_1 = 1200kg

v_1 = 6m/s

m_2 = 900kg

v_2 = 24m/s

Part A) As it is in an icy intersection, there is two different components (x,y) then,

1200(-6\hat{j})+900(-24\hat{i}) = (1200+900)\vec{v}

2100\vec{v} = -21600\hat{i}-7200\hat{j}

\vec{v} = -72/7\hat{i}-24/7\hat{j}

Then the magnitude is,

|\vec{v}| = 9.6525m/s

Part B) To obtain the Kinetic Energy Loss we need to use its equation, which is given by,

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

KE_i = \frac{1}{2}(1200)(6)^2+\frac{1}{2}(900)(24)^2

KE_i = 280.8kJ

The final energy is given by,

KE_f = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2

KE_f = \frac{1}{2} (1200+900)(9.65)

KE_f =97778.625J

Then the change in Kinetic Energy is

\Delta KE = KE_f-KE_i = 97.778kJ- 280.8kJ

\Delta KE = -183.02kJ

<em>There was a loss of KE of 183.02kJ</em>

While painting the top of an antenna 275 m in height, a worker accidentally lets a 1.00 L water bottle fall from his lunchbox. T
Tom [10]

Answer:

The force of impact of the water bottle is F = 13,475 N

Explanation:

Given data,

The height of the antenna, h = 275 m

The mass of the 1 L water bottle, m = 1 kg

Let the bottle moves distance immediately after the impact is, d = 0.2 m

The force exerted by the bottle on the bushes at the ground is given by the formula,

                                   F = mgh / d

Substituting the values

                                   F = 1 x 9.8 x 275 / 0.2

                                      = 13,475 N

The value of the force of impact can be reduced by increasing the value of d, it is like the lowering the hand along with the motion of the ball to catch it thereby reduce the force of impact.

The force of impact of the water bottle is F = 13,475 N

The heat vaporization for methyl alcohol is 1100 kj/kg. It is 2257 KJ/Kg for water. Thus means that______________.
dusya [7]

Answer: B) Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does

Explanation:

Latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert 1 kilo gram of liquid into its vapor state without change in its temperature.

Heat of vaporization is more for water than for methyl alcohol which means more heat is required to convert from liquid to vapour form.

As the Heat of vaporization for methyl alcohol  (1100) is almost half as that of Heat of vaporization for water (2257) , it means  Methyl alcohol requires less than half as much energy per kg to evaporate than water does.

10. Ron’s father finally installed cruise control on their flying car. He was having trouble because he kept of forgetting that
serg [7]

Air drag is the frictional force which is due to air molecules and it is always opposite to the direction of motion

So here direction of air resistance is always opposite to the motion or velocity

Now if Car is travelling then the force on the car due to engine is always in the direction of velocity of car

Because here engine will provide the force to accelerate the car.

So opposite to that motion there is air resistance.

So here correct answer will be

<em>B) The forward force applied by the engine</em>

Differences between work against friction and work against gravity.
Goshia [24]

Friction is the force that is resisting the motion of an object so it will always point in the opposite direction of that of movement. ... The force of gravity points downwards . So when you do work against gravity it means that the force acting on that object points in the upward direction .
