Answer:

Mass of the car is independent of gravity

Explanation:

Here, we want to state the reason why even though we have the acceleration due to gravity absent on the moon, it is still difficult to accelerate a car on a level horizontal level on the moon.

The answer to this is that the mass of the car that we want to accelerate is independent of gravity.

Had it been that gravity has an effect on the mass of the said car, then we might conclude that it will not be difficult to accelerate the car on a horizontal surface on the moon.

But due to the fact that gravity has no effect on the mass of the car to be accelerated, then the problem we have on earth with accelerating the car is the same problem we will have on the moon if we try to accelerate the car on a horizontal level surface.

What does wave speed have to do with all SONAR AND RADAR technologies?

Elena L [17]

Explanation:

1) Radar uses radio waves, which are a type of electromagnetic energy. Sonar uses the echo principle by sending out sound waves underwater or through the human body to locate objects. Sound waves are a type of acoustic energy. Because of the different type of energy used in radar and sonar, each has its own applications.

2)Radar systems operate using radio waves primarily in air, while sonar systems operate using sound waves primarily in water (Minkoff, 1991). Despite the difference in medium, similarities in the principles of radar and sonar can frequently result in technological convergence.

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m= $2.1\times 10^3 kg$

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

$\theta=19^{\circ}$

Average friction force,f= $4.0\times 10^3 N$

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force, $F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3$

Where $g=9.8 m/s^2$

Acceleration, $a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}$

$v=\sqrt{2as}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}$

v=3.9 m/s

Which of ONE of the following four elements has the most metallic properties?

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

12 (Magnesium- Mg)

Explanation:

Looking at the four numbers, we have:

Magnesium, Silicon, Sulfur, and Chlorine.

We can eliminate two of the answers immediately just by looking at the periodic table.

Sulfur and Chlorine are on the nonmetal side of the periodic table. So that's definitely not it. That leaves Magnesium and Silicon.

Silicon is a Metalloid. Magnesium is an Alkaline earth Metal.

Metaloids are elements that have a mix of both metal and nonmetal properties (luster, how it feels, etc.). Since it's a MIX and Magnesium is just straight METAL-

We can say Magnesium has the most metallic properties.

hope this helps!!
