a train leaves a station heading east at 50 mph from that same station a car drives north at a speed of 30mph after 3 hours how

far apart are the two vehicles?

Answer:

d = 175 miles

Explanation:

Train is moving towards East with constant speed of 50 mph

While car is moving at speed of 30 mph

so after t = 3 hours

the distance moved by the train is given as

d_1 = vt

d_1 = (50)(3) = 150 miles

at the same time the distance moved by the car is given as

d_2 = 30(3) = 90 miles

now we know that both car and train is moving perpendicular to each other

So the distance between them after t = 3 hours is given as

d= \sqrt{d_1^2 + d_2^2}

d = \sqrt{150^2 + 90^2}

d = 175 miles

Calculate the potential difference across a 25- resistor if a 0.3-A current is flowing through it.
alekssr [168]

Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

Voltage = (0.3 A) x (25 ohms)

Voltage = (0.3 x 25) (A-Ω)

<em>Voltage = 7.5 volts</em>

g You drop a 3.6-kg ball from a height of 3.5 m above one end of a uniform bar that pivots at its center. The bar has mass 9.9 k
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

h = 3.5 m

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the final speed of the ball when it collides with a seesaw. Using the third equation of motion:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 3.5 m

vf = final speed = ?

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)(3.5\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\v_f = \sqrt{68.67\ m^2/s^2}\\v_f = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1v_1 = m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of colliding ball = 3.6 kg

m₂ = mass of ball on the other end = 3.6 kg

v₁ = vf = final velocity of ball while collision = 8.3 m/s

v₂ = vi = initial velocity of other end ball = ?

Therefore,

(3.6\ kg)(8.3\ m/s)=(3.6\ kg)(v_i)\\v_i = 8.3\ m/s

Now, we again use the third equation of motion for the upward motion of the ball:

2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2\\

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity = -9.81 m/s² (negative for upward motion)

h = height = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 8.3 m/s

Therefore,

(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(8.3\ m/s)^2\\

<u>h = 3.5 m</u>

Light rays from stars bend toward smaller angles as they enter Earth's atmosphere. a. Explain why this happens using Snell's law
Grace [21]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

Explanation:

In option (a):

  • The principle of Snells informs us that as light travels from the less dense medium to a denser layer, like water to air or a thinner layer of the air to the thicker ones, it bent to usual — an abstract feature that would be on the surface of all objects. Mostly, on the contrary, glow shifts from a denser with a less dense medium. This angle between both the usual and the light conditions rays is referred to as the refractive angle.  
  • Throughout in scenario, the light from its stars in the upper orbit, the surface area of both the Earth tends to increase because as light flows from the outer atmosphere towards the Earth, it defined above, to a lesser angle.

In option (b):

  • Rays of light, that go directly down wouldn't bend, whilst also sun source which joins the upper orbit was reflected light from either a thicker distance and flex to the usual, following roughly the direction of the curve of the earth.  
  • Throughout the zenith specific position earlier in this thread, astronomical bodies appear throughout the right position while those close to a horizon seem to have been brightest than any of those close to the sky, and please find the attachment of the diagram.

A group of students prepare for a robotic competition and build a robot that can launch large spheres of mass M in the horizonta
jeyben [28]

Answer:

V_0

Explanation:

Given that, the range covered by the sphere, M, when released by the robot from the height, H, with the horizontal speed V_0 is D as shown in the figure.

The initial velocity in the vertical direction is 0.

Let g be the acceleration due to gravity, which always acts vertically downwards, so, it will not change the horizontal direction of the speed, i.e. V_0 will remain constant throughout the projectile motion.

So, if the time of flight is t, then

D=V_0t\; \cdots (i)

Now, from the equation of motion

s=ut+\frac 1 2 at^2\;\cdots (ii)

Where s is the displacement is the direction of force, u is the initial velocity, a is the constant acceleration and t is time.

Here, s= -H, u=0, and a=-g (negative sign is for taking the sigh convention positive in +y direction as shown in the figure.)

So, from equation (ii),

-H=0\times t +\frac 1 2 (-g)t^2

\Rightarrow H=\frac 1 2 gt^2

\Rightarrow t=\sqrt {\frac {2H}{g}}\;\cdots (iii)

Similarly, for the launched height 2H, the new time of flight, t', is

t'=\sqrt {\frac {4H}{g}}

From equation (iii), we have

\Rightarrow t'=\sqrt 2 t\;\cdots (iv)

Now, the spheres may be launched at speed V_0 or 2V_0.

Let, the distance covered in the x-direction be D_1 for V_0 and D_2 for 2V_0, we have

D_1=V_0t'

D_1=V_0\times \sqrt 2 t [from equation (iv)]

\Rightarrow D_1=\sqrt 2 D [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow D_1=1.41 D (approximately)

This is in the 3 points range as given in the figure.

Similarly, D_2=2V_0t'

D_2=2V_0\times \sqrt 2 t [from equation (iv)]

\Rightarrow D_2=2\sqrt 2 D [from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow D_2=2.82 D (approximately)

This is out of range, so there is no point for 2V_0.

Hence, students must choose the speed V_0 to launch the sphere to get the maximum number of points.

true or false:acceleration toward the center of a curved or circular path is called gravitational acceleration.
nalin [4]
Nope. It's called 'centripetal' acceleration. The force that created it MAY be gravitational, but it doesn't have to be. For things on the surface of the Earth moving in circles, it's never gravity.
