Answer:

No

Explanation:

It is well explained in the question itself that the accident took place at mid night on a full moon.

At mid night , the moon will be high on sky, it will not be rising.

So the statement of driver is false as there will not be any moon rising on eastern horizon when moon is already at the highest on sky.

This shows he is certainly lying and police should not believe him.

At full moon the moon is directly opposite the sun as viewed from earth.

That is, when the sun is setting the moon is rising. At midnight a full

moon would be directly overhead.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

Explanation:

a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.

2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km

Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.

2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km

Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.

Statement A is greater than statement B.

b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F

(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km

Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).

2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km

3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km

2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km

Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km

Statement A is equal to statement B

1. Most PE, because PE is directly proportional to distance (height)
Height: 100 meters
Speed: 0 mph

2. Most KE, because KE is directly proportional to speed
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

3. Most TE, average KE
Height: 10 meters
Speed: 40 mph

4. The skater gains thermal energy as she goes down the slope, because the speed of the skater increases, so it increases the total kinetic energy of the particles, and makes them vibrate faster, resulting in a higher temperature.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

30m/s

Explanation:

  • Use formula for height calculation: Time = √2h/√g
  • From here calculate height which comes out to be: 45m(if g is taken 10)
  • Then use formula for velocity calculation: v = √2gh

  • The velocity comes out to be 30m/s
