Answer:

1.time zones

2.The coriolis effect

3. triangles

Explanation:

1. day and night happen at different times at different places; it's always day somewhere and night another.

2. the coriolis effect means freely moving things (like cannonballs or hurricane winds) are deflected to the right - but only if your north of the equator if you're south of the equator they're deflected left.

3. if you walk a certain distance and make three right angle you can successfully make a triangles with three 90 degree angles which is impossible on a flat surface.

A car that weighs 1.0 x 10^4 N is initially moving at a speed of 38 km/h when the brakes are applied and the car is brought to a

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Part a) Force on car = 2833.84 Newtons

Part b) Time to stop the car = 3.8 seconds

Part c) Factor for stopping distance is 4.

Part d) Factor for stopping time is 1.

Explanation:

The deceleration produced when the car is brought to rest in 20 meters can be found by third equation of kinematics as

$v^2=u^2+2as$

where

v = final speed of the car ( = 0 in our case since the car stops)

u = initial speed of the car = 38 km/hr = $\frac{38\times 1000}{3600}=10.56m/s$

a = deceleration produces

s = distance in which the car stops

Applying the given values we get

$0^2=10.56^2+2\times a\times 20\\\\a=\frac{0-10.56^2}{2\times 20}\\\\\therefore a=-2.78m/s^2$

Now the force can be obtained using newton's second law as

$Force=\frac{Weight}{g}\times a$

Applying values we get

$Force=\frac{1.0\times 10^4}{9.81}\times -2.78\\\\\therefore F=-2833.84Newtons$

The negative direction indicates that the force is opposite to the motion of the object.

Part b)

The time required to stop the car can be found using the first equation of kinematics as

$v=u+at$ with symbols having the same meanings

Applying values we get

$0=10.56-2.78\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{10.56}{2.78}=3.8seconds$

Part c)

From the developed relation of stopping distance we can see that the for same force( Same acceleration) the stopping distance is proportional to the square of the initial speed thus doubling the initial speed increases the stopping distance 4 times.

Part d)

From the relation of stopping time and the initial speed we can see that the stopping distance is proportional initial speed thus if we double the initial speed the stopping time also doubles.

A car was at a 30km marker and began to drive. The car passed a 90km marker and the time had changed 30

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

i think it's 2km pm

Explanation:

2km x 30 60.. start was 30, and now your at 90.. we had to determine how much time it took.. so 2 is the average.. or atleast per minute and sorry it i still didnt answer ur question lol im just trynna help

An airplane is flying at a speed of 200 m/s in level flight at an altitude of 800 m. A package is to be dropped from the airplan

MArishka [77]

Answer:

2560m or 2.56km (rounded to 3 significant figures)

Explanation:

First, list all known and desired values/variables (initial vertical velocity is 0 as the plane is kept level and vertical acceleration is just gravity):

$Vertical \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{v} = 0 \\\\ Horizontal \ velocity \ (\frac{m}{s} ) = u_{h} = 200\\\\ Vertical \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{v} = 9.8 \\\\ Horizontal \ acceleration \ (\frac{m}{s^{2} } ) = a_{h} = 0 \\\\ Vertical \ displacement \ (m) = s_{v} = 800 \\\\ Horizontal \ displacement \ (m) = s_{h}$

The horizontal displacement is going to be the distance travelled, horizontally of course, once the package is released;

First thing to understand is that the vertical and horizontal components are to be dealt with separately because they don't affect each other;

Since there is no horizontal acceleration (ignoring air resistance), we simply require a velocity and time to find the horizontal displacement, using the formula v = d/t (or speed = distance/time);

What we have is the horizontal velocity but we don't have the time taken;

One thing we know is that the time elapsed for the vertical fall of 800m and for the horizontal displacement must be the same;

What we do, therefore, is find the time taken for the vertical displacement using the formula, s = ut + ¹/₂·at², since we know the vertical velocity, height and acceleration:

800 = (0)t + ¹/₂·(9.8)t²

800 = 4.9t²

t² = 163.26...

t = 12.77...

We now have the time taken for the vertical fall and the horizontal displacement, we can use this with the horizontal velocity we know already and get the horizontal displacement:

$u_{h} = \frac{s_{h} }{t} \\\\ 200 = \frac{s_{h} }{12.77...} \\\\ s_{h} = 200(12.77...) \\\\ s_{h} = 2555.5...$

A small object of mass 3.82 g and charge -16.5 µC is suspended motionless above the ground when immersed in a uniform electric f

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

2271.16N/C upward

Explanation:

The diagram well illustrate all the forces acting on the mass. The weight is acting downward and the force is acting upward in other to balance the weight.since the question says it is motionless, then indeed the forces are balanced.

First we determine the downward weight using

$W=mg\\g=9.81m/s^{2}$

Hence for a mass of 3.82g 0r 0.00382kg we have the weight to be

$W=0.00382kg*9.81m/s^{2}$

$W=0.0375N$

To calculate the electric field,

$E=f/q\\E=0.0375/16.5*10^{-6} \\E=2271.16N/C$

Since the charge on the mass is negative, in order to generate upward force, there must be a like charge below it that is repelling it, Hebce we can conclude that the electric field lines are upward.

Hence the magnitude of the electric force is 2271.16N/C and the direction is upward
