Alex, parked by the side of an east-west road, is watching car P, which is moving in a westerly direction. Barbara, driving east

at a speed 52 km/h, watches the same car. Take the easterly direction as positive. If Alex measures a speed of 78 km/h for car P, what velocity will Barbara measure?

Answer:

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

Explanation:

Since, Alex is at rest. Therefore, the speed measured by him will be the absolute speed of car P. Therefore, taking easterly direction as positive:

Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Car\ P = v_{P} = -78\ km/h

And the absolute velocity of Barbara's Car is given as:Absolute\ Velocity\ of\ Barbara's\ Car = v_{B} = 52\ km/h

Now, for the velocity of Car p with respect to the velocity of Barbara's Car can be given s follows:

Velocity\ of\ Car\ P\ measured\ by\ Barbara = v_{PB} = v_{B}-v_{P}\\\\v_{PB} = 52\ km/h-(-78\ km/h)

v_{PB} = 130\ km/h

The 68-kg crate is stationary when the force P is applied. Determine the resulting acceleration of the crate if (a) P = 0, (b) P
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Mass of the crate, m = 68 kg

We need to find the resulting acceleration if :

(a) Force, P = 0

P = m a

⇒ a = 0

(b) P = 181 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{181\ N}{68\ kg}

a=2.67\ m/s^2

(c) P = 352 N

a=\dfrac{P}{m}

a=\dfrac{352\ N}{68\ kg}

a=5.17\ m/s^2

Hence, this is the required solution.

When reading the printout from a laser printer, you are actually looking at an array of tiny dots.
solniwko [45]

Answer:

The value is y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The diameter of the pupil is d_p  =  4.2 \ mm  =  4.2 *10^{-3} \  m

The distance of the page from the eye d =  29 \  cm  =  0.29 \  m

The wavelength is \lambda  =  500 \ nm =  500 *10^{-9} \  m

The refractive index is n_r =  1.36

Generally the minimum separation of adjacent dots that can be resolved is mathematically represented as

y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  \lambda }{d_p * n_r } ]* d

         y  = [ \frac{1.22 *  500 *10^{-9} }{4.2 *10^{-3} * 1.36} ]* 0.29

         y  = 3.097 * 10^{-5} \  m

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Explanation:

 The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

 Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius.

 We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

  Approximate volume of head =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3

 In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

 So, volume of head = Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3
