Sam and George are riding in separate cars on the freeway. The lanes they are driving in are adjacent. We choose our coordinate

system so that both are traveling into the positive x-direction. Sam travels at 65 mph and George travels at 72 mph. (a) What is Sam’s velocity relative to George? (b) What is George’s velocity relative to Sam?

Answer:

(a) Relative speed of Sam = -7 mph

(b) Relative speed of George = 7 mph

Explanation:

We have given speed of Sam 65 mph in north direction.

And speed of George is 72 mph also in north direction

We have find the relative velocity of both Sam and George

(a) Speed of Sam relative to George = speed of Sam - speed of George = 65 -72 = -7 mph

(b) Speed of George with respect to Sam = speed of George - speed of Sam = 72-65 = 7 mph

The frequency of a person's pendulum is 0.3204 Hz when at a location where g is known to be exactly 9.800 m/s^2.
wel

Answer:

A) g = 9.751 m/s², B)       h = 2.573 10⁴ m

Explanation:

The angular velocity of a pendulum is

           w = √ g / L

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

          w = 2π f

          f = 1 / 2π √ g / L

A) with the initial data we can look for the pendulum length

        L = 1 /4π²   g / f²

        L = 1 /4π²   9,800 / 0.3204²

        L = 2.4181 m

The length of the pendulum does not change, let's look for the value of g for the new location

        g = 4π² f²  L

        g = 4π² 0.3196²  2.4181

        g = 9.75096 m / s²

         g = 9.751 m/s²

B) The value of the acceleration of gravity can be found with the law of universal gravitation

           F = G m M / R_{e}²

And Newton's second law

           W = m g

           W = F

         G m M / R_{e}² = mg

         g = G M / R_{e}²

         R_{e}² = G M / g

Let's calculate

          R_{e}² = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ /9.75096

          R = √ 4.0905 10¹³ = √ 40.9053 10¹²

          R = 6.395726 10⁶ m

The height above sea level is

         h = R - [tex]R_{e}[/tex

         h = (6.395726 -6.37) 10⁶

         h = 0.0257256 106

         h = 2.573 10⁴ m

When the leveling bulb is higher than the water level, the pressure in the system is greater than atmospheric pressure.
malfutka [58]

When the leveling bulb is higher than the water level, the pressure in the system is greater than atmospheric pressure. This statement is true.

In the physical sciences, pressure is defined as the stress at a point within a confined fluid or the perpendicular force per unit area. A 42-pound box with a bottom area of 84 square inches will impose pressure on a surface equal to the force divided by the area it is applied to, or half a pound per square inch.

Atmospheric pressure, which is roughly 15 pounds per square inch at sea level, is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on each unit area of the Earth's surface. Pascals are used to express pressure in SI units; one pascal is equivalent to one newton per square meter. Almost 100,000 pascals of atmospheric pressure are present.

a metal of length 15.04cm is heated until its temperature rises by 65°c. if its new length is 16.00m calculate its linear expans
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

ΔL = L0 C ΔT

We need to find C the constant of expansivity

C = ΔL / (L0 ΔT)

C = .96 / (15.04 * 65) = 9.82 * 10^-4 / deg C
