You riding in a car traveling at a speed of 73 mi/hr in a. 60 mi/hr zone, when suddenly you spot a police car parked 20 ft ahead

of you. Do you hit the brakes and slow down with an acceleration of -2 ft/sec,for a total time of 3 seconds. Do you get a ticket?

I think yes i do.. cuz using yr information i get the distance i travelled before stopping become 49.62144 m, using the formula distance travelled/time taken= (final velocity+initial velocity)/2.
I am not sure tht its the right answer but using my calculation I got this so hope there! :)

Answer:

You get a ticket you speed is around 68 mi/hr

Explanation:

V_{f} =V_{i} + a*t

V_{i} = 73 \frac{mi}{hr} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 s} * \frac{1609,34m}{1 mi} = 32.6339 \frac{m}{s}, a=-2 \frac{ft}{s^{2} } * \frac{0.3048m}{1 ft} =-0.6096 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

V_{f} =32.6339\frac{m}{s}  -0.6096 \frac{m}{s^{2} } *3 s

V_{f} = 30.8051\frac{m}{s} *\frac{3600 s}{hr} * \frac{1 mi}{1609.34m} = 68.909 \frac{mi}{hr}

You still in trouble because  the speed is still above the allowed

Two cars collide at an icy intersection and stick together afterward. The first car has a mass of 1050 kg and was approaching at
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

v = 11.0 m/s at 198.6° (18.6° south of west)

ΔKE = -145 kJ

Explanation:

I assume you want to find the final velocity and the change in kinetic energy.

Take east to be +x and north to be +y.

Momentum is conserved in the x direction:

(1050 kg) (0 m/s) + (750 kg) (-25.0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vₓ

vₓ = -10.4 m/s

Momentum is conserved in the y direction:

(1050 kg) (-6.00 m/s) + (750 kg) (0 m/s) = (1050 kg + 750 kg) vᵧ

vᵧ = -3.50 m/s

The magnitude of the final velocity is:

v² = (-10.4 m/s)² + (-3.50 m/s)²

v = 11.0 m/s

The direction of the final velocity is:

θ = atan(-3.50 m/s / -10.4 m/s)

θ = 198.6°

The initial kinetic energy is:

KE₀ = ½ (1050 kg) (6.00 m/s)² + ½ (750 kg) (25.0 m/s)²

KE₀ = 253,275 J

The final kinetic energy is:

KE = ½ (1800 kg) (11.0 m/s)²

KE = 108,682 J

The change in kinetic energy is:

ΔKE = 108,682 J − 253,275 J

ΔKE ≈ -145,000 J

A football is thrown due north across a 40 meter river and it takes 2 seconds to cover that distance.
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

I. Speed = 20m/s

II. Velocity = 20m/s due North.

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Distance = 40m

Time = 2secs

To find the speed;

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = \frac{distance}{time}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Speed = \frac{40}{2}

<em>Speed = 20m/s.</em>

In physics, we use the same formula for calculating speed and velocity. The only difference is that speed is a scalar quantity and as such has magnitude but no direction while velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.

Velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

<em>Therefore, the velocity is 20m/s due North</em>.

Which is not an assumption about particles in a gas according to the kinetic theory?
bearhunter [10]
Let us evaluate the given assumptions according to the kinetic theory for an ideal gas.

a.
The motion of one particle is unaffected by other particles unless the particles collide.
TRUE. The particles are in random motion unless they collide.

b.
The forces of attraction among particles keep the particles close together.
FALSE. No forces act between particles except during collision.

c.
Under ordinary conditions, forces of attraction between particles can be ignored.
TRUE. 

Answer: Statement b is false because it is not an assumption.

A sound wave travels through water. What best describes the direction of the water particles?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next.

A water wave is an example of a transverse wave. As water particles move up and down, the water wave itself appears to move to the right or left.

A car with a mass of 600 kg is traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s. How much kinetic energy does it have?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

KE = 30,000 J

Explanation:

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(10)²

KE = \frac{1}{2} (600)(100)

KE = \frac{1}{2} (60000)

KE = 30,000 J
