You are in a car going 70 km/h and another car passes you going in the opposite direction at 70 km/h. Do both cars have the same

velocity? Explain.

No, both the cars do not have the same velocity.

Velocity is a vector quantity and it is the rate of change of displacement with time or change in speed with direction.

Velocity has both magnitude and direction. So when you are in a car going 70 km/h and another car goes in the opposite direction at 70 km/h their velocities are different. 

How?

Consider your car as moving in the positive direction, so its velocity will be 70 km/h and for the car moving in the opposite direction, since the direction is opposite, the velocity of that car will be -70 km/h. This is because, the velocity is a vector quantity that has both magnitude and direction. For one car, the direction is positive and for the other one the direction is negative.

in an experiment which the volume of dry sand is measured by the displacement of water, the sand was slightly wet to begin with.
Mamont248 [21]
It would mean that you could not know the precise volume of the sand. Only the volume of the sand plus the water that was making it damp.

In the experiments listed, the effects are easy to deduce by understanding that the water in the sand adds volume to the 'sample' being measured.

So in the case of calculating air space you would calculate <em>less</em> air space.

A pilot flies in a straight path for 1 hour 30 minutes. She then makes a course correction, heading 45 degrees to the right of h
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

1199 miles

Explanation:

1 hour 30 minutes = 1 + 30/60 = 1.5 hours

2 hours 15 minutes = 2 + 15/60 = 2.25 hours

The distance she flew in the 1st segment is:

1.5*345 = 517.5 miles

The distance she flew in the 2nd segment is:

2.25 * 345 = 776.25 miles

Since the 2nd segment is 45 degree with respect to the 1st segment, this means that she has flown

776.25 * cos(45) = 549 miles in-line with the 1st segment and

776.25* sin(45) = 549 miles perpendicular to the 1st segment:

So the distance from the end to her starting position is

\sqrt{(517.5 + 549)^2 + 549^2} = 1199 miles

You are writing a report about space travel. Where would be the best place to find information? (2 points)
Harrizon [31]

Answer: Contact the National Aeronautics and Space Association

Explanation:

The National Aeronautics and Space Association is an independent organization in US which aims to enable a safe, secure, efficient space journey and launch of new satellites, spacecraft beyond the earth's orbit. It can give better information for the space travel already conducted by the astronauts. Thus will help in writing the report as it is the best place to find the information.

An astronaut drops a rock from the top of a crater on the moon. When the rock is halfway down to the bottom of the crater, its s
Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.
