The radar device determines the vehicle's instantaneous speed.

I would argue that the purpose of the device is not to determine
whether individuals are driving safely.  They only determine whether
individuals are driving within legal speed limits.  There's much more
to 'safe' driving than that, but the radar gun can't detect it.

GenaCL600 [577]

Complete Question

For each of the following scenarios, describe the force providing the centripetal force for the motion:

a. a car making a turn

b. a child swinging around a pole

c. a person sitting on a bench facing the center of a carousel

d. a rock swinging on a string

e. the Earth orbiting the Sun.

Answer:

Considering a

    The force providing the centripetal force is the frictional force on the tires \

          i.e  \mu mg  =  \frac{mv^2}{r}

    where \mu is the coefficient of static friction

Considering b

   The force providing the centripetal force is the force experienced by the boys  hand on the pole

Considering c

     The force providing the centripetal force is the normal from the bench due to the boys weight

Considering d

     The force providing the centripetal force is the tension on the string

Considering e

      The force providing the centripetal force is the force of gravity between the earth and the sun

<h3>What is a Parachute?</h3>

This is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag.

The size of the parachute affects the speed of falling because a larger parachute allows it to displace more air, causing it to fall more slowly. The one with three parachutes which is A will fall slowest and the one with just one will fall fastest.

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.

Answer: from the vertical, one should aim  86.6°

Explanation:

height of the center of object = 7.0 m - 0.05 m = 6.95 m

now let the bullet hits centre at point A height x meters from the ground

also let t be the time taken for the bullet to hit the object

so distance travelled by the target will be

d = h - x = 6.95 - x

now using the equation of motion

d = 1/2gt²

so 1/2gt² = 6.95 - x

x = 6.95 - 1/2gt² .........let this be equ 1

let angle of fire be ∅

so v(cos∅) × t = 100

our velocity v is 1200 ft/sec = 365.76 m/s

365.76(cos∅) × t = 100 ........equ 2

also vertical position of the bullet after t is

y = y₀ + c(sin∅)t - 1/2gt²

y = 1 + 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt² ----- equ 3

After time t. the vertical position x and y are same, else the bullet wouldn't have strike target at centre, so;

x = y

we substitute

equ 1 = equ 3

6.95 - 1/2gt² = 1 + 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt²

6.95 - 1 = 365.76(sin∅)t - 1/2gt² +  1/2gt²

5.95 = 365.76(sin∅)t

t = 5.96 / 365.76(sin∅)

now input the above equ  into equ 2

365.76(cos∅) ×  5.96/365.76(sin∅) = 100

5.95(cos∅)/sin∅ = 100

tan∅ = 5.95/100 = 0.0595

∅ =  3.40°

therefore from the vertical, one should aim (90° - 3.40°) = 86.6°

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?
ivann1987 [24]
When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.
