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}

After you enlarge a map, which one of the following scale remains correct?
9966 [12]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

An scale is the factor by which actual features on ground are enlarged or reduced for representing on a plane. There are different kinds of scales:

  • Verbal scale use of words to represent scale information on the map.  The distance or linear units are used for depicting this scale on the map.  For example: 1 inch = 1 Kilo meter.
  • Fractional scale uses the numbers or values for showing the scale instead of words. As the name says, it is represented using a fraction or ratio.  Example: 1: 10,000 or 1/10,000
  • In large scale more details are shown in a map, however, less area coverage will be shown in a single map as the scale is large and more details are given.  Example: 1:500
  • Small scale is exactly opposite to the large scale, less details are shown as magnification is not enough, however a large amount of area can be shown in a single map.  Example: 1:25,000
  • A graphic scale is a bar that has been calibrated to show map distances. On maps that have been reduced or enlarged the original ratio and written scales are incorrect, since the relationship between map distance and real world distance has been altered, graphic scale is enlarged or reduced to the same extent as the map, this makes it the right option.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

hooke's law is described mathematically using the formula fsp=-kx. which statement is correct about spring force, fsp? A. It is
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A. It is always a positive force

Explanation:

Hooke's law describes the relation between an applied force and extension ability of an elastic material. The law states that provided the elastic limit, e, of a material is not exceeded, the force, F, applied is proportional to the extension, x, provided temperature is constant.

i.e F = - kx

where k is the constant of proportionality, and the minus sign implies that the force is a restoring force.

The applied force can either be compressing or stretching force.

The experimentation step of scientific inquiry involves _______.
Hoochie [10]
<span>The answer is letter D.

The most important step in formulation a scientific inquiry is to first formulate a question. All answers sprung from a question that scratched the mind. Experimentation is not possible without the need to question, with this, the drive to find the answers is what motivates scientists or people involved in an experiment to find the answers that would suffice their curiosity. Questions are the basis of all the other choices above and is the most crucial step in the scientific inquiry.<span>
