Complete Question

A small car and an SUV are at a stoplight. The car has amass equal to half that of the SUV, and the SUV's engine can produce a maximum force equal to twice that of the car. When the light turns green, both drivers floor it at the same time. Which vehicle pulls ahead of the other vehicle after a few seconds?

a) It is a tie.

b) The SUV

c) The car

Answer:

The correct option is  a

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The mass of the car is m_c

     The force of the car is  F

       The mass of the SUV is  m_s  =  2 m_c

       The force of the SUV is F_s  = 2 F

Generally force  of the car is mathematically represented as

        F= m_ca_c

a_c is acceleration of the car

Generally force  of the car is mathematically represented as

       F_s  =  m_s * a_s

a_s is acceleration of the SUV

=>   2 F =  2 m_c a_s

       F = m_c a_s

=>    m_c a_s  = m_ca_c

So  a_s  =  a_c

  This means that the acceleration of both the car and the SUV are the same

Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water. a. The water phase with the highest heat capacity is gas vapor. b.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

D. The ice-to-liquid phase change of water requires less energy than the liquid-to-vapor phase.

Explanation:

In the phase change from liquid to gas, the bonds between atoms are completely broken. The phase change from liquid to gas requires more energy because the bonds must be completely broken for it to take place, rather than just loosened as in the phase change of solid to liquid.

Phase changes can have a strong stabilizing effect on temperatures that are not near the melting and boiling points, since evaporation and condensation occur even at temperatures below the boiling point.

More energy is required to evaporate water below the boiling point than at the boiling point, because the kinetic energy of water molecules at temperatures below 100°C is less than that at 100°C, so less energy is available from random thermal motions.

Imagine a raindrop starting from rest in a cloud 2 km in the air. If it fell with no air friction at all, it would accelerate to
LenKa [72]

Answer:

2) 433 mph

Explanation:

The final velocity of the raindrop as it reaches the ground can be found by using the equation for a uniformly accelerated motion:

v^2 = u^2 + 2ad

where

v is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity (the raindrop starts from rest)

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

d = 2 km = 2000 m is the distance covered

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{u^2 +2gd}=\sqrt{0^2+2(9.8 m/s^2)(2000)}=198 m/s

And keeping in mind that

1 mile = 1609 metres

1 hour = 3600 s

The speed converted into miles per hour is

v=198 \frac{m}{s}\cdot \frac{3600 s/h}{1609 m/mi}=433 mph

A proton has a magnetic field due to its spin on its axis. the field is similar to that created by a circular current loop 0.650
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

\tau=3.48*10^{-26}Nm  

Explanation:

The torque equation is given by:

\tau=IABsin(\theta)

Where:

  • I is the current
  • A is the area of the loop (A=πR²)
  • θ is the angle between the normal vector of A and B, in this case it is 90 degrees

So:

\tau=1.05*10^{4}*\pi *(0.65*10^{-15})^{2}*2.5  

Therefore the torque is:

\tau=3.48*10^{-26}Nm    

I hope it helps you!
