To demonstrate the tremendous acceleration of a top fuel drag racer, you attempt to run your car into the back of a dragster tha

t is "burning out" at the red light before the start of a race. (Burning out means spinning the tires at high speed to heat the tread and make the rubber sticky.) You drive at a constant speed of v0 toward the stopped dragster, not slowing down in the face of the imminent collision. The dragster driver sees you coming but waits until the last instant to put down the hammer, accelerating from the starting line at constant acceleration, a. Let the time at which the dragster starts to accelerate be t = 0.
(A) What is tmax, the longest time after the dragster begins to accelerate that you can possibly run into the back of the dragster if you continue at your initial velocity?

Answer:

Explanation:

If the dragster  attains the speed equal to that of the car which is moving with constant velocity of v₀ , before the two close in contact with each othe , there will not be collision .

So the dragster starting from rest , must attain the velocity v₀ in the maximum time given that is tmax .

v = u + a t

v₀ = 0 + a tmax

tmax = v₀ / a

The value of tmax is v₀ / a .

When two objects of different masses, different temperatures, and different sizes are placed in thermal contact, energy will alw
denpristay [2]

Answer:

a) from the hotter object to the cooler object

Explanation:

temperature moves by conduction,  which is associated with the movement of  atoms or molecules and the always move from hight temperatures to lower temperatures to attain thermal equilinrium of the system.

so when two objects are placed together and have different temperatures then the system is not in thermal equilibrium and to attain it, temperature can only move to coller object and not from the coller object according to thermodynamics.

4. A substance has a density of 0.79 g/cm'. It is soluble in water. List all the possibilities of what it might be How could you
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;

i) t-butanol

ii) ethanol

iii) 2-propanol

iv) acetone

However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.

What happens to molecules when their kinetic energy decreases?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The speed of molecule decreases and temperature also decreases

Explanation:

Kinetic energy of the molecules of a subsance is directly proportional to the temperature of molecule So as the kinetic energy decrease, temperature also decreases. decreses their speed.
