If you are about to be hit from behind, your best course of action is to brake gently and stop the car.

ANSWER: B. False

Stopping when there is a speeding car about to hit you from behind would be the most illogical thing to do as this would increase the impact of collision. This is because you will certainly be propelled forwards with a speed as fast as the car behind you. This is according to the concept of momentum and collisions.

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,    

             Potential energy = kinetic energy

   mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}

                  I = \frac{mr^{2}}{2}

          \omega = \frac{v}{r}

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]

             g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

             9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

                  v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

A very long solid insulating cylinder has radius R = 0.1 m and uniform charge density rho0= 10-3 C/m3. Find the electric field a
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c

Explanation:

Given that:

\rho_o = (10^{-3} ) \ c/m^3

R = (0.1) m

To find  the electric field for r < R by using Gauss Law

{\oint}E^{\to}* da^{\to} = \dfrac{Q_{enclosed}}{\varepsilon_o} --- (1)

For r < R

Q_{enclosed}=(\rho) ( \pi r^2 ) l

E*(2 \pi rl)= \dfrac{\rho ( \pi r ^2 l)}{\varepsilon_o}

E= \dfrac{\rho ( r)}{2 \varepsilon_o}

where;

\varepsilon_o = 8.85 \times 10^{-12}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E= \dfrac{10^{-3} ( r)}{2 (8.85 \times 10^{-12})}

E   = (0.56 \times 10^8 ) r   \   \ N/c
