Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s . At the same instant, a fly

that travels at a constant speed of 2.40 m/s starts from the front roller of the southbound steamroller and flies to the front roller of the northbound one, then turns around and flies to the front roller of the southbound once again, and continues in this way until it is crushed between the steamrollers in a collision.
What distance does the fly travel?

Answer:

The fly travels 2.4 m

Explanation:

Since the Two steamrollers begin 100 m apart and head toward each other, each at a constant speed of 1.00 m/s, we can find the time until they crash by the formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

Time = Distance /Speed

Time = (100 m) / (1 m/s)

Time = 100 hours

Now, the fly will spend the same amount of time traveling as the steamrollers.

Since the fly moves at a speed of 2.4 m/s and we have a time of one hour the steamroller take to collide, then the fly will go a distance of;

Distance = speed x time = 2.4 × 1 = 2.4 m

A box rests on the (horizontal) back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface on which it
vredina [299]

Answer:

The distance is 11 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Friction coefficient = 0.24

Time = 3.0 s

Initial velocity = 0

We need to calculate the acceleration

Using newton's second law

F = ma...(I)

Using formula of friction force

F= \mu m g....(II)

Put the value of F in the equation (II) from equation (I)

ma=\mu mg....(III)

a = \mu g

Put the value in the equation (III)

a=0.24\times9.8

a=2.352\ m/s^2

We need to calculate the distance,

Using equation of motion

s = ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}2.352\times(3.0)^2

s=10.584\ m\ approx\ 11\ m

Hence, The distance is 11 m.

Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another and ends up as what?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

Explanation:

The solar energy cycle functions in the following form:

  • Considering that 100% of energy is directed at earth.
  • When 100% light is incident on the Earth's surface about 6-7% of it is reflected back by the atmosphere into space.
  • 20% is reflected back by the clouds.
  • And about 4% is reflected back by Earth's surface.
  • 16% of solar energy is absorbed by the atmosphere, 3% is absorbed by clouds and 51% is absorbed by  land and ocean.
  • From the absorbed energy, 64% is radiated back to space from clouds and atmosphere and 6% is directly radiated back to space from earth.
  • From the radiated energy 15% is absorbed by the atmosphere and 23% is carried by the clouds and atmosphere through the latent heat in water vapor.

Therefore, absorbed solar radiation undergoes irreversible degradations, transferring from reservoir to another converting from light energy to radiation energy.

Which of the following is generally true for people in their old age?
zhenek [66]

Answer:As people get older, most become better able to regulate negative feelings and emphasize the positive.

Explanation: With age, your skin thins and becomes less elastic and more fragile, and fatty tissue just below the skin decreases. You might notice that you bruise more easily. Decreased production of natural oils might make your skin drier. Wrinkles, age spots and small growths called skin tags are more common.

A 0.140 m high cylinder
solmaris [256]

Answer:

The value of pressure inside the cylinder is 18.68 K Pa.

Explanation:

Given data

Height h = 0.14 m

Density \rho = 13600 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

We know that

Pressure inside the cylinder is given by the formula

P = \rho g h ------- (1)

here

\rho = density of fluid = 13600 \frac{kg}{m^{3} }

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

h = height of the cylinder = 0.14 m

Put all the values in above equation

P = 13600 × 9.81 × 0.14

P = 18678.24 Pa

P = 18.68 K Pa

Therefore the value of pressure inside the cylinder is 18.68 K Pa
