The cup is acted upon by an unbalanced force which is the cars acceleration, but before it was an object at rest that stayed at rest. This jet propels their body forward.
KIM [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The cup is acted upon by an unbalanced force which is the acceleration of the car, but before it was an object at rest that stayed at rest.

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states, "if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force."

Since the cup is at rest while sitting on top of the car, it stays at rest as the car begins to move. Since the car is accelerating and the cup is not, the cup falls off of the car.

In which situation is maximum work considered to be done by a force?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

A) When the angle between the Force (F) and Displacement (x) is 0°, because, Work done (W) is directly proportional to the Cosine of the Angle between the Force applied and the resultant displacement of the subject.

W = F•x cos ∅

If ∅ = 0°,

W = F•x ===> Maximum Work Done.

If ∅ = 45°,

W = F•x/√2

If ∅ = 90°,

W = 0

If ∅ = 180°,

W = –F•x ===> Minimum Work Done.

A highway patrol car traveling a constant speed of 105 km/h is passed by a speeding car traveling 140 km/h. Exactly 1.00 s after
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The elapsed time from when the speeder passes the patrol car until it is caught is 9.24 s.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The position of the patrol car at a time "t" can be calculated using this equation:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the patrol car at a time "t"

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

a = acceleration.

For the speeding car, the equation is the same only that the acceleration is zero. Then, the equation gets reduced to this:

x = x0 + v · t

Where "v" is the constant velocity.

First, let´s convert the velocity units into m/s:

140 km/h · 1000 m / 1 km · 1 h / 3600 s = 38.9 m/s

105 km/h · 1000 m / 1 km · 1 h / 3600 s = 29.2 m/s

We have to find how much time it takes the patrol car to catch the speeder after the speeder passes the patrol car.

When the patrol car catches the speeder, the position of both cars is the same:

position of the patrol car = position of the speeder

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

if we place the origin of the frame of reference at the point where the patrol car starts accelerating (1 s after the speeder passes the patrol car) then, the initial position of the patrol car will be zero, while the initial position of the speeder will be the traveled distance in 1 s:

x = v · t

x = 38.9 m/s · 1 s = 38.9 m

When the patrol car accelerates, the speeder is 38.9 m ahead of it. Then:

x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t² = x0 + v · t

0 + 29.2 m/s · t + 1/2 · 3.50 m/s² · t² = 38.9 m + 38.9 m/s · t

Let´s agrupate terms and equalize to zero:

-38.9 m - 38.9 m/s · t + 29.2 m/s · t + 1.75 m/s² · t² = 0

-38.9 m - 9.70 m/s · t + 1.75 m/s² · t² = 0

Solving the quadratic equation for t using the quadratic formula:

t = 8.24 s  (the other solution is discarded because it is negative)

The elapsed time from when the speeder passes the patrol car until it is caught is (8.24 s + 1.00) 9.24 s.

What two factors affect the rate of acceleration of an object?
Masja [62]

For help with this answer, we look to Newton's second law of motion:

     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Since the question seems to focus on acceleration, let's get
'acceleration' all alone on one side of the equation, so we can
really see what's going on.

Here's the equation again:

                                                 Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by 'mass',
and we have:                            Acceleration = (force) / (mass) .

Now the answer jumps out at us:  The rate of acceleration of an object
is determined by the object's mass and by the strength of the net force
acting on the object.

Which is the best insulator? metal, glass, plastic, or Styrofoam?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Styrofoam would be the best insulator because it traps the air in small pockets, blocking the flow of heat energy.
