Estimated by the observer.

Take a buret, you can read to the 0.1 mL directly from the device, but the amount may lie between the 0.1 marks so you can estimate how far between the marks the fluid lies.

The net horizontal force on a car is 981 N. The car has a mass of 1550 kg and the force is applied when the car has a speed of 2

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Distance, d = 778.05 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the car, F = 981 N

Mass of the car, m = 1550 kg

Initial speed of the car, v = 25 mi/h = 11.17 m/s

We need to find the distance covered by car if the force continues to be applied to the car. Firstly, lets find the acceleration of the car:

$F=ma\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{981}{1550}\\\\a=0.632\ m/s^2$

Let d is the distance covered by car. Using second equation of motion as :

$d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=11.17\times 35+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.632\times (35)^2\\\\d=778.05\ m$

So, the car will cover a distance of 778.05 meters.

Guillaume puts a bottle of soft drink in a refrigerator and leaves it there until its temperature has dropped 15.1 K.

Zarrin [17]

Answer: (a) The magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) The magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

Explanation:

(a) Expression for change in temperature is as follows.

$|\Delta T| = |x - y|K$

= 15.1 K

= $|(x - 273.15) - (y - 273.15)|^{o}C$

= $|x - y|^{o}C$

= $15.1^{o}C$

Therefore, the magnitude of its temperature change in degrees Celsius is $15.1^{o}C$ .

(b) Change in temperature from Celsius to Fahrenheit is as follows.

F = 1.8C + 32

C = $\frac{F - 32}{1.8}$

Since, K = C + 273

or, $\Delta K = \Delta C = \frac{\Delta F}{1.8}$

$\Delta F = 1.8 \Delta K$

= 1.8 (15.1)

= $27.18^{o}F$

or, = $27.2^{o}F$

Thus, we can conclude that the magnitude of the temperature change (change in T = 15.1 K) in degrees Fahrenheit is $27.2^{o}F$ .

Two parallel metal plates are at a distance of 8.00 m apart.The electric field between the plates is uniform directed towards th

yuradex [85]

Answer:

Explanation:

Formula E=F/C also E=V/d

In this case use the second formula; E=V/d

Data given; E=4N/C d=8m

So v=E X d

V=4x8=32V

k.e=eV= 2X32=64eV

Which of think following materials is the best is the best choice for an insulating material?

RSB [31]

You are correct, the answer is C.

Good insulators are materials that do not allow heat, electricity, light or sound pass through easily. Materials like steel and silver (which are metals) are not good insulators because they make good conductors. They easily allow heat, electricity and the like pass through them.

Thus, the answer is letter C. Rubber.
