A 920-kg sports car collides into the rear end of a 2300-kg SUV stopped at a red light. The bumpers lock, the brakes are locked,

and the two cars skid forward 2.4 m before stopping. The police officer, estimating the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and road to be 0.80, calculates the speed of the sports car at impact. What was the speed of the sports car at impact?

Answer:21.45 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of sport car=920 kg

Mass of SUV=2300 kg

distance to which both car skid is 2.4 m

coefficient of friction (\mu)=0.8

Let u be the initial velocity of both car at the starting of skidding

and they finally come to zero velocity

v^2-u^2=2as

acceleration=\mu g=0.8\times 9.8=7.84 m/s^2

s=2.4 m

0-(u)^2=2\times (-7.84)\times 2.4

u=6.13 m/s

so before colliding sport car must be travelling at a speed of

920\times v=(920+2300)\times 6.13  (conserving momentum)

v=21.45 m/s

How long does a player sit out of a game of handball for committing a second or third foul?
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

Walking’ - If a handball player takes more than three steps without dribbling (bouncing the ball) or holds the ball for more than 3 seconds without bouncing it, shooting or passing, then that is deemed ‘walking' and possession is lost.

'Double dribble’ - Handball players cannot receive the ball and bounce it, then hold the ball, and bounce it again. This is termed ‘double dribble’ and is against the rules.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Part B  Mica- mylar- paper- quartz

Explanation:

The capacity of a capacitor is given by

           C = ε ε₀ A / d

Where the dielectric constant (ε) is the value of the material between the plates of the capacitor, we see that as if value increases the capacity also increases.

Another magnitude that we must take into account that the maximum working voltage, the greater the safer is the capacitor

the flexibility of the material must also be taken into account

Part A the answer is the dielectric constant.

Pate B order the materials from best to worst

Mica. The best ever

Mylar Flexible

Paper Low capacity, low working voltage, flexible

Quartz high dielectric, but brittle

professor190 [17]

Answer:

A. polymerization

Explanation:

Synthetic plastics are made by linking many simple carbon molecules together to form much larger molecules. This process is called polymerization.

Synthetic or artifical giant molecules consists of synthetic polymers such as plastics, elastomers etc. They are made up of simple monomers which links to form the complex and giant structure.

Monomers are the simplest unit of polymers. Polymers have very great sizes. The size mkaes their structure quite complex. This makes the molecules more disposed in a regular pattern with respect to one another.

The complexity of structure and the attendant effects accounts for the properties and uses that makes synthetic molecules very unique. For example, plastics can be extruded as sheets, pipes and or moulded into other objects.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

KE₂ = 4KE₁

Explanation:

KE₁ = ½mv₁²

KE₂ = ½mv₂²

KE₂ = ½m(2v₁)²

KE₂ = 4(½mv₁²)

KE₂ = 4KE₁

what is a hypothesis reffered to as after being verified by a large number or independent experiments
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The hypothesis may or may not be true and needs to be tested. It might be the answer to the problem. Hence, it must be tested thoroughly. When these predictions are tested again and again in independent scientific experiments and gets verified, the hypothesis is converted into a scientific theory.
