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

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.

To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo
Setler [38]

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

When an unbalanced force acts on an object,
Gwar [14]
When balanced forces follow up on an object, the object won't move. If you push against a wall, the wall pushes back with an equal but opposite force. Neither you nor the wall will move. Forces that cause a change in the motion of an object are unbalanced forces.

n musical notation, stems are the, "thin, vertical lines that are directly connected to the [note] head." Stems may point up or down. ... There is an exception to this rule: if a chord contains a second, the stem runs between the two notes with the higher being placed on the right of the stem and the lower on the left.

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved: Group of answer choices only when no external
uysha [10]

The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

<h3>Conservation of mechanical energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that the total mechanical energy of an isolated system (absence of external force) is always constant.

M.A = P.E + K.E

where;

P.E is potential energy

K.E is kinetic energy

Thus, the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of a system of objects is conserved only when no external force acts on the objects.

A 65.0-kg runner has a speed of 5.20 m/s at one instant dur- ing a long-distance event. (a) What is the runner’s kinetic energy
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J      

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m = 65 kg

Initial speed ,u = 5.2 m/s

a)

We know that kinetic energy KE is given as follows

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

m=mass

u=velocity

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

KE=878.8 J

b)

We know that

Work done by all forces = Change in the kinetic energy

The final velocity , v= 2 u = 2 x 5.2 m/s

v= 10.4 m/s

W=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2-\dfrac{1}{2}mu^2

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 10.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 65\times 5.2^2\ J

W=2636.4 J

a)KE=878.8 J

b)W=2636.4 J
