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.

Why silicon have large forward current as compared to germanium?​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.

In the graph, which region shows nonuniform positive acceleration?
cricket20 [7]

Answer: A.AB

Explanation:

This Velocity vs Time graph shows the acceleration of a body or object, since acceleration is the variation of velocity in time.

As we can see in the attached image, the graph can be divided in four segments:

OA: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a positive slope, hence we are dealing with a positive uniform acceleration.

AB: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be positive. This means the <u>acceleration is nonuniform and positive.</u>

BC: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a nonuniform rate, since  in this part it is not possible to calculate the slope. However if this were uniform, the slope woul be negative. This means the acceleration is nonuniform and negative.

CD: In this segment the acceleration is changing at a uniform rate. In addition we can see it has a negative slope, hence we are dealing with a negative uniform acceleration.

From all these segments, the only one that fulfils the nonuniform positive acceleration condition is option A:

Segment AB

A pendulum clock gives correct time at 20°c how many sec/day will it gain or loose when the temperature fall to 5°c? cofficient
rewona [7]

Answer:

129.6 seconds

Explanation:

Given that :

α = 0.0002°c-1​

θ1 = 20°C

θ2 = 5°C

Time t = one day ; Converting to seconds ; number of seconds in a day ; (24 * 60 * 60) = 86400 seconds

Let dT= change in time

Using the relation :

dT = 0.5* α * dθ * t

dθ = (20 - 5) = 15°C

dT = 0.5 * 0.0002 * 15 * 86400

dT = 129.6 seconds
