Answer:

Explanation:

Satellite A and satellite B are approaching the earth from opposite directions , that means they are approaching each other . The velocity of satellite A and B are .648c and .795c respectively . Their velocities are comparable to velocity of light so they will follow relativistic laws .

Their relative velocity will be given by the following relation .

V_r=\frac{u+v}{1+\frac{uv}{c^2} } }

where u and v are velocities of vehicles coming from opposite direction and c is velocity of light .

V_r=\frac{.795c+.648c}{1+\frac{.648c\times .795c}{c^2} } }

V_r=\frac{1.443c}{1+.515 } }

= .952c

A box is being pulled to the right over a rough surface. t > fk , so the box is speeding up. Suddenly the rope breaks. What h
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a. keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.

Explanation:

Since the tension in the rope, t is greater than the kinetic friction fk, the box is moving forward because there is a net force on it. That is, t - fk = f = ma.

Since there is a net force, there is an acceleration and thus an increasing velocity.

When the rope breaks, the tension, t = 0. So, t - fk = 0 - fk = -fk = ma'.

Now, the net force acting on the box is friction in the opposite direction. This force tends to slow the box down from its initial velocity at acceleration, 'a' until its velocity is zero, where it stops. Since the frictional force is constant, the acceleration, a' on the box is thus constant and the box undergoes uniform deceleration until its velocity is zero.

<u>So, the box keeps its speed for a short while, then slows and stops. slows steadily until it stops.</u>

So, the answer is a.

Why is a compound as common as water considered a "weird" chemical substance?
vodka [1.7K]
There are many many fascinating things about water that make it different than any other chemical substance. For example, it is the only known compound whose solid state is less dense than it's liquid state. It also has hydrogen bonding which gives water many "weird" properties. Many chemistry teachers revolve their entire class around the properties of water.
