Answer:

b. gear, slow her vehicle in a lower

c.

Explanation:

When driving downhill, use a lower gear so as to increase the effect of engine braking and reduce the risk of overheating the brakes.

By using a low gear while driving, the engine should rev higher than usual as this is part of the engine braking system.

It helps tackle steep drops because applying too much pressure on your car's brakes could cause them to fail.

Answer:

<em>The Answer is both B and C, </em><em>since it has same options from the question given. Gear, slow her vehicle in a lower</em>

Explanation:

<em>The use of a lower gear in a vehicle helps a person to control their speed limits, when approaching a hill. it also saves the brakes too, using the brakes down a hill can overheat the gear and causes brake failures</em>

<em>By changing in into a lower gear and also letting the engine to do the brake work in a vehicle, the engine will absorb a force and slow the vehicle down, but in most cases brakes can be applied but with lesser pressure.</em>

<em>In this case Stella need to slow down by applying her lower gear down a hill to avoid accidents on the road, by controlling her speed limits and  for safety precaution</em>

loris [4]

Answer:

No, the resulting wave in the diagram does not demonstrate destructive interference. The resulting wave in the diagram shows a bigger wave than Wave 1 or Wave 2. If it demonstrated destructive interference, it would be a smaller wave or a horizontal line. With destructive interference, waves break down to form a smaller wave, or cancel each other out, resulting in no wave formation.

If a rock is thrown upward on the planet mars with a velocity of 11 m/s, its height (in meters) after t seconds is given by h =
Butoxors [25]
(a) 3.56 m/s 
(b) 11 - 3.72a 
(c) t = 5.9 s 
(d) -11 m/s  
For most of these problems, you're being asked the velocity of the rock as a function of t, while you've been given the position as a function of t. So first calculate the first derivative of the position function using the power rule. 
y = 11t - 1.86t^2 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
Now that you have the first derivative, it will give you the velocity as a function of t. 
(a) Velocity after 2 seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72*2 = 11 - 7.44 = 3.56 
So the velocity is 3.56 m/s  
(b) Velocity after a seconds. 
y' = 11 - 3.72t 
y' = 11 - 3.72a  
So the answer is 11 - 3.72a  
(c) Use the quadratic formula to find the zeros for the position function y = 11t-1.86t^2. Roots are t = 0 and t = 5.913978495. The t = 0 is for the moment the rock was thrown, so the answer is t = 5.9 seconds.  
(d) Plug in the value of t calculated for (c) into the velocity function, so: 
y' = 11 - 3.72a
 y' = 11 - 3.72*5.913978495
 y' = 11 - 22
 y' = -11 
 So the velocity is -11 m/s which makes sense since the total energy of the rock will remain constant, so it's coming down at the same speed as it was going up.

Can light cause the rubber to become solid? Why or why not? Does it matter what type of light she shines on the rubber?
ELEN [110]

Answer:

Yes, ultraviolet light can turn a rubber into solid due to prolong exposure.

Explanation:

A rubber is a material with an elastic property, causing it to be deform by an external force but takes its shape when the force is removed. Light is an electromagnetic wave which causes the sensation of vision. It transfers energy to a medium during propagation through the medium.

Generally, most light do not cause hardness of a rubber. But an ultraviolet light can cause rubber to become solid over a period of time. This is possible if there is a prolong exposure of the rubber, and because of the evaporation of volatiles in the polymer material. Ultraviolet light are known to cause a rubber to become solid.

A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus
dexar [7]

Answer:

a=5m/s^2

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

v_{1}=150m/s

and the final velocity is :

v_{2}=0 m/s

so, the change in velocity is:

\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) =  150 m/s

and the change in time , according to the problem:

\Delta t=30s

So, the aceleration is:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2
