nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

1)0.325

2)6.17\ \rm m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

The angle that falling raindrops make with the vertical=18^\circ

Let V_R be the velocity of the raindrops and V_B be the velocity of the bus.

1)

\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=\tan 18^\circ\\\dfrac{V_R}{V_B}=0.315\\

2)Speed of the raindrops=0.315\times 19

=6.17\ \rm m/s

A car with a constant velocity of 22 m/s is driven for 6.8 s. How far did it travel? (V =A d/AT)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer: 150 m

Explanation:

velocity = 22 m/s

t = 6.8 s

velocity = \frac{distance}{time}

distance = velocity × time

= 22 × 6.8

= 149.6 m

≈ 150 m
