if you take one hour drive at an average speed of 65 mph, is it possible for another car with an average speed of 55 mph to pass

Nope, this is impossible because in order for a car to pass another, they the 55 mph car would have to be behind the 65 mph car (meaning that starting ahead of the 65 mph doesn't count as pass). Assuming that they both drive for one hour, it is impossible because the first will cover a distance of 65 mi and the second would cover a distance of 55 mi. One is obviously ahead of the other and is therefore impossible for the slow one to pass the first one unless the slow car keeps driving after an hour. In that case, it would take approximately 11 minutes for it to pass the other car. This was found by finding the distance needed to pass the first car : 65 - 55 = 10 mi and converted using 1 hr/ 55 mi = .18181818 hr x 60 min/ 1 hr = 11 seconds
I hope this helps :)

Sure it is.  We only know the average speeds, but we don't know
how much of the time each car drove faster or slower. 

The averages only tell us who got to the end of their trip sooner. 
But there could have been a time ... or several times during the hour ...
when the 55mph car was blazing and passed the 65mph car.

In fact, the 55mph car could have been driving at 110 mph for the
first 29 minutes, then the last 1.83 miles at a speed of 3.5 mph.
His average would then be 55mph, even though he spent the first
29 minutes passing everybody and everything on the road in the
first 53.16 miles of his trip.

Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan
Alina [70]

Answer:

2000 kg

Explanation:

Given that Which will have a larger momentum when moving at the same speed: a 2,000-kg truck or a 1,000-kg sedan

According to the definition of momentum, momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

That is,

Momentum = mass × velocity

Since velocity or speed is the same, then, the one of higher mass will have a greater momentum.

Therefore, the 2000 kg truck will have the greater momentum.

3. If a car is moving at 90km/hr and it rounds a corner, also at 90km/hr. Does it maintain
dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

Constant speed: yes

Constant velocity: no

Explanation:

Let's remind the definition of speed and velocity:

- Speed is a scalar quantity, which is equal to the ratio between the distance covered (regardless of the direction) and the time taken:

s=\frac{d}{t}

- Velocity is a vector quantity, so it has both a magnitude and a direction. The magnitude is equal to the rate between the displacement of the object and the time taken, while the direction is the same as the displacement.

In this problem, we notice that:

- The speed of the car remains constant, as it is 90 km/h

- However, its direction of motion changes while the car travels round the corner: this means that the direction of the velocity is also changing, therefore velocity is not constant.

How can we realize that light travel in straight line ?​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

It can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, formation of shadows and eclipse.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of light traveling in a straight line is known as rectilinear propagation of light.

One this evidence can be seen from the operation of pin-hole camera, which depends on rectilinear propagation of light

Also two natural effects that result from the rectilinear propagation of light are the formation of Shadows and Eclipse.

If you put a object in front of the mirror why does it appear the opposite way
UNO [17]
It is because that is how mirrors work, they reflect light, and since we see objects because we are seeing the light these objects reflect, what is reflected back by the mirror is what we see.
