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.

3. You are flying 2586 miles from San Francisco to New York. An hour into the flight, you are 600
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

268.2 m/s (1dp)

Explanation:

600 miles = 965,606m (1mile = 1609.34m)

965606/60 = 16,0943.43 ..... (metres traveled every minute)

16,0943.43/60 = 268.2238 .....

An electric motor rotating a workshop grinding wheel at 1.06 102 rev/min is switched off. Assume the wheel has a constant negati
kvasek [131]

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}    => 106

    => 106 x 2π/60

    => 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

w_{f} => 0

w_{f} = w_{i} + ∝t

∴ (w_{f} - w_{i}) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

A thin layer of liquid methylene iodide (n = 1.756) is sandwiched between two flat, parallel plates of glass (n = 1.50). What mu
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

t = 96.1 nm

Explanation:

For strong reflection through liquid layer we know that the path difference between two reflected light rays must be integral multiple of wavelength

now we know that the path difference of two reflected light from thin liquid layer is given as

2\mu t - \frac{\lambda}{2} = N\lambda

here we know that

\mu = 1.756

t = thickness of layer

N = 0 (for minimum thickness of layer)

\lambda = 675 nm

now we have

2(1.756) t = \frac{675 nm}{2}

t = 96.1 nm

A man on the moon throws a ball vertically upwards and it is noticed that the ball travels 3.0m less in the fifth second of its
sdas [7]
<h2>Acceleration due to gravity in moon is 1.5 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

Here the ball travels 3 m less distance in fifth second compared to third second.

That is

           s₃ = s₅ + 3

Now we have

Distance traveled in third second, s₃ = u x 3 - 0.5 x g x 3² -  u x 2 - 0.5 x g x 2²

           s₃ = u - 2.5 g

Also

Distance traveled in fifth second, s₅ = u x 5 - 0.5 x g x 5² -  u x 4 - 0.5 x g x 4²

           s₅ = u - 4.5 g    

That is

           u - 2.5 g = u - 4.5 g + 3

             2 g = 3

                g = 1.5 m/s²

Acceleration due to gravity in moon = 1.5 m/s²

For a sound coming from a point source, the amplitude of the sound is inversely
gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
