Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula;

Speed = Distance/Time

Given

Speed = 8km/s

Time = 2hr

Convert 2hr to secs

1hr = 3600secs

2hr = 2(3600)

2hr = 7200secs

Altitude is the distance

From the formula;

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 8×7200

Distance = 57200km

Hence the altitude at this point is 57,200km

3 bulbs are in series and the same 3 bulbs are in parallel with the same battery. Which bulbs will be dimmer?
Marina86 [1]

3 bulbs are in series and if the same 3 bulbs are in parallel with the same battery then the bulbs that are connected in parallel  will be dimmer

<h3>What is power?</h3>

The rate of doing work is known as power. The Si unit of power is the watt.

Power =work/time

The mathematical expression for the electric power is as follows

P = VI  

The same current flows through both bulbs when they are connected in series. A greater voltage drop across the bulb with the higher resistance will result in higher power dissipation and brightness. In the case of the parallel combination, the bulb will be dimmer

Thus, If the same three bulbs are connected in series and parallel with the same battery, the parallelly connected bulbs will be dimmer, therefore the correct option is A

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa
maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s

distance traveled before coming to rest d_1=120\ ft

using equation of motion

v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1

for u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s

using same relation we get

0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2

divide 1 and 2 we get

(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}

d_2=213.32\ ft

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

A spinning wheel is slowed down by a brake, giving it a constant angular acceleration of ?5.20 rad/s2. during a 3.80-s time inte
ddd [48]

<span>We can answer this using the rotational version of the kinematic equations:</span><span>
θ = θ₀ + ω₀<span>t + ½αt²     -----> 1</span></span>

ω² = ω₀² + 2αθ            -----> 2

Where:

θ = final angular displacement = 70.4 rad

θ₀ = initial angular displacement = 0

ω₀ = initial angular speed

ω = final angular speed

t = time = 3.80 s

α = angular acceleration = -5.20 rad/s^2

Substituting the values into equation 1:<span>
70.4 = 0 + ω₀(3.80) + ½(-5.20)(3.80)² </span><span>

ω₀ = (70.4 + 37.544) / 3.80 </span><span>

ω₀ = 28.406 rad/s </span><span>


Using equation 2:
ω² = (28.406)² + 2(-5.2)70.4 


ω = 8.65 rad/s

What is the cause of most waves and how can this change waves' characteristics?
Tanzania [10]

There are three main factors that affect wave formation: wind velocity, fetch, and duration.

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest.
