Answer:

714.285s

Explanation:

use relative velocity

8-4.5 = 3.5m/s

x = 2500m

2500/3.5 = 714.285s = 700s (with sig figs)

What cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from?.

ser-zykov [4K]

The Oort cloud extends to the gravitational limits of the solar system would comets come from.

<h3>What is oort cloud?</h3>

It is a hypothetical idea of a cloud of mostly frozen planetesimals that would orbit the Sun at distances between 2,000 and 200,000 AU.

The Oort cloud reaches the solar system's outer gravitational boundaries, where comets originate.

Hence cloud extending to the gravitational limits of the solar system will be oorto cloud.

A biker first accelerates from 0.0 m/s to 6.0 m/s in 6 s, then continues at this speed for 5 s. What is the total distance trave

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Final velocity = 6m/s

Time, t = 6 secs

Time, T2 = 5 secs

Mathematically, acceleration is given by the equation;

$Acceleration (a) = \frac{final \; velocity - initial \; velocity}{time}$

Substituting into the equation;

$a = \frac{6 - 0}{6}$

$a = \frac{6}{6}$

Acceleration, a = 1m/s²

<u>To find the distance covered in the first phase;</u>

<em>Solving for distance, we would use the second equation of motion;</em>

$S = ut + \frac {1}{2}at^{2}$

<em>Substituting the values into the equation;</em>

$S = 0(6) + \frac {1}{2}*1*(6)^{2}$

$S = 0 + \frac {1}{2}*1*36$

$S = 0.5 *36$

Distance, S1 = 18m

<u>For the second phase, time T2 = 5 secs;</u>

<em>Mathematically, speed is given by the equation;</em>

$Speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

<em>Making distance the subject of formula, we have;</em>

$Distance, S = speed * time$

<em>Substituting into the above equation;</em>

$Distance, S = 6 * 5$

Distance, S2 = 30m

Total distance = S1 + S2 = 18m + 30m = 48m

Total distance = 48m

<em>Therefore, the total distance traveled by the biker is 48m.</em>

Like the filters falling through the air, a car on the freeway represents an object with a high Reynolds number traveling throug

Goshia [24]

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2$

$C_D$ =Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444$

Percentage Change in the drag force

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100$

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22 %.
