Assume that the speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of 18.0 m/s. A car is moving at a constant speed of 14.0 m

/s along a straight road. A home owner sitting on his porch sees the car pass between two telephone poles in 8.89 s. How much time does the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles?

Answer:

Observed time, t = 5.58 s  

Explanation:

Given that,

Speed of light in a vacuum has the hypothetical value of, c = 18 m/s

Speed of car, v = 14 m/s along a straight road.

A home owner sitting on his porch sees the car pass between two telephone poles in 8.89 s.

We need to find the time the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles. The relation between real and observed time is given by :

T=\dfrac{t}{\sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} }

t is observed time.

t=T\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}} \\\\t=8.89\times \sqrt{1-\dfrac{14^2}{18^2}} \\\\t=5.58\ s

So, the time observed by the driver of the car measure for his trip between the poles is 5.58 seconds.

A technician is checking refrigerant system pressures. Both high- and low-side service ports are located on the A/C compressor.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Two major causes are outline bellow

1. The presence of air in the system

2. Clogged condenser

Explanation:

1. The presence of air in the system

One of the causes that have been established in relation to high compressor discharge pressure is the presence of air in the system. When this takes place, your best solution is to recharge the system.

2. Clogged condenser

Another is a clogged condenser in which case you will need to clean the condenser so that it will function properly. When you happen to spot that the discharge valve is closed and it is causing high discharge pressure on the compressor, you can solve that easily by opening the valve

a bike is moving with a velocity of 90km/hr.after applying break it stops in 5 sec. calculate the force applied by brakes .mass
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

initial velocity(u) = 90 km/s = 25 m/s

time (t) = 5 sec

mass (m) = 200 kg 

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

v = u + at 

0 = 25 + a * 5

-25 = 5 a

-5 = a

Therefore acceleration = -5m/s²

Force = mass * acceleration 

F = 200*-5

F = -1000 N
