An automobile with a mass of 1450 kg is parked on a moving flatbed railcar; the flatbed is 1.50 m above the ground. The railcar

has a mass of 38500 kg and is moving to the right at a constant speed of 8.70 m/s on a frictionless rail. The automobile them accelerates to the left, leaving the railcar at a speed of 22.0 m/s with respect to the ground. When the automobile lands, what is the distance D between it and the left end of the railcar?

The half life of radium 222 is 38 seconds if you had a 12 gram sample how much would be left after 72 seconds
poizon [28]
<span>3.2 grams The first thing to do is calculate how many half lives have expired. So take the time of 72 seconds and divide by the length of a half life which is 38 seconds. So 72 / 38 = 1.894736842 So we're over 1 half life, but not quite 2 half lives. So you'll have something less than 12/2 = 6 grams, but more than 12/4 = 3 grams. The exact answer is done by dividing 12 by 2 raised to the power of 1.8947. So let's calculate 2^1.8947 power = 12 g / (e ^ ln(2)*1.8947) = 12 g / (e ^ 0.693147181 * 1.8947) = 12 g / (e ^ 1.313305964) = 12 g / 3.718446464 = 3.227154167 g So rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.2 grams.</span>

A car with four passengers will have a shorter braking distance than a car with one braking distance. True or false. Why?
Valentin [98]

<u>Answer:</u>

The given statement is a True statement

<u>Explanation:</u>

All cars and trucks have load capacities marked on the jamb of the driver's door, as well as the owner's manual. This is very significant for braking distance.

A heavier object will require much more braking force and distance to stop, due to New ton's law of motion. “ An object in motion will tend to stay in motion “ .A heavy object will remain in motion longer and require much more force to stop. Four wheel disc brakes are great compared to front disc and rear drum configuration, in dissipating heat, and stopping more efficiently.

A car’s tire rotates 5.25 times in 3 seconds. What is the tangential velocity of the tire?
Lena [83]

The tangential velocity of the car's tire is the product of the angular velocity and radius of the car's tire which is 11(r) m/s.

<h3>Angular velocity of the tire</h3>

The angular velocity of the tire is the rate of change of angular displacement of the tire with time.

The magnitude of the angular velocity of the tire is calculated as follows;

ω = 2πN

where;

  • N is the number of revolutions per second

ω = 2π x (5.25 / 3)

ω =  11 rad/s

<h3>Tangential velocity of the tire</h3>

The tangential velocity of the car's tire is the product of the angular velocity and radius of the car's tire.

The magnitude of the tangential velocity is caculated as follows;

v = ωr

where;

  • r is the radius of the car's tire

v = 11r m/s
