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.

If velocity is decreasing,then acceleration:

If velocity is decreasing, then acceleration is in the direction
opposite to the velocity.

If the object is moving in the direction that you call 'positive',
then acceleration is negative.

The radar system of a navy cruiser transmits at a wavelength of 1.4 cm, from a circular antenna with a diameter of 2.7 m. At a r

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Distance will be 49.34 m

Explanation:

We have given wavelength $\lambda =1.4cm =0.014m$

Diameter of the antenna d = 2.7 m

Range L = 7.8 km = 7800 m

We have to find the smallest distance hat two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects D

We know that distance is given by $D=\frac{L1.22\lambda }{d}=\frac{7800\times 1.22\times 0.014}{2.7}=49.3422m$

So distance D will be 49.34 m

A piece of aluminum has a volume of 1.50 10-3 m3. the coefficient of volume expansion for aluminum is β = 69 ✕ 10-6 (°c)-1. the

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

W = 3.12 J

Explanation:

Given the volume is 1.50*10^-3 m^3 and the coefficient of volume for aluminum is β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1. The temperature rises from 22°C to 320°C. The difference in temperature is 320 - 22 = 298°C, so ΔT = 298°C. To reiterate our known values we have:

β = 69*10^-6 (°C)^-1 V = 1.50*10^-3 m^3 ΔT = 298°C

So we can plug into the thermal expansion equation to find ΔV which is how much the volume expanded (I'll use d instead of Δ because of format):

$dV = \beta V_{0} dT\\dV = (69*10^{-6})( C)^{-1} * (1.50*10^{-3})m^{3} * (298)C\\dV = 3.0843*10^-5$
