Answer:

You’ve probably noticed over the years that car design has become more streamlined. In other words, most consumer vehicles don’t look very boxy anymore. Some of this is due to aesthetics, but much of it is meant to decrease a vehicle’s drag coefficient. A cube has a high drag coefficient, whereas a teardrop has a low one.

By decreasing the drag coefficient, car makers are helping vehicles “slip” through air more easily. That reduces the amount of fuel needed to move the vehicle, and the difference shows up in your wallet and in the environment.

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

$y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0$

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

$v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt$

Solving for t=1:

1) $v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}$

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) $E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0$

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) $E=mgh$

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) $h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0$

Combining equation 1 and 4:

$h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0$

a man pushes on a wall with a force of 50N. what are the size and direction of the force that the wall exert on the man?

Ira Lisetskai [31]

According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So Wall must apply a force of 50 Newton but in opposite direction. Hope you got it :-D

Olivia wants to find out whether a substance will fluoresce. She says she should put it in a microwave oven. Do you agree with h

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Disagree.
Fluoresce objects will only glow when put under actual Ultraviolet light. This is due to the molecules becoming excited by the ultraviolet radiation.

Microwaves give micro-waves that are present in another spectrum of wave length and will not be able to fluoresce the molecules. If it’s not “ultra violet “.... it’s not going to glow.
