You have been called to testify as an expert witness in a trial involving a head-on collision. Car A weighs 1515 lb and was trav

eling eastward. Car B weighs 1125 lb and was traveling westward at 43.0 mph. The cars locked bumpers and slid eastward with their wheels locked for 17.5 ft before stopping. You have measured the coefficient of kinetic friction between the tires and the pavement to be 0.750. How fast (in miles per hour) was car A traveling just before the collision? (This problem uses English units because they would be used in a U.S. legal proceeding.)

What is the maximum mass that can hang without sinking from a 20-cm diameter Styrofoam sphere in water? Assume the volume of the
alex41 [277]

Answer:

the maximum mass that can hang without sinking is 2.93 kg

Explanation:

Given: details:

sphere diameter  d = 20 cm

so, radius r = 10 cm  = 0.10 m

density of the Styrofoam sphere D = 300 kg/m3

sphere volume  V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3

                                                   =\frac{4}{3} \pi 0.10^3

                                                   =4.18*10^{-3} m^3

we know that

Density = \frac{Mass}{Volume}

mass  M = Density * Volume

                                  = (300)(4.18*10^{-3} m3)

                                  =1.25 kg

mass of the water displace = volume *density  of water

                                                 = 4.18*10^{-3} m3 * 1000

                                                 = 4.18 kg

The difference between the mass of water and mass of styrofoam is the amount of mass that the sphere can support

=4.18 kg  -1.25 kg

= 2.93 kg

If the sound level at a point is 98.0 dB, what is the intensity of sound at that point (Unit=W/m^2)? please help will give brain
Firlakuza [10]

Answer: The decibel scale is a logarithmic scale where each bel or 10 decibels correspondents to a factor of ten. A power intensity of 10^(-12) watts per square meter is the standard reference for a SPL of 0 db. So an SPL of 98 db corresponds to a power intensity of 10^(9.8)*10^(-12) or 10^(9.8–12) w/m^2.

0.006309573 w/m^2.

You can also readily find the value for any given SPL using the online calculator at: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-soundlevel.htm

To introduce you to the concept of escape velocity for a rocket. the escape velocity is defined to be the minimum speed with whi
Mama L [17]
A projectile fired upward from the Earth's surface will usually slow down, come momentarily to rest, and return to Earth. For a certain initial speed, however it will move upward forever, with its speed gradually decreasing to zero just as its distance from Earth approaches infinity. The initial speed for this case is called escape velocity. You can find the escape velocity v for the Earth or any other planet from which a projectile might be launched using conservation of energy. The projectile of mass m leaves the surface of the body of mass M and radius R with a kinetic energy Ki = mv²/2 and potential energy Ui = -GMm/R. When the projectile reaches infinity, it has zero potential energy and zero kinetic energy since we are seeking the minimum speed for escape. Thus Uf = 0 and Kf = 0. And from conservation of energy,
Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf
mv²/2 -GMm/R = 0
∴ v = √(2GM/R) 

This is the expression for escape velocity.

Observations of galaxies and clusters of galaxies indicate that about ____ percent of the matter in the universe is dark matter.
Setler79 [48]

All the stars, spheres and galaxies that can be perceived nowadays make up just 5 percent of the universe. The former 95 percent is prepared of stuff stargazers can't see, notice or even understand. These secretive substances are called dark energy and dark matter. Experts determine their presence grounded on their gravitational influence on what little bits of the universe can be perceived.
