At a stoplight, a truck traveling at 15 m/s passes a car as it starts from rest. The truck travels at constant velocity and the

car accelerates at 3 m/s^2. How much time does the car take to catch up to the truck?

The time that the car take to catch up to truck would be :

1/2 ar^2 = vt

1/2 (3) t^2 = 15t

1.5 t^2 = 15t

t ^2 = 10s

Hope this helps

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir

Ber [7]

Answer: D. it has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A <u>Law</u> is an affirmation (something established) based on repeated long-term observation of a phenomenon that has been studied and verified.

That is: A law is present in all known theories and therefore is considered universal. In addition, a law can not be refuted, nor changed, because its precepts have been proven through various studies.

<u>Unlike theory</u>, which is the set of rules and principles that describe and explain a particular phenomenon and <u>is subject to changes as new evidence emerges that gives meaning to it. </u>

Then, based on what is explained above, the law of universal gravitation is a statement that exists because it was rigorously tested and verified, therefore it can not be refuted.

For a ∆x of 0.1mm, what is ∆px, the uncertainty in the transverse momentum of a photon passing through a slit (where uncertainty

Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

$0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$

Explanation:

Uncertainty principle say that the position and momentum can not be measured simultaneously except one relation which is described below,

$\Delta x\Delta p=\frac{h}{4\pi }$

Given that the uncertainty in x is 0.1 mm.

Therefore,

$\Delta p=\frac{6.626\times 10^{-34} }{4\times 3.14\times 1\times 10^{-4}m }\\\Delta p=0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$

Therefore, uncertainty in the transverse momentum of photon is $0.53\times 10^{-30}kgms^{-1}$

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.

yan [13]

Answer:

B) changing position

Explanation:

When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, due to multiple bounce the position of the ball changes.

Thus, When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball changing position.

In an old-fashioned amusement park ride, passengers stand inside a 4.9-m-diameter hollow steel cylinder with their backs against

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

24.07415 rpm

Explanation:

$\mu$ = Coefficient of friction = 0.63

v = Velocity

d = Diameter = 4.9 m

r = Radius = $\frac{d}{2}=\frac{4.9}{2}=2.45\ m$

m = Mass

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Here the frictional force balances the rider's weight

$f=\mu F_n$

The centripetal force balances the weight of the person

$\mu m\frac{v^2}{r}=mg\\\Rightarrow \mu \frac{v^2}{r}=g\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{gr}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\frac{9.81\times 2.45}{0.63}}\\\Rightarrow v=6.17656\ m/s$

Velocity is given by

$v=\omega r\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{v}{r}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\frac{6.17656}{2.45}\\\Rightarrow \omega=2.52104\ rad/s$

Converting to rpm

$2.52104\times \frac{60}{2\pi}=24.07415\ rpm$

The minimum angular speed for which the ride is safe is 24.07415 rpm
