If you look two surfaces at microscopic level, you'll see that they have tiny interlocks. When you bring two surfaces in contact, they are held together strongly because of this interlocks which makes two objects difficult to perform motion.

A radar used to detect the presence of aircraft receives a pulse that has reflected off an object 5 ✕ 10−5 s after it was transm
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

7500 m

Explanation:

The radar emits an electromagnetic wave that travels towards the object and then it is reflected back to the radar.

We can call L the distance between the radar and the object; this means that the electromagnetic wave travels twice this distance, so

d = 2L

In a time of

t=5\cdot 10^{-5}s

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is equal to

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Since the electromagnetic wave travels with constant speed, we can use the equation for uniform motion ,so:

d=vt (1)

where

v=c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

t=5\cdot 10^{-5}s

d=2L, where L is the distance between the radar and the object

Re-arranging eq(1) and substituting, we find L:

L=\frac{vt}{2}=\frac{(3.0\cdot 10^8)(5\cdot 10^{-5})}{2}=7500 m

When we see a meteor shower, it means that ________.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The meteor shower is the celestial activity in which meteors are observed to radiate or originate from one point.

Meteors are nothing but dust or ice from the trails of comets. Most of the meteors are less than the size of the sand particle.

We will see comet shower when we earth will cross the orbit of the comet.

Hence, the correct answer is option A

Two children, Ahmed and Jacques, ride on a merry-go-round. Ahmed is at a greater distance from the axis of rotation than Jacques
Alex

Answer:

A. Ahmed has a greater tangential speed than Jacques.

D. Jacques and Ahmed have the same angular speed.

Explanation:

Kinematics of the merry-go-round

The tangential speed of the merry-go-round is calculated using the following formula:

v = ω*R

Where:

v is the tangential speed in meters/second (m/s)

ω is the angular speed in radians/second (rad/s)

R is the angular speed in meters (m)

Data

dA = RA  : Ahmed distance to the axis of rotation

dJ = RJ   : Jacques distance to the axis of rotation

Problem development

We apply the formula (1)

v = ω*R

vA= ω*RA : Ahmed  tangential speed

vJ= ω*RJ  :  Jacques  tangential speed

Ahmed is at a greater distance from the axis of rotation than Jacques, then,

RA ˃ RJ and Ahmed and Jacques have the same  speed ω, then:

vA ˃ vJ
