Raindrops hitting the side windows of a car in motion often leave diagonal streaks even if there is no wind. Why? Is the explana

tion the same or different for diagonal streaks on the windshield?
Physics
1 answer:
labwork [276]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

because of the raindrop velocity relative of the car has a vertical and horizontal component  

Explanation:

  1. The car moves in a <em>horizontal direction </em>relative to the ground. The raindrops fall in the <em>vertical direction</em> relative to the ground.
  2. Their velocity relative to the moving car has  both vertical and horizontal components and this is the reason for the diagonal streaks on the side window.
  3. The diagonal streaks on the windshield  arise from a different reason.
  4. The drops  are pushed  off to  one side  of the  windshield  because  of air resistance.

A box is being dragged with a horizontal force of 65 N for 12 meters. If there is a force of friction acting on it
asambeis [7]

Answer:

A. 780 J

B. 120 J

C. 660 J

Explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

A. Determination of the work done by the dragging force.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Workdone (Wd) by dragging force =?

Wd = Fₔ × s

Wd = 65 × 12

Wd = 780 J

Therefore, the work done by the dragging force is 780 J

B. Determination of the work done by friction.

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Workdone (Wd) by friction =?

Wd = Fբ × s

Wd = 10 × 12

Wd = 120 J

Therefore, the work done by friction is 120 J

C. Determination of the net work done on the box.

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Distance (s) = 12 m

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Next, we shall determine the net force acting on the box. This can be obtained as follow:

Dragging force (Fₔ) = 65 N

Force of friction (Fբ) = 10 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = Fₔ – Fբ

Fₙ = 65 – 10

Fₙ = 55 N

Thus, the net force acting on the box is 55 N

Finally, we shall determine the net work done on the box as follow:

Distance (s) = 12 m

Net force (Fₙ) = 55 N

Net work done (Wd) =?

Wd = Fₙ × s

Wd = 55 × 12

Wd = 660 J

Therefore, the net work done on the box is 660 J

lilavasa [31]

Answer: Analog transfer information quicker, example electromagnetic waves which are used in our modern day phones.

Explanation:  Digital signals are a more reliable form of transmitting information because an error in the amplitude or frequency value would have to be very large in order to cause a jump to a different value. Signals are composed of infinite possible values. Signals are composed of only two possible values: 0 or 1.

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 33.6 cm. when one end is attached to the top of a doorframe a
masha68 [24]
Missing question: "What is the spring's constant?"

Solution:
The object of mass m=6.89 kg exerts a force on the spring equal to its weight:
F=mg=(6.89 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=67.6 N
When the object is attached to the spring, the displacement of the spring with respect to its equilibrium position is
\Delta x=43.2 cm-33.6 cm=9.6 cm=0.096 m
And by using Hook's law, we can find the constant of the spring:
k= \frac{F}{\Delta x}= \frac{67.6 N}{0.096 m}=704.2 N/m

Electricity is the movement of _____ from one atom to another along a conductor.
prohojiy [21]

The sentence can be completed as follows:

"Electricity is the movement of charges from one atom to another along a conductor."


The movement of the the charges is due to the presence of a potential difference across the conductor, which pushes the charges. More specifically, in normal conductors, the carriers of electricity are the electrons. Therefore we can rewrite the sentence as

"Electricity is the movement of electrons from one atom to another along a conductor."

A ball is dropped from a window and takes two seconds to reach the ground .it starts from rest and reaches a final speed of 20m/
Akimi4 [234]
The ball can't reach the speed of 20 m/s in two seconds, unless you THROW it down from the window with a little bit of initial speed. If you just drop it, then the highest speed it can have after two seconds is 19.6 m/s .

If an object starts from rest and its speed after 2 seconds is 20 m/s, then its acceleration is 20/2 = 10 m/s^2 .

(Gravity on Earth is only 9.8 m/s^2.)
