A car accident occurs around midnight on the night of a full moon. The driver at fault claims he was blinded momentarily by the

Moon rising on the eastern horizon. Should the police believe him?

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.

Two objects, C & D, have the same momentum. Object C has ½ the mass of object D. Find the value of the ratio of velocity C t
Savatey [412]
These are two questions and two answers.

Part 1. Fin the value of the ration of velocity C to velocity D.


Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) Formula: momentum = mass * velocity

2) momentum C = mass C * velocity C

3) momentum D = mass D * velocity D.

4) C and D have the same momentum =>

mass C * velocity C = mass D * velocity D

5) mass C = (1/2) mass D => mass C / mass C = 1/2

6) use in the equation stated in the point 4)

velocit C / velocity D = mass D / mass C

using the equation stated in point 5:

mass D / mass C = 1 / [ mass C / mass D] = 1 / [1/2] = 2

=>

7) velocity C / velocity D = mass D / mass C = 2

Part 2: <span>ratio of kinetic energy C to kinetic energy D.
</span>
Answer: 2

Explanation:

1) formula: kinetic energy KE = (1/2) mass * (velocity)^2

2) KE C = (1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2

3) KE D = (1/2) mass D * (velocity D)^2

4) KE C / KE D =

(1/2) mass C * (velocity C)^2        mass C        (velocity C)^2
--------------------------------------- = --------------- * ---------------------- = (1/2) * (2)^2
(1/2) mass D *( velocity D)^2        mass D        v(velocity D)^2

= 4 / 2 = 2

An effect analogous to two-slit interference can occur with sound waves, instead of light. In an open field, two speakers placed
Monica [59]

Answer:

2.72 m

Explanation:

wavelength of sound λ = velocity / frequency

= 340 / 1200

= .2833 m

Distance of point of  first constructive interference

= λ D / d ( D is distance of the screen and d is distance between source of sound.

Here D = 12.5 m

d = 1.3 m

λ D / d= ( .2833 x 12.5) / 1.3

= 2.72 m

Distance of point of  first constructive interference = 2.72 m

The Lotus Evija has an electric engine with 2000 horsepower. Which is equal to how
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

Power = 1471000[W]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the conversion factor of horsepower to Watts.

1 [Hp] → 735.5 [W]

Now using the conversion factor:

2000[Hp]*\frac{735.5W}{1Hp}=1471000[W]
