vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The car's instant speed is 20m/s

Explanation:

a = at + an

The above equation is a vector equation

a is the resultant acceleration

at   is the tangent acceleration

an  is the normal acceleration

See the attached diagram for solution

Why is the face of the claw on a claw hammer usually a smooth curve? Why isn't it straight or some other shape?
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The face of the claw on the claw hammer is usually a smooth curve so as to improve the ease with which nails are removed when removing nails because as the nail held between the V shaped split claw is being pulled out from the wood, it slides more and more towards cheek, reducing the distance of the nail from the cheek which is the fulcrum, thereby increasing the mechanical advantage because the location of the hand on the grip remains unchanged

Consider the base plate of an 800-W household iron with a thickness of L = 0.6 cm, base area of A =160 cm2, and thermal conducti
ratelena [41]

Given-

Power, P = 800W

Thickness, L = 0.6cm

Area, A = 160cm²

Thermal conductivity, k = 60W/mK

The heat conduction would be

\frac{d^2T}{dx^2} + \frac{d^2T}{dy^2} + \frac{d^2T}{dz^2} + \frac{e(gen)}{k}  = \frac{1}{\alpha } \frac{dT}{dt}

Except \frac{d^2T}{dx^2} all the values are 0.

Therefore,

\frac{d^2T}{dx^2} = 0

Thus, the boundary conditions here would be

1. Q_x_=_0 = -kA \frac{dT (0)}{dx} = Q_o

2. T(L) = T_L

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

24 hours

Explanation:

you must exchange insurance details after a collision if someone is injured. Otherwise you must report the collision to us as soon as possible (and no later than 24 hours). Although you must report such a collision straight away you should always seek medical help in the first instance.
