If the police are chasing a runaway car why is knowing the velocity of the car important

Physics
1 answer:
atroni [7]3 years ago
8 0

If you only know its speed, that's not enough information to catch it. You could even chase it at DOUBLE that speed, and you'd never catch it if you were chasing in the wrong direction.

You also have to know the DIRECTION the runaway car is going, so that you can chase in the same direction.

Now that you know its speed AND direction, you know its velocity. You need that information to have any chance of catching it.

what is the resistance of a car light bulb that conducts 0.025A current when connected to a 12V car accumulator? is the current
Sophie [7]

One form of Ohm's Law says . . . . . Resistance = Voltage / Current .

R = V / I

R = (12 v) / (0.025 A)

R = (12 / 0.025) (V/I)

<em>R = 480 Ohms</em>

I don't know if the current in the bulb is steady, because I don't know what a car's "accumulator" is.  (Floogle isn't sure either.)

If you're referring to the car's battery, then the current is quite steady, because the battery is a purely DC storage container.

If you're referring to the car's "alternator" ... the thing that generates electrical energy in a car to keep the battery charged ... then the current is pulsating DC, because that's the form of the alternator's output.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

the correct one is D,  

Ultraviolet, x-ray, gamma ray

Explanation:

Electromagnetism radiation are waves of energy that is expressed by the Planck relationship

          E = h f

where h is the plank constant and f the frequency of the radiation.

Also the speed of light is

          c = λ f

         

we substitute

          E = h c /λ

therefore to damage the cells of the body radiation of appreciable energy is needed

microwave radiation has an energy of 10⁻⁵ eV

infrared radiation                E = 10⁻² eV

visible radiation                   E = 1 to 3 eV

radiation Uv                         E = 3 to 6 eV

X-ray                                    E = 10 eV

 

gamma rays                         E = 10 5 eV

therefore we see that the high energy radiation is gamma rays, x-rays and ultraviolet light.

When checking the answers, the correct one is D

What is the equivalent resistance of the circuit?
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

80 Ω.

Explanation:

In this circuit the resistances are in series.The equivalent resistance of a series circuit is equal to the sum of the resistances. Req= 60 + 20 = 80 Ω.

Sherry and Ellen are talking about the factors that affect light scattering in the atmosphere. Sherry says one factor is the len
Delvig [45]

Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.

<h3>Factors affecting light scattering</h3>

There are two main factors which affects light scattering, and they include the following;

  1. the size of the particles
  2. wavelength of the light

length of the path of sunlight is equivalent to wavelength of the light.

Thus, we can conclude that Sherry who says one factor is the length of the path of sunlight is correct.

How does mass effect potential and kinetic energy on a roller coaster?
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Potential energy is measured by mass * gravity * height. So, the larger the mass on a roller coaster, the more potential energy it has. 

Also, the higher it is, the more potential energy it has.
