One terminal of a car battery is said to be connected to “ground.” since it is not really connected to the ground, what is meant

by this expression

This expression means that the negative terminal (-) is connected to the metal chassis or engine, which means that all voltages used for the electrical devices in the car are measured with respect to the car's chassis or engine. 
Today's vehicles have a negative ground system, which means that the vehicle's steel frame or chassis is directly connected to the negative side of the battery via the negative battery cable.

What is the velocity of a 50kg skater if her momentum is 225kg. m/s?
Gnom [1K]

|Momentum| = (mass) x (speed)

225 kg-m/s =(50kg) x (speed)

Divide each side by (50kg):  Speed=(225 kg-m/s) / (50 kg) = 4.5 m/s .

Regarding the velocity, nothing can be said other than the speed, because
we have no information regarding the direction of the object's motion.

A swimming pool measures 5.0 m long x 4.0 m wide x 3.0 mdeep.
QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 588,000 N

b) 294000 N

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water = 1000kg/m3

(g) = 9.8m/s2

volume is given as (V)= 5m*4m*3m

a) force will be equal to weight of water

W = mg  = \rho g V = 1000\times 9.8 \times (5*4*3) = 588,000 kg m/s^2

b) at either end

P = \frac{F}{A} = P_o + \rho gh

dF = PdA

dF = \rho g w \int h dh

F = \rho g w \frac{h^2}{2}

F = \rho g A \frac{h}{2}           [A = wh]

F = 1000\times 9.8 \times 5\times 4 \times\frac{3}{2}

F = 294000 N

Superman does an exhibition run at a track meet. When he runs the 200 m
Ber [7]

Answer:

6.32s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Length of track and distance covered  = 200m

Acceleration  = 10m/s²

Unknown:

Time taken to cover the track  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply one of the motion equations as shown below:

       S  = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²  

S is the distance covered

t is the time taken

a the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

The initial velocity of Superman is 0;

 So;

     S  =  \frac{1}{2} at²  

        200  =  \frac{1}{2} x 10 x t²  

          200  = 5t²  

            t²  = 40

            t  = 6.32s

An example of a household appliance with a low and high power rating​
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are countless household appliances in every single house. One appliance with a low power rating would be a ceiling fan. On average ceiling fans consume roughly 60w and are found in the majority of houses. On the other side of the spectrum, we have a high power-rating appliance such as a microwave. Microwaves use anywhere between 1000w to 1800w of power in order to function correctly. This is very large power consumption and one of the highest power ratings found for appliances in a household.
