Your speed when your car hits a fixed object is 60 mph.

The given parameters:

  • Your initial speed, v = 60 mph

<h3>What is relative velocity?</h3>

Relative velocity tells us how fast we are traveling from a fixed point or reference point.

  • When travel at 60 mph in a car, you are moving at the same rate with the car.
  • If you are not wearing a seat belt, when you hit a fixed object, you will move forward at the same rate as the car's speed.

Thus, we can conclude that your speed when your car hits a fixed object is 60 mph.

Minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, ocean waves continue to splash onto the shore. Explain why the beach is not
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: C. Ocean waves can only bring energy to the shore; the particles of the medium (water) simply oscillate about their fixed position.

Explanation:

The reason why the beach is not completely submerged and the reason why the middle of the ocean has not been depleted of its water supply is due to the fact that water isn't transported by ocean waves.

It should be noted that even a single drop of water cannot be brought by the ocean wave to the shore from the middle of the ocean.

The only thing that the ocean waves can bring to the shore is energy. Hemce, the water particles oscillate in their fixed position which is vital in making sure that the beach isn't piled up with water.

If you drive through water, your brakes may become slippery and ineffective. To dry the brakes off, __________.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Water at normal temperature is a good lubricant  and will hinder the brake from working properly when  the road is wet. To dry the brakes off, apply brakes gently as you accelerate. This will generate some heat that will evaporate the water with the help of friction.

For an investigation, a teacher dropped a metal bolt into a container of maple syrup and asked students to remove the bolt witho
Aneli [31]

<em>Choice-C</em> is the right one.

-- The bolt didn't react to the magnet, and just laid there.  That tells you that the bolt was made of a non-magnetic material.

-- The bolt didn't float. It went straight to the bottom.  That tells you that it's more dense than the fluid around it.

You are traveling 70 mph (31.3 m/s) and slam on the brakes to avoid hitting another car. How far do you travel if it takes you 8
Arlecino [84]

You traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Initial velocity, U = 31.3 m/s  
  • Time, t = 8.5 seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity (a) for an object is equal to 9.8 meter per seconds square.

To find the distance traveled, we would use the second equation of motion:

Mathematically, the second equation of motion is given by the formula;

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2

Where:

  • S is the distance travelled.
  • u is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time measured in seconds.

Substituting the parameters into the formula, we have;

S = 31.3(8.5) + \frac{x}{y} (9.8)(8.5^2)\\\\S = 266.05 + 4.9(72.25)\\\\S = 266.05 + 354.025

<em>Distance, S</em><em> = </em><em>620.075 meters.</em>

Therefore, you traveled a distance of 620.075 meters if it takes you 8.5 seconds to stop.
