A police car is located 50 feet to the side of a straight road. A red car is driving along the road in the direction of the poli

ce car and is 140 feet up the road from the location of the police car. The police radar reads that the distance between the police car and the red car is decreasing at a rate of 70 feet per second. How fast is the red car actually traveling along the road?

Answer:74.33 feet per sec

Explanation:

Given

Police car is 50 feet side of road

Red car is 140 feet up the road

Distance between them is decreasing at the rate of 70 feet per sec

From figure

x^2+y^2=z^2

z=\sqrt{140^2+50^2}

z=148.66 feet

as the red car is moving

therefore its velocity magnitude is given by

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

2x\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}+0=2z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}

x\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=z\frac{\mathrm{d} z}{\mathrm{d} t}

140\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=148.66\times 70

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=74.33 feet\ per\ sec

A rock, with a density of 3.55 g/cm^3 and a volume of 470 cm^3, is thrown in a lake. a) What is the weight of the rock out of th
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

a) Weight of the rock out of the water = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = 11.76 N

Explanation:

a) Mass of the rock out of the water = Volume x Density

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density = 3.55 g/cm³

   Mass = 470 x 3.55 = 1668.5 g = 1.6685 kg

   Weight of the rock out of the water = 1.6685 x 9.81 = 16.37 N

b) Buoyancy force = Volume x Density of liquid x Acceleration due to gravity.

   Volume = 470 cm³

   Density of liquid = 1 g/cm³

   \texttt{Buoyancy force}= \frac{470\times 1\times 9.81}{1000} = 4.61 N

c) Mass of the water displaced = Volume of body x Density of liquid

   Mass of the water displaced = 470 x 1 = 470 g = 0.47 kg

d) Weight of rock under water = Weight of the rock out of the water - Buoyancy force

   Weight of rock under water = 16.37 - 4.61  =11.76 N

Calculate ideal work (in J) when a single stream of 1 mole of air is heated and expanded from 25 C and 1 bar to 100 C and 0.5 ba
NISA [10]

Answer:

-1786.5J

Explanation:

Temperature 1=T1=25°c

Temperature 2=T2=200°c

Pressure P1=1bar

Pressure P2=0.5bars

T=37°c+273=310k

Note number if moles=1

Recall work done =2.3026RTlogp2/P1

2.3026*8.314*310log(0.5/1)

A force of 20 N is exerted on a box with a mass of 15 kg. if friction exerts a force of 4 N on the box, at what rate does the bo
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

1.06 metres per second squared

Explanation:

since friction acts against foward force

20 N - 4 N = 16 N

use Newtons 2nd law F=ma Solve for a:

a= F÷m

= 16 ÷ 15

= 1.06 metres per second squared
