A car heading north collides at an intersection with a truck heading east. if they lock together and travel 28 m.s at 46 degrees

north of east just after the collision, how fast was the car initially traveling? assume that the two vehicles have the same mass.
A) 30 m/s
B) 80 m/s
C) 20 m/s
D) 40 m/s

Answer:

C) 20 m/s

Explanation:

The collision of the car and truck will give a single resultant velocity due to equal masses.

We'll treat this question as a vector question.

The velocity profile will form a right angle triangle.

To calculate the velocity of the car

Let the velocity be x

Sina = x/28

Sin46= x/28

0.7193*28 = x

20 = x

X = 20 m/s

What would you do to improve the precision of an experiment?
GenaCL600 [577]

Explanation:

Precision represents that how close the different measurements of the sample one take are to one another.

  • One can increase the precision in lab by paying attention to each and every detail.
  • Usage of the equipment properly and also increasing the sample size.
  • Ensuring that the equipment is calibrated properly. They should be clean and functioning. Using equipment which is not functioning correctly can cause results to swing wildly and also bits of the debris stuck to the equipment can influence the measurements of the mass and the volume.
  • Each measurement must be taken multiple times, especially if experiments in which combining of the substances in specific amounts is involved.

If you were designing a room in a house, where would be the better place to put a heater, near the floor or near the ceiling? Wh
taurus [48]

Answer: The correct explanation is 2.

Explanation: The warm air is less dense (it expands) and thus it is lighter than the cold air so it will rise up to the floor. Therefore, when you place the heater on the floor it will warm the cold air which would then rise and be replaced by more cold air which would again get warm and rise and so on until the room is heated. This means that the correct explanation is 2.

On the other hand, if you put the heater at the ceiling, it will warm the cold air near the ceiling which would stay up there (it is lighter than the cold air under it). This means that the only way for the heat to spread from this ceiling level warm air to the lower levels is via conduction which is slow.
