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.

Explain what a concentration gradient is and what it means for a molecule to diffuse down its
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Explanation:

A gradient of concentration is the difference between in concentration of one place / area substance to different area. Having a molecule flow down its concentration gradient means moving the molecules from hypotonic areas to the concentration hypertonic areas

Diffusing the gradient ensures that most of the molecules in high concentration zone will wind up in the previously low concentration by the spontaneous movement of small molecules.

Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Hello your question is poorly written below is the complete question

Suppose the battery in a clock wears out after moving Ten thousand coulombs of charge through the clock at a rate of 0.5 Ma how long did the clock run on does battery and how many electrons per second slowed?

answer :

a) 231.48 days

b) n = 3.125 * 10^15

Explanation:

Battery moved 10,000 coulombs

current rate = 0.5 mA

<u>A) Determine how long the clock run on the battery. use the relation below</u>

q = i * t ----- ( 1 )

q = charge , i = current , t = time

10000 = 0.5 * 10^-3 * t

hence  t = 2 * 10^7 secs

hence the time = 231.48  days

<u>B) Determine how many electrons per second flowed </u>

q = n*e ------ ( 2 )

n = number of electrons

e = 1.6 * 10^-19

q = 0.5 * 10^-3 coulomb ( charge flowing per electron )

back to equation 2

n ( number of electrons ) = q / e = ( 0.5 * 10^-3 ) / ( 1.6 * 10^-19 )

hence : n = 3.125 * 10^15

A golfer is on the edge of a 12.5 m bluff overlooking the 18th hole which is located 60 m from the base of the bluff. She launch
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

x=V_{o}cos \theta t----------------------(1)

y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}---------(2)

V=V_{o}-gt ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

V_{o} is the golf ball's initial velocity

\theta=0\° is the angle (it was  a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

y_{o} is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}

t=1.597s

Substituting (6) in (1):

67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597-------------------(4)

Step 2:  Finding V_{o}:

From equation(4)

67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597

V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}

V_{o}=42.01 m/s (8)  

Substituting V_{o} in (3):

V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)

v =42 .01 - 15.3566  

V=26.359 m/s

A stunt woman of mass m falls into a net during the filming of an action movie. Assume she experiences upward acceleration magni
Rashid [163]

Answer:

M= F^n / a+g

Explanation:

This shows correctly Newton’s second law, where sum of forces is divided by mass is equal to acceleration. Also mass can’t be negative so F^n is positive.
