A Dodge Stealth is driving at 70 mph on a highway. It passes a BMW going the same direction. The BMW is moving 7 mph backward relative the Dodge. 63 mph is the velocity of the BMW

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given is the speed of the dodge stealth as 70 mph passing by the BMW moving with 7 mph relative to Dodge. Thereby, to calculate the velocity of BMW, relative velocity concept has to be employed.  

As we know that the relative velocity tells us about relative velocity of mobile reference system as the difference or sum of the initial reference system.

Therefore,

velocity of the BMW =  v_{b}

Velocity of the dodge = v_{d}

Velocity of the BMW with respect to dodge = V_{b d}

As per the formula,

                     v_{b d}=v_{b}-v_{d}

        v_{b} = v_{d} + v_{b d} = 70 + (-7) = 70 - 7 = 63 \mathrm{mph}

A hypothetical planet has a mass 2.81 times that of Earth, but the same radius.
patriot [66]

The acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

<h3>Acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet</h3>

g = GM/R²

where;

  • G is universal gravitation constant
  • M is mass of the planet
  • R is radius of the planet
  • g is acceleration due to gravity = ?

g = (6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 2.81 x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / (6371 x 10³)²

g = 27.38 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is 27.38 m/s².

A sample of a gas has a volume of 639 cm3 when the pressure is 75.9 kPa. What is the volume of the gas when the pressure is incr
const2013 [10]

Answer:

388 cm^3

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use Boyle's law, which states that for a gas at constant temperature, the product between pressure and volume remains constant:

pV=const.

which can also be rewritten as

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

In our case, we have:

p_1 = 75.9 kPa is the initial pressure

V_1 = 639 cm^3 is the initial volume

p_2 = 125 kPa is the final pressure

Solving for V2, we find the final volume:

v_2 = \frac{p_1 V_1}{p_2}=\frac{(75.9)(639)}{125}=388 cm^3

A diver shines an underwater searchlight at the surface of a pond (n = 1.33). At what angle (relative to the surface) will the l
allsm [11]

Answer:

41.2°

Explanation:

Total internal reflection is the reflection of the incident ray at the interface between two media in which one of the media has a lower refractive index than the other. It occurs when the angle of incidence in the denser medium exceeds the critical angle.

The critical angle is the angle of incidence in the denser medium when the angle of incidence in the less dense medium is 90°.

Since

n= 1/sin C

C= sin^-(1/n)

C= sin^-(1/1.33)

C= 48.8°

Hence angle of incidence= 90-48.8 = 41.2°
