On a foggy day, you are driving at 70 mph and Granny is driving at 50 mph. As you try to pass her, you both see an overturned tr

uck and simultaneously slam on your brakes. Assume that both vehicles are identical and that Granny stops just before the truck. Approximately how fast are you traveling when you hit the truck?

Answer:

20 mph

Explanation:

Granny stopped from 50mph,

Her deceleration per unit time is

a = 50 - 0 = 50m/hr^2

This is also the amount of deceleration you experience per unit time (because both cars are identical), therefore your final speed with which you collide with the truck will be,

50 = 70 - v

V = 70 - 50 = 20mph

Consider a very small hole in the bottom of a tank 17.0 cm in diameter filled with water to a heightof 90.0 cm. Find the speed a
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Speed of water, v = 4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter of the tank, d = 17 cm

It is placed at a height of 90 cm, h = 0.9 m

We need to find the speed at which the water exits the tank through the hole. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy as :

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=mgh

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.9}

v = 4.2 m/s

So, the speed of water at which the water exits the tank through the hole is 4.2 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

In the context of energy transfers with hot and cold reservoirs, the sign convention is that _______________.
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

B. QC > 0; QH < 0

Explanation:

Given that there are two reservoir of energy.

Sign convention for heat and work :

1.If the heat is adding to the system then it is taken as positive and if heat is going out from the system then it is taken as negative.

2. If the work is done on the system then it is taken as negative and if the work is done by the system then it is taken as positive.

From hot reservoir heat is going out that is why it is taken as negative

Q_H

From cold reservoir heat is coming inside the reservoir that is why it is taken as positive

Q_C>0

That is why the answer will be

Q_H ,Q_C>0

You apply the brakes of your car abruptly and your book starts sliding off the front seat. Three observers sitting in the car ex
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

All the observers are correct.

Explanation:

This is simply a problem of reference frames from which the motion of the book is being viewed by the various observers.

From their various reference frames, they are all correct.

Observer A must be in the inertial reference frame.

<em>Observers who can explain the behavior of the book  and the car by using the relationship between the sum of  the forces and changing velocity are said to be observers in inertial reference frames.</em>

This is clearly shown by what observer A noticed. There was a relative motion between the book and the car as she pointed out, making her to be in an inertial reference frame.

<em>Similarly, observers in inertial reference frames can also explain the changes in velocity of objects  by considering the forces exerted on them by other objects.</em>

This is shown by observer B as he is able to notice how the force of the car affects the velocity of the book.

Observer C is actually in a non-inertial reference frame, as newtons law of force motion relationship are no longer observed. This occurs in the non inertial reference frame.
