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.

A 5000 g toy car starts from rest and moves a distance of 300 cm in 3 s under the action of a single constant force. Determine t
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

3.33 N

Explanation:

First, find the acceleration.

Given:

Δx = 3 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

t = 3 s

Find: a

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

3 m = (0 m/s) (3 s) + ½ a (3 s)²

a = ⅔ m/s²

Use Newton's second law to find the force.

F = ma

F = (5 kg) (⅔ m/s²)

F ≈ 3.33 N

Name two examples of deposition.
Rashid [163]
The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation. One example of deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid.
