What does it mean when we say "the acceleration due to gravity "

Physics
1 answer:
Orlov [11]4 years ago

Why can u compress gas particles but not liquid
Anna11 [10]

that is because in the gas particles there are more space while in the other hand why u can't compress liquid because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

Flash floods can cause vehicles to float and fill with water, trapping and drowning people. while especially dangerous at night
IceJOKER [234]
I think the answer is: 6 inches

On average, the distance between Car's engine to the ground is around 8-10 inches.. But for small cars, the distance between car's engine to the ground could be as low as 5 inches - 6 inches from the ground.

When the flood reach the car's engine level, the water will got into the engine and disrupt it function, causing the car became unable to work properly

A 4kg block slides freely across a rough surface such that the block slows down with an acceleration of −1.25 m/s2 . What is the
Sophie [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.127.

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a block, m = 4 kg

The acceleration of the block, a = -1.25 m/s²

We need to find the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface. The force of friction is given by :

F=\mu mg\\\\ma=\mu mg\\\\\mu=\dfrac{a}{g}\\\\\mu=\dfrac{1.25}{9.8}\\\\\mu=0.127

So, the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is 0.127.

A driver notices that her 1280 kg car slows down from 92 km/h to 68 km/h in about 7.5 s on the level when it is in neutral. Appr
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

P = 25299.75 watts

Since 80km/h is the average speed of 92km/h and 68km/h, the power (in watts) is needed to keep the car traveling at a constant 80 km/h is P = 25299.75 watts

Explanation:

Given;

Mass of car m = 1280kg

initial speed v1 = 92km/h = 92×1000/3600 m/s= 25.56m/s

Final speed v2 = 68km/h = 68×1000/3600 m/s= 18.89m/s

time taken t = 7.5s

Change in the kinetic energy of the car within that period;

∆K.E = 1/2 ×mv1^2 - 1/2 × mv2^2

∆K.E = 0.5m(v1^2 -v2^2)

Substituting the values, we have;

∆K.E = 0.5×1280(25.56^2 - 18.89^2)

∆K.E = 189748.16J

Power used during this Change;

Power P = ∆K.E/t

Substituting the values;

P = 189748.16/7.5

P = 25299.75 watts

Since 80km/h is the average speed of 92km/h and 68km/h, the power (in watts) is needed to keep the car traveling at a constant 80 km/h is P = 25299.75 watts

A quarterback throws a football with an angle of elevation 55° and speed 60 ft/s. Find the horizontal and vertical components o
EastWind [94]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity vector is;

vh = 34.4 ft/s

The vertical component of the velocity vector is;

vy = 49.1 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

Velocity of football v = 60 ft/s

Angle of elevation ∅ = 55°

The horizontal component of the velocity vector is;

vh = vcos∅

Substituting the values;

vh = 60cos55°

vh = 34.41458618106 ft/s

vh = 34.4 ft/s

The vertical component of the velocity vector is;

vy = vsin∅

Substituting the values;

vy = 60sin55°

vy = 49.14912265733 ft/s

vy = 49.1 ft/s
