Answer:

Speed = 24 m/s.

No! It doesn't break the speed limit.

Explanation:

The formula we'll be using to find the car's speed:

\boxed{ \mathsf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }}

The detectors are placed 1.2 m apart.

==> Distance the car travels = 1.2 m

The car, it says, takes 0.050 s to travel that distance.

==> Time taken by the car to travel 1.2 m = 0.050 s

Using the formula mentioned above, let's calculate the speed of the car:

\sf{speed =  \frac{distance}{time} }

\implies \sf{speed =  \frac{1.2}{0.050} }

<em>On</em><em> </em><em>dividing</em><em> </em><em>1</em><em>2</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>0</em><em>.</em><em>0</em><em>5</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>we</em><em> </em><em>obtain</em><em> </em><em>2</em><em>4</em><em>.</em>

\implies \sf{speed = 24 \: m/s }

Any car traveling with a speed that is greater than or equal to <u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u> is breaking the speed limit.

And since the car in our focus is traveling at 24 m/s that is less than 25 m/s, it doesn't break the speed limit.

Why does the candle light has no shadow when light fall on it?​
andrezito [222]
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.

A 4kg rock isn’t rolling 10m/s. Find it’s kinetic energy.
scoundrel [369]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

The rock's kinetic energy is not 

                           (1/2) (4 kg) (10 m/s)²

                      =   (1/2) (4 kg) (100 m²/s²)

                      =         200 Joules .

It may be more, or it may be less.  The only thing
we can be sure of is that it is not 200 Joules.

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The transformation went from a gas to a solid which is a Deposition

Explanation:

Deposition is the phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase. Deposition is a thermodynamic process. The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation.
