The answer is D. 44 miles

That's because if we take one vehicle to be X, and another to be X + 16, then to calculate X + Y = 72 we can write it down as <span>x + (x+16)=<span>72

Then we have 2x + 16 = 72
2x = 56
x = 28

The result is then D because </span></span>
28 + 16 = 44.

A tin can collapses if all air inside it is taken out why
Veseljchak [2.6K]

That only happens when the tin can is IN air.

In the familiar, comfy part of Earth's atmosphere where we live, the normal pressure of air is around 14.6 pounds on every square inch of everything. That's a big part of the reason why we're built with bodies that generate that same amount of pressure on the INSIDE pressing OUT. That way, we always have the same pressure pushing in both directions, so we know that we won't get crushed or blow up like balloons.

But we have to be careful with our bodies or other things when they're in places where the atmospheric pressure on the outside is NOT normal.

-- When a deep-sea diver goes hundreds of feet down in the ocean, and the pressure of the water is much GREATER than normal air.

-- When an astronaut has to go outside ... where there's NO air ... and fix something on the International Space Station.

When the pressure on the outside becomes very unusual, we have to wear special suits to protect our bodies from the unusual conditions.

The tin can in the story is a lot like our bodies. As long as it has air inside and air outside, the pressure is the same in both directions, so there's no particular force trying to deform the can. But ...

-- If you seal the can with the air inside it, take the can into a vacuum chamber, and pump the air out of the vacuum chamber, then the can only has pressure inside. It'll expand, and eventually spring a little hole in the metal, and all the air inside will blow out.

-- If you take all the air OUT of the can (so the can is REALLY 'empty'), then the pressure on it is all from the outside. In that situation, the can simply collapses, because there's nothing inside to provide pressure in the outward direction.

One more little thing to think about:

When you want some toothpaste to come drizzling out of the tube onto your brush, what do you do ? Do you perhaps squeeze the tube, and increase the pressure on the outside ?

*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).

2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.

Explanation:

I took physics 121 and got the same question. This is my answer that i used and my teacher said it was right.

State any two effects of gravitational force ​
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

The effect of gravity extends from each object out into space in all directions, and for an infinite distance. However, the strength of the gravitational force reduces quickly with distance. Humans are never aware of the Sun's gravity pulling them because the pull is so small at the distance between the Earth and Sun.

1. A particular lever is 90.0% efficient. If 50.0 J of work are done on the lever, then how much work does the lever do on its l
laila [671]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the efficiency formula;

Efficiency = Work done by the machine (output)/work done on the machine (input) ×100%

Efficiency =w/50 ×100

90 = 100w/50

Cross multiply

90×50 = 100W

4500 = 100W

W = 4500/100

W = 45Joules

Hence the lever does 45Joules of work on its load

2) Mechanical Advantage= Load/Effort

Given

MA = 4

Load = 500N

4 = 500/Effort

Effort = 500/4

Effort =125N

Hence the effort required to lift the load is 125N
