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?

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.

Answer:

They two waves has the same amplitude and frequency but different wavelengths.

Explanation: comparing the wave equation above with the general wave equation

y(x,t) = Asin(2Πft + 2Πx/¶)

Let ¶ be the wavelength

A is the amplitude

f is the frequency

t is the time

They two waves has the same amplitude and frequency but different wavelengths.

In 1865, Jules Verne proposed sending men to the Moon by firing a space capsule from a 220-m-long cannon with final speed of 10.

Answer:

The unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch is 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s².

How many times stronger than gravity is this force? 2.79 x 10⁴ g.

Explanation:

given information:

s = 220 m

final speed, vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

he unrealistically large acceleration experienced by the space travelers during their launch

vf² = v₀²+2as, v₀ = 0

vf² = 2as

a =vf²/2s

  = (10970)²/(2x220)

  = 2.7 x 10⁵ m/s²

Compare your answer with the free-fall acceleration

a/g = 2.7 x 10⁵/9.8

a/g = 2.79 x 10⁴

a = 2.79 x 10⁴ g
