It is safer for a car driver to be wearing a seat belt, compared with not wearing a seat belt, if the car is involved in a colli

sion.
Explain why.​

Korolek [52]3 years ago

Explanation: It is because when a car is moving both the car and the driver is in inertia of motion. When a car is involved in collision it comes to a sudden stop and the car comes into inertia of rest whereas the person still in inertia of motion moves forward and might result in major injuries. But this can be prevented by wearing a seatbelt

Hope it helps :)

About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 11.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, a
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 minutes

Distance = 11.0 m

Pressure = 101.3 kPa

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the speed of the water

Using equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2gs

Where, u = speed of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

0=u^2-2\times9.8\times11.0

u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times11.0}

u=14.68\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).
melamori03 [73]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg   Coordinates. m
-------------   -----------------
   2               (0, 0)
   2               (2, 0)
   4               (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer:  (1.5, 0.5) m

What are gamma rays and what are its uses??<br>​
sukhopar [10]

"Gamma rays" is the name that we call the shortest of all electromagnetic waves.  They're shorter than radio waves, microwaves, infrared waves, heat waves, visible light waves, ultraviolet waves, and X-rays.  They extend all the way down to waves that are as short as the distance across an atom.

Being so short, they carry lots of energy.  They can penetrate many materials, and they can damage living cells and DNA.  They're dangerous.

The sun puts out a lot of gamma radiation.  The atmosphere (air) filters out a lot of it, otherwise there couldn't even be any life on Earth.  

As soon as astronauts fly out of the atmosphere, they need a lot of shielding from gamma rays.

You know the precautions we take when we're around X-rays.  The same precautions apply around gamma rays, only a lot more so.

It's only in the past several years that we've learned how to MAKE gamma rays without blowing things up.  Also, how to control them, and how to use them for medical and industrial applications.
