Twoâ cars, 405 kilometersâ apart, begin driving toward each other on aâ long, straight highway. one car travels 70 kilometers pe

r hour and the other 65 kilometers per hour. at the sameâ time, aâ canary, starting on oneâ car, flies back and forth between the two cars as they approach each other. if the canary flies 100 kilometers per hour and spends no time to turn around at eachâ car, how far has it flown when the carsâ collide?

The space between the cars closes at (70+65)=135 km/hr. They collide in (405/135)=3 hours after they start moving. In 3 hours, the canary covers (100km/hr x 3)= 300 km.

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

A certain type of bird lives in two regions of a state. The distribution of weight for birds of this type in the northern region
Annette [7]

Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.

Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.

The z-score is calculated by the following:

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

where

x is the data point

μ is population mean

σ is standard deviation

For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:

μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z=\frac{13-10}{3}

z = 1

The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.

For the southern region:

μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z=\frac{13-16}{2.5}

z = -1.2

The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.

Suppose you are standing on a scale in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Will the scale read your weight as larger for sm
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

When I stand at such a scale in an elevated that's already rising upwards, its scale would appear to also be 0 because of free fall and would often reveal that weight whenever the lift is stable.  

In this, the free fall is also known as the object, that is influenced exclusively by gravity, and an object operating only through the influence of gravity is said to be in a free-fall state.

A stationary 12.5 kg object is located on a table near the surface of the earth. The coefficient of static friction between the
Sophie [7]

When the object is at rest, there is a zero net force due the cancellation of the object's weight <em>w</em> with the normal force <em>n</em> of the table pushing up on the object, so that by Newton's second law,

∑ <em>F</em> = <em>n</em> - <em>w</em> = 0   →   <em>n</em> = <em>w</em> = <em>mg</em> = 112.5 N ≈ 113 N

where <em>m</em> = 12.5 kg and <em>g</em> = 9.80 m/s².

The minimum force <em>F</em> needed to overcome <u>maximum</u> static friction <em>f</em> and get the object moving is

<em>F</em> > <em>f</em> = 0.50 <em>n</em> = 61.25 N ≈ 61.3 N

which means a push of <em>F</em> = 15 N is not enough the get object moving and so it stays at rest in equilibrium. While the push is being done, the net force on the object is still zero, but now the horizontal push and static friction cancel each other.

So:

(a) Your free body diagram should show the object with 4 forces acting on it as described above. You have to draw it to scale, so whatever length you use for the normal force and weight vectors, the length of the push and static friction vectors should be about 61.3/112.5 ≈ 0.545 ≈ 54.5% as long.

(b) Friction has a magnitude of 15 N because it balances the pushing force.

(c) The object is in equilibrium and not moving, so the acceleration is zero.

Read the question, and then use the drop-down menus to complete the paragraph.
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

The most abundant gas in Earth’s atmosphere is nitrogen, followed by oxygen, which is needed to burn wood and fuel. The third-most abundant gas is argon. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is very small, making up just 0.33% of the atmosphere, but it is very important because plants use it to make simple sugars. Another important gas is water vapor, which condenses around small particles in the atmosphere to form clouds and then rain.
