How do fluids excert pressure

All fluids exert pressure like the air inside a tire. The particles of fluids are constantly moving in all directions at random. As the particles move, they keep bumping into each other and into anything else in their path. These collisions cause pressure, and the pressure is exerted equally in all directions.

A family car has a mass of 1400 kg. In an accident it hits a wall and goes from a speed of 27 m/s to a standstill in 1.5 seconds

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The force has been reduced by 8018 N

Explanation:

The impulse exerted on the car during the crash is equal to the product of the force exerted and the duration of the collision, and it is also equal to the change in momentum of the car. So we can write:

$F\Delta t = m\Delta v$

where:

F is the force exerted on the car

$\Delta t$ is the duration of the collision

m = 1400 kg is the mass of the car

$\Delta v=-27 m/s$ is the change in velocity of the car

We can re-write the equation as

$F=\frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

In the 1st collision, the time is 1.5 seconds, so the force is

$F_1=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{1.5}=-25,200 N$

In the 2nd collision, the time is increased to 2.2 seconds, so the force is

$F_2=\frac{(1400)(-27)}{2.2}=-17,182 N$

Therefore, the force has been reduced by:

$F_2-F_1=-17,182-(-25,200)=8018 N$

A doppler effect occurs when a source of sound moves. True or False

Shtirlitz [24]

<h2>Answer: True </h2>

The <u>Doppler effect</u> refers to the change in a wave perceived frequency when the emitter of the waves, and the receiver (or observer in the case of light) move relative to each other.

In other words, it is the variation of the frequency of a wave due to the relative movement of the source of the wave with respect to its receiver.

It should be noted that this effect bears its name in honor of the Austrian physicist <u>Christian Andreas Doppler</u>, who in 1842 proposed the existence of this effect for the case of light in the stars. Another important aspect is that the effect occurs in all waves (including light and sound). However, it is more noticeable to humans with sound waves.

A moving van travels 10km North, then 4 km east, drops off some furniture and then drives 8 km south. (a) Sketch the path of the

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

4.47 km

Explanation:

If we draw the path of the van then we get a shape with two exposed points A and D. If we draw a line from point D perpendicular to BA we get point E. This gives us a right angled triangle ADE.

From Pythagoras theorem

AD² = AE² + ED²

$AD=\sqrt{AE^2+ED^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{2^2+4^2}\\\Rightarrow AD=\sqrt{20}\\\Rightarrow AD=4.47\ km$

Hence, the van is 4.47 km from its initial point
