Answer:

The speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

Explanation:

We need to find the speed of the rain in the "y" direction. We have:

v_{r}: speed of the raindrop at 60° (vertical) =?

v_{c}: speed of the car = 20 m/s (in the "x" direction)

Hence, the speed of the car and the speed of the raindrop are related by:

tan(\theta) = \frac{v_{c}}{v_{r}}        

v_{r} = \frac{v_{c}}{tan(60)} = \frac{20}{tan(60)} = 11.55 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the raindrop is 11.55 m/s.

I hope it helps you!

How can you change the phases of matter using thermal energy
Leokris [45]

Answer:

These energy exchanges are not changes in kinetic energy. They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.

6. The image to the right shows a moment of inertia
Trava [24]

The moment of inertia is the rotational analog of mass, and it is given by

the  product of mass and the square of the distance from the axis.

  • The moment of inertia changes as the position of the weight is changed, which indicates that; statement is incorrect

Reasons:

The weight on each arm that have adjustable positions can be considered as point masses.

The moment of inertia of a point mass is <em>I</em> = m·r²

Where;

m = The mass of the weight

r = The distance (position) from the center to which the weight is adjusted

Therefore;

The moment of inertia, <em>I </em>∝ r²

Which gives;

Doubling the distance from the center of rotation, increases the moment of inertia by factor of 4.

Therefore, the statement contradicts the relationship between the radius of rotation and moment of inertia.
