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

rusak2 [61]

The distance you free-fall from rest is  D = (1/2) (g) (T²) <== memorize this

Height of the platform = (1/2) (9.8 m/s²) (2.4 sec)²

Height = (4.9 m/s²) (5.76 s²)

Height = (4.9/5.76) meters

Height = 28.2 meters (a VERY high platform ... about 93 ft off the water !)

Without air-resistance, your horizontal speed doesn't change.  It's constant.  Traveling 3.1 m/s for 2.4 sec, you cover (3.1 m/s x 2/4 s) = 7.4 m horizontally.

An oblique rectangular prism with a square base has a volume of 539 cubic units. The edges of the prism measure 7 by 7 by 14 uni
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

3 units

Solution:

V=539 cubic units

Square base, with edge a=7 units

Slanted edge length: s=14 units

V=Ab h

Ab=49 square units

539 cubic units = (49 square units) h

h= 11 units

s-h=14 units-11 units

s-h=3 units

A 0.18-kg turntable of radius 0.32 m spins about a vertical axis through its center. A constant rotational acceleration causes t
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Angular acceleration will be 18.84rad/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that mass m = 0.18 kg

Radius r = 0.32 m

Initial angular velocity \omega _i=0rev/sec

And final angular velocity \omega _f=24rev/sec

Time is given as t = 8 sec

From equation of motion

We know that \omega _f=\omega _i+\alpha t

24=0+\alpha \times 8

\alpha =3rev/sec^2=3\times 2\times \pi rad/sec^2=18.84rad/sec^2

So angular acceleration will be 18.84rad/sec^2

What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car traveling at 75mph?What is the kinetic energy in Joules of a 1,500kg car t
Sergio039 [100]

Answer: 2812500 joules

Explanation:

Mass of car = 1500kg

Velocity of car = 75mph

Kinetic energy = ?

Recall that kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a moving object, and it depends on its mass M and velocity, V

Thus, Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mv^2

= 1/2 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 0.5 x 1000kg x (75mph)^2

= 500 x 5625

= 2812500 joules

Thus, the car travels with a kinetic energy of 2812500 joules
