A police car waits in hiding slightly off the highway. A speeding car is spotted by the police car doing 40 m/s. At the instant

the speeding car passes the police car, the police car accelerates from rest at 4 m/s2 to catch the speeding car. How long does it take the police car to catch the speeding car

Answer:

t = 20s

Explanation:

In order for the police car to capture the other car, both cars must travel the same length.

The distance traveled by the first vehicle is:

S = ^ Vt = 40t, where t represents the elapsed time and V the vehicle speed.

The distance traveled by the police car is:

S = at ^ 2/2 = 2t ^ 2, where t represents the elapsed time, a is the acceleration of the car.

As the distances traveled are equal:

40t = 2t ^ 2 in this way t = 20s

A small dog is trained to jump straight up a distance of 1.2 m. How much kinetic energy does the 7.2-kg dog need to jump this hi
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Answer:84.672 joules.

Explanation:

1) Data:

m = 7.2 kg
h = 1.2 m
g = 9.8 m / s²

2) Physical principle

Using the law of mechanical energy conservation principle, you have that the kinetic energy of the dog, when it jumps, must be equal to the final gravitational potential energy.

3) Calculations:

The gravitational potential energy, PE, is equal to m × g × h

So, PE = m × g × h = 7.2 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 1.2 m = 84.672 joules.

And that is the kinetic energy that the dog needs.

Since they are in the same direction, you would add them together. Let’s also assume said direction is positive. 225 N + 165 N = 390 N

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi
Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

\theta= Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta

I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)

I_2 = 0.125I_0

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30

Then,

I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3

I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)

I_3 = 0.09375I_0

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.

A graphic designers is not a visual artist.<br> True <br> False
Colt1911 [192]

This answer is false. A visual artist is defined as someone involved in the arts of painting, sculpting, photography, etc, as opposed to music, drama, and literature. A visual artist is in the form of making somthing more visable. So, a graphic designer is a visual artist.
