When driving straight down the highway at a constant velocity you have to give the engine a little gas (which means an added ext

ernal force of tires pushing on the road) to maintain your uniform motion. Explain why this does not violate Newton’s 1st law. What are the other forces acting on the vehicle?"

Answer:

Explanation:

This does not violate Newton's 1st law because the net force would still be 0 in order to produce uniform motion (aka constant velocity). The other forces acting on the vehicles is air resistance which is non-zero. So we need car internal force to counter balance this force, which require extra gas for the car.

The equation for the de Broglie wavelength is: 
<span>λ = (h/mv) √[1-(v²/c²)], </span>
<span>where h is Plank's Constant, m is the rest mass, v is velocity, and c is the velocity of light in vacuum. However, if c>>v (and it is, in this case) then the expression under the radical sign approaches 1, and the equation simplifies to: </span>
<span>λ = h/mv. </span>
<span>Substituting, (remember to convert the mass to kg, since 1 J = 1 kg·m²/s²): </span>
<span>λ = (6.63x10^-34 J·s) / (0.0459 kg) (72.0 m/s) = 2.00x10^-34 m.</span>

A man has a mass of 66 kg on the earth. What is his weight.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
Since force = mass X acceleration, then the force he excerts on the earth (aka his weight) equals his mass times the force of gravity.

Therefore
W = (66 kg) X (9.8 m/ss)
W = 646.8 kgm/ss

kg m/ss are also known as Newtons, so your answer is...

646.8 N

If tides occur twice a day in most places. How much time is there between a morning high tide and the next high tide?
algol13

About 12 hours is the time between a morning high tide and the next high tide

Explanation:

The Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal bulges  

The “periodic rise and fall” of the surface water levels of the ocean is called tides. The gravitational action and interaction on the earth by the sun and the moon causes these tides. Different regions of the World experiences different patterns of tides like the diurnal, semi-diurnal etc.

When there is one high and one low tide occurring on a lunar day, then it is diurnal pattern. Semi-diurnal pattern occurs when there are two equal high and low tides on a single lunar day.

Since the Earth’s rotation happens between two tidal “bulges” on each lunar day, the coastal areas can experience two high and two low tides in every 24 hours plus 50 minutes.

Accordingly the time between two high tides would be 12 hours plus 25 minutes. Similarly, the time gap between a high to low tide would be 6 hours plus 12.5 minutes.

A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car starts
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This happens because the coffee was at rest, at the time when the car accelerates to move forward the container containing the coffee also accelerates in the same direction, the liquid when moving suddenly spills. The same will happen if the car slows down, any sudden movement changes will cause the coffee to spill, understood by sudden movements when it accelerates or slows down.
