Answer:

Yes, the car driver is exceeding the given limit.

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Speed of the car, v = 38.0 m/s.
  • Speed limit of the highway, \rm v_o=75.0\ mi/h.

<h2><u>Converting the speed limit from mi/h to m/s:</u></h2>

We know,

1 mi = 1.60934 km.

1 km = 1000 m.

Therefore, 1 mi = 1.60934 × 1000 m = 1609.34 m.

1 hour = 60 minutes.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

Therefore, 1 hour = 60 × 60 seconds = 3600 seconds.

Using these values,

\rm 1\ \dfrac{mi}{h}=\dfrac{1609.34\ m}{3600\ s}=0.447\ m/s.

Therefore,

\rm v_o = 75.0\ mi/h=75.0\times 0.447=33.52\ m/s.

Clearly,

\rm v_o

which means, the car driver is exceeding the given speed limit.

9. Which of the following characteristics of water is most responsible for the sinking of the Titanic? A. Water is liquid at roo
lozanna [386]

Answer:

D. Frozen water is less dense than liquid water.

Explanation:

Titanic sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the year 1912. There were more than 2000 passengers on board from which about 1500 died.

Frozen water that is ice has less density than liquid water. The density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm^3 and the density of the water is 0.9998 g/cm^3.

Due to this very slight difference in density, ice floats on water. Titanic, on the night of April 14, 1912, crashed into an iceberg around midnight which caused opening of 5 of its watertight compartments. The water filled into the ship and it eventually sank in.

A bucket filled woth water seems light while it sinks into water.Also show their relation using formula
slavikrds [6]

Answer: This phenomenon happens due to upthrust exerted by water.

Explanation:

We know that,

Liquid Pressure is directly proportional to the height of the vertical column in the liquid.(P∝h)

When a bucket filled water is sunk into the water container, there occur difference in the pressure in top and bottom of the water container. Due to this, water exerts an upward force on the bucket filled with water. This is called Uprthrust.

Upthrust on the bucket makes the bucket filled with water lose some of it's weight and causes apparent loss in weight.

Hence, the bucket filled with water seems light while it sinks into water.

Since Mars is smaller, how can it have an equal landmass?
Kruka [31]
With smaller mass, object should be more denser in order to have equal landmass.

Mars should be more denser, if it has equal landmass.

But in reality, it's landmass is not equal 'cause it's density is about 72% of that of earth.

Hope this helps!
