<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

This exposes the individual to danger. <em>Remember</em>, the Newton Law of motion which says that an object under the state of rest will remain in that state (inertia) unless when acted upon by an external force.

In this scenario, standing at the back of the pickup truck presents danger especially if the truck suddenly stops; this individual would experience an upward thrust due to inertia that may disbalance him.

What is the predicted result when two different materials of equal mass absorb the same amount of energy by heat flow?
Ludmilka [50]

The correct is D.

Explanation: The specific heat is defined as heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree. Greater the specific heat, more is the heat required to raise the temperature for equal mass. So, the temperature of the material with lowest specific heat will increase the most for the same amount of heat energy.

An ambulance with a siren emitting a whine at 1790 Hz overtakes and passes a cyclist pedaling a bike at 2.36 m/s. After being pa
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Frequency of the ambulance, f = 1790 Hz

Frequency at the cyclist, f' = 1780 Hz

Speed of the cyclist, v₀ = 2.36 m/s

let the velocity of the ambulance be 'vₓ'

Now,

the Doppler effect is given as:

f'=f\frac{v\pm v_o}{v\pm v_x}

where, v is the speed of sound

since the ambulance is moving towards the cyclist. thus, the sign will be positive

thus,

v_x=\frac{f}{f'}(v+v_o)-v

on substituting the values, we get

v_x=\frac{1790}{1780}(343+2.36)-343

or

vₓ = 4.30 m/s

Hence, <u>the speed of the ambulance is 4.30 m/s</u>

A traffic light is weighing 200N hangs from a vertical cable tied to two other cables that are fastened to a support. The upper
Levart [38]

Answer:

T₁ = 93.6 N , T₂ = 155.6 N , T₃ = 200 N

Explanation:

This is a balance exercise where we must apply the expressions for translational balance in the two axes

     ∑  F = 0

Suppose that cable t1 goes to the left and the angles are 41º with respect to the horizontal and cable t2 goes to the right with angles of 63º

decompose the tension of the two upper cables

          cos 41 = T₁ₓ / T1

          sin 41 = T₁y / T1

          T₁ₓ = T₁  cos 41

          T₁y= T₁  sin 41

for cable gold

           cos 63 = T₂ / T₂

           sin 63 = T_{2y} / T₂

We apply the two-point equilibrium equation: The junction point of the three cables and the point where the traffic light joins the vertical cable.

Let's start by analyzing the point where the traffic light meets the vertical cable

              T₃ - W = 0

              T₃ = W

              T₃ = 200 N

now let's write the equations for the single point of the three wires

X axis

   - T₁ₓ + T₂ₓ = 0

  T₁ₓ = T₂ₓ

   T1 cos 41 = T2 cos 63

   T1 = T2 cos 63 / cos 41                (1)

y Axis

      T_{1y} + T_{2y} - T3 = 0

       T₁ sin 41 + T₂ sin 63 = T₃          (2)

to solve the system we substitute equation 1 in 2

        T₂ cos 63 / cos 41 sin 41 + T₂ sin 63 = W

         T₂ (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63) = W

         T₂ = W / (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63)

We calculate

          T₂ = 200 / (cos 63 tan 41 + sin 63)

          T₂ = 200 / 1,2856

           T₂ = 155.6 N

we substitute in 1

            T₁ = T₂ cos 63 / cos 41

             T₁ = 155.6 cos63 / cos 41

             T₁ = 93.6 N

therefore the tension in each cable is

            T₁ = 93.6 N

             T₂ = 155.6 N

             T₃ = 200 N
