Answer:

a.) Time = 17.13 seconds

b.) 31.88 m

c.) V = 11.18 m/s

d.) V = 7.1 m/s

Explanation:

The initial velocity U of the automobile is 15.65 m/s.

 At the instant that the two vehicles are abreast of each other, the police car starts to pursue the automobile with initial velocity U = 0 at a constant acceleration of 1.96 m/s². Because the police is starting from rest.

For the automobile, let us use first equation of motion

V = U - at.

Acceleration a is negative since it is decelerating with a = 3.05 m/s² . And

V = 0.

Substitute U and a into the formula

0 = 15.65 - 3.05t

15.65 = 3.05t

t = 15.65/3.05

t = 5.13 seconds

But the motorist noticed the police car in his rear view mirror 12 s after the police car started the pursuit and applied his brakes and decelerates at 3.05 m/s².

The total time required for the police car to overtake the automobile will be

12 + 5.13 = 17.13 seconds.

b.) Using the third equation of motion formula for the police car at V = 11.18 m/s and a = 1.96 m/s²

V^2 = U^2 + 2aS

Where S = distance travelled.

Substitute V and a into the formula

11.18^2 = 0 + 2 × 1.96 ×S

124.99 = 3.92S

S = 124.99/3.92

S = 31.88 m

c.) The speed of the police car at the time it overtakes the automobile will be in line with the speed zone which is 11.18 m/s

d.) That will be the final velocity V of the automobile car.

We will use third equation of motion to solve that.

V^2 = U^2 + 2as

V^2 = 15.65^2 - 2 × 3.05 × 31.88

V^2 = 244.9225 - 194.468

V = sqrt( 50.4545)

V = 7.1 m/s

How does heat conduction differ from convection?
Helga [31]

Explanation:

Conduction:

     Heat transfer in the conduction occurs due to movement of molecule or we can say that due to movement of electrons in the two end of same the body. Generally,  phenomenon of conduction happens in the case of solid . In conduction heat transfer takes places due to direct contact of two bodies.

Convection:

              In convection heat transfer of fluid takes place due to density difference .In simple words we can say that heat transfer occur due to motion of fluid.

What is the definition of a duty cycle?
ira [324]

Answer:

D=\frac{PW}{T}*100

Explanation:

In electrical terms, is the ratio of time in which a load or circuit is ON compared to the time in which the load or circuit is OFF.

The duty cycle or power cycle, is expressed as a percentage of the activation time. For example, a 70% duty cycle is a signal that 70% of the time is activated and the other 30% disabled. Its equation can be expressed as:

D=\frac{PW}{T}*100

Where:

D=Duty\hspace{3}Cycle

PW=Pulse\hspace{3}Active\hspace{3}Time

T=Period\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}the\hspace{3}Signal

Here is a picture that will help you understand these concepts.

Compute the theoretical density of ZnS given that the Zn-S distance and bond angle are 0.234 nm and 109.5o, respectively. The at
andriy [413]

Answer: the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³

Explanation:  

first the image of one set of ZnS bonding in the crystal structure, we calculate the value of angle θ

θ + ∅ + 90° = 180°

θ = 90° - ∅

θ = 90° - ( 109.5° / 2 )

θ = 35.25°

next we calculate the value of x from the geometry

given that;  distance angle d = 0.234

x = dsinθ

= 0.234 × sin35.25°)

= 0.135 nm = 0.135 × 10⁻⁷ cm

next we calculate the length of the unit cell

a = 4x

a = 4(0.135)

a = 0.54 nm = 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ cm

next we calculate number of formula units

n' = (no of corner atoms in unit ell × contribution of each corner atom in unit cell) + ( no of face center atom in a unit cell × contribution of each face center atom in a unit cell)

n' = 8 × 1/8) + ( 6 × 1/2)

= 1 + 3

= 4

next we calculate the theoretical density using  this equation

P = [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [Vc.NA]

= [n'∑(Ac + AA)] / [(a)³NA]

where the ∑Ac is sum of atomic weights of all cations in the formula unit( 65.41 g/mol)

∑AA is the sum of weights of all anions in the formula unit( 32.06 g/mol)

Na is the Avogadro’s number( 6.023 × 10²³ units/mole)

so we substitute

P = [4( 65.41 + 32.06)] / [ ( 0.54 × 10⁻⁷ )³ × (6.023 × 10²³)]

= 389.88 / 94.84

= 4.1109 g/cm³

therefore the theoretical density is 4.1109 g/cm³

Create a variable pounds to store weight in pounds. Convert this to kilograms and assign the result to a variable kilos. The con
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

>>pounds=13.2

>>kilos=pounds/2.2

Explanation:

Using Matlab to write the program, consider at any time when the weight in pounds is 13.2 lb, this variable of weight is created in MATLAB by typing >>pounds=13.2. To convert it from lb to Kg, we simply divide it by 2.2 hence the second command to created is kilos. For this, the output of the program will be 6 Kg.
