Answer:

t = 14 seconds

Explanation:

As we know that the speed of the car which passes the police car is 21 m/s

so the distance moved by that car in next "t" seconds is given as

d = v t

d = (21) t

now we know that police car starts from rest at constant acceleration a = 3 m/s/s

so the distance moved by that car is given as

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2} at^2

d = 0 + \frac{1}{2}3 t^2

now if police catch the speeding car after "t" seconds so we have

21 t = \frac{1}{2}(3) t^2

t = 14 s

Answer:

14 seconds

Explanation:

Distance covered by sports car is measured with 21*t where t is time.

Distance covered by police is measured with at^2/2(t-time, a-acceleration) as it doesnt have starting velocity. If the distances are equal(police catches sport car)

then we have 21t=3/2*t^2 Solving this equation we get t=14 & t=0;

excluding the starting point we have 14 seconds

The four wheels of a car are connected to the car's body by spring assemblies that let the wheels move up and down over bumps an
maksim [4K]

Answer:

The approximate  spring constant is  k =  55533.33 \  N/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  mass of the person is  m =  68 \ kg

     The  dip of the car is  x =  1.2 \ cm  =  0.012 \ m

Generally according to hooks law  

        F  =  k * x

here the force F is the weight of the person which is mathematically represented as

         F =  m * g

=>    m * g  =  k * x

=>     k  =  \frac{m * g }{x }

=>    k  =  \frac{68 *  9.8}{ 0.012}

=>   k =  55533.33 \  N/m

Explain why a cow that touches an electric fence experiences a mild shock
Minchanka [31]
The voltage exists between the fence and the ground.  The cow is grounded. The cow is touching the ground, completing the circuit of electricity. <span>When the cow comes into contact with the fence, it becomes an electric ground which sends an electric current into the cow, through the cow, and into the ground. The pain experienced from the shock is due to the current that flows through the cow.</span>
