The truck in the lead is covering 50 miles in one hour.
The car behind is covering 70 miles in one hour.
The car is covering 20 miles more than the truck in one hour.
So the car gets 20 miles closer to the truck in one hour.

Since they were 20 miles apart at the beginning of the story,
one hour is enough time for the car to catch up to the truck.

What wave on the electromagnetic spectrum has the highest frequency?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer: Gamma rays

Gamma rays have the highest frequency.

What is an electromagnetic wave?

An electromagnetic wave requires no medium for its propagation.

It consists of a spectrum of different wavelengths.

Different wavelengths of rays have different energies and different frequencies.

Higher frequency rays have the highest energies.

What is gamma-ray?

These are ionized radiations.

Gamma radiations are obtained from the decay of the atomic nucleus.

It has the highest frequency which is why it can penetrate through matter.

It has the smallest wavelength and highest energy.

The frequency of gamma rays is more than 10^19 cycles per second and wavelength less than 100 picometers.

A dynamite blast propels a heavy rock straight up with a launch velocity of 160ft/sec (about 109 mph). Write a position for the
Flura [38]
A) Using:
2as = v² - u², where v will be 0 at max height
s = -(160)² / 2 x -32.174
s = 397.8 ft

b) Using:
s = ut + 1/2 at²
256 = 160t - 16.1t²
solving for t,
t = 2.0, t = 7.9
Now, v = u + at, for both times:
v(2) = 160 - 32.174(2)
v(2) = 95.7 ft/sec on the way up

v(7.9) = 160 - 32.174(7.9)
v(7.9) = -94.3 ft/sec; 94.3 ft/sec on the way down

c) -32.174 ft/s², which is the acceleration due to gravity.

d) s = 0
0 = 160t - 1/2 x 32.174t²
t = 9.94 seconds

What has more gravity-Earth's moon or the Sun?Why?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

scZoUnD [109]

The grand canal was built to make easier the transportation of grains to the power center of north china.

<h3>How was the Grand Canal built?</h3>

The canal was built in order to connect the Yellow River in the north with the Yangtze River in the south. This canal is built for making easier the transportion of grain from the south to the centers of north China. The total length of the Grand Canal is 1,776 km.

So we can conclude that the grand canal was built to make easier the transportation of grains to the power center of north china.

How to find final velocity and initial velocity and acceleration ? :(
Effectus [21]

Explanation:

Final velocity=Initial velocity+(acceleration×time)

4 ways to find initial velocity:

1) Initial velocity=Final velocity-(acceleration×time)

2) Initial velocity=(Distance/Time)-((acceleration×time)/2)

3) Initial velocity=√Final velocity-(2×(acceleration×distance))

4) Initial velocity=2(distance/time)-Final velocity

Total force = Mass×Acceleration

(F=ma)
