Answer:

• Its acceleration is zero

Explanation:

from definition of acceleration:

${ \rm{acceleration = \frac{change \: in \: velocity}{time} }} \\ \\ { \rm{acceleration = \frac{ \delta \: (velocity)}{time} }}$

• since velocity is constant, change in velocity is zero

${ \boxed{ \rm{ \delta \: (velocity) = 0}}}$

• therefore:

${ \rm{acceleration = \frac{0}{time} }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \tt{acceleration = 0 \: m {s}^{ - 2} }}}$

The apparent height of a building 10.5 km away is 0.02 radians. What is the approximate height of the building to the nearest me

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Approximate height of the building is 23213 meters.

Explanation:

Let the height of the building be represented by h.

0.02 radians = 0.02 × $\frac{180^{o} }{\pi }$

= 0.02 x (180/ $\frac{22}{7}$ )

0.02 radians = 1.146°

10.5 km = 10500 m

Applying the trigonometric function, we have;

Tan θ = $\frac{opposite}{adjacent}$

So that,

Tan 1.146° = $\frac{h}{10500}$

⇒ h = Tan 1.146° x 10500

= 2.21074 x 10500

= 23212.77

h = 23213 m

The approximate height of the building is 23213 m.

A compact car has a maximum acceleration of 2.0 m/s2 when it carries only the driver and has a total mass of 1100 kg . you may w

nadya68 [22]

According to Newton`s law. Force exerted by car,

$F = m a = 1100 kg \times 2 m/s^2 = 2200 \ N$

After adding an additional 400 kg of mass, the force will be same therefore the acceleration

$F = 2200 \ N = (1100 \ kg + 400 \ kg) a \\\\ a = \frac{2200 \ N}{1500 \ kg} = 1.47 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the acceleration after adding the masses is 1.47 \ m/s^2.

Why do ice cubes always float at the top of a glass of water?

AnnZ [28]

Because water is a very very very very very unusual substance ... It's
the only known substance whose solid form is less dense than its liquid
form near the same temperature.

In other words, water is the only known substance for which a solid lump
of it floats in a liquid glass of it.

If that were not true ... if the behavior of the density of water around its
freezing temperature were the same as the density of all other known
substances ... then life on Earth would be impossible.

Think about that for a while ! Ya gotta admire whoever it was that designed water !
