A car travels due east with a speed of 52.0 km/h. Raindrops are falling at a constant speed vertically with respect to the Earth

. The traces of the rain on the side windows of the car make an angle of 66.0° with the vertical. Find the velocity of the rain with respect to the following reference frames. (Enter the magnitude of the velocity.)
(a) the car
m/s
(b) the Earth
m/s

Answer:

a) v = 6.43 m/s

b) v = 15.8 m/s

Explanation:

Speed of car = 56 km/h

56 km/h = 14.4 m/s

Angle rain makes on the glass to the vertical = 66°

Thus knowing that the opposite side of the angle is the distance moved by the car, and the adjacent side is the distance traveled by the rain in the same time

both of which are directly proportional to their velocities

Then

tan(66°) = 14.44m/s ÷ x

or x = 14.44/tan(66°)

Which is the vertical raindrop velocity of the relative to earth

v = 6.43 m/s vertically towards earth

For v relative to the car is we have vector sum of both velocities

v = √(14.44^2 + 6.43^2) = 15.8 m/s which is the velocity relative to car

= 15.8 m/s

1. A piece of metal weighs 50.0 N in air, 36.0 N in water, and 41.0 N in an unknown
denis23 [38]

Answer:

a) 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) 6.42kg/m^{3}

Explanation:

a) Firstly we would calculate the volume of the metal using it`s weight in air and water , after finding the weight we would find the density .

Weight of metal in air = 50N = mg implies the mass of metal is 5kg.

Now the difference of weight of the metal in air and water = upthrust acting on it = volume (metal) p (liquid) g = V (1000)(10) = 14N. So volume of metal piece = 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3}. So density of metal = mass of metal / volume of metal = 5 / 14 x 10^{-4}  kg/m^{3} = 3.37 x 10^{3} kg/m^3

b) Water exerts a buoyant force to the metal which is 50−36 = 14N, which equals the weight of water displaced. The mass of water displaced is 14/10 = 1.4kg Since the density of water is 1kg/L, the volume displaced is 1.4L. Hence, we end up with 3.57kg/l. Moreover, the unknown liquid exerts a buoyant force of 9N. So the density of this liquid is 6.42kg/m^{3}

omeli [17]

Answer:

Displacement after 5 seconds is 155/2 meters

Explanation:

Let X (t) represent the equation of the position, then you have to d2x / dt2 = 5.

Applying the fundamental theorem of the calculation dx/dt = 5t + vo. The speed equation is V (t) = 5t + vo. Since the initial velocity is 30m/s, V (0) = 5 (0) + vo = 30. Therefore, V (t) = dx/dt = 5t + 30. Applying again the fundamental theorem of the calculation X (t) = 5t^2 / 2 + 30t + xo.

Displacement in 5 seconds is given by X (5) - X (0).

X (5) - X (0) = 5 (5)^2/2 +3 (5) + Xo - 5 (0)^2/2 -3 (0) -Xo = 155/2

Displacement after 5 seconds is 155/2 meters
