Answer:

Back

Explanation:

As the vehicle is moving forward the <em>inertia</em> is keeping the occupants move at the same speed and with respect to the vehicle the occupants appear to be at rest. In case of rear collision, the vehicle will suddenly move forward while the occupants will be thrown towards the back of the vehicle.

The kinetic energy of a moving object is E=12mv2. A 61 kg runner is moving at 10kmh. However, her speedometer is only accurate t

jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

$e=3367.2J$

% $e=1.43$ %

Explanation:

From the exercise we know two information. The real speed and the experimental measured by the speedometer

$v_{r}=10km/h=2.77m/s$

Since the speedometer is only accurate to within 0.1km/h the experimental speed is

$v_{e}=10km/h-0.1km/h=9.9km/h=2.75m/s$

Knowing that we can calculate Kinetic energy for the real and experimental speed

$E_{r}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.77m/s)^2=234023J$

$E_{e}=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(61000g)(2.75m/s)^2=230656J$

Now, the potential error in her calculated kinetic energy is:

$e=E_{r}-E_{e}=(234023-230656)J=3367.2J$

% $e=\frac{E_{r}-E_{e}}{E_{r}}x100=\frac{(234023-230656)J}{234023J}x100=1.43$ %

PLz I Need Help PLZZZ ASAP

AURORKA [14]

As we are increasing the frequency in the simulation the wavelength is decreasing

So if speed remains constant then wavelength and frequency depends inversely on each other

If we are in boat and and moving over very small wavelengths then these small wavelength will be encountered continuously by the boat in short interval of times

As we are changing the amplitude in the simulation there is no change in the speed frequency and wavelength.

So amplitude is independent of all these parameter

Amplitude of wave will decide the energy of wave

So light of greater intensity is the light of larger amplitude

In our daily life we deal with two waves

1 sound waves

2 light waves
