Why does the closed top of a convertible bulge when the car is riding along a highway? Why does the closed top of a convertible

bulge when the car is riding along a highway? The air pressure is greater outside the car than inside. The volume of air inside the car increases. The air blows into the front part of the roof, lifting the back part. The air pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside.

Answer:

Option D

The air pressure inside the car is greater than the pressure outside.

Explanation:

When considering airflow over and around a surface, from Bernoulli's equation, air flow regions with higher velocity have a lower pressure, and regions with lower velocity have a higher pressure.

The air outside the convertible is moving faster than the air inside the convertible. This leads to a higher pressure zone just below the surface of the roof (inside the car) causing the roof of the convertible to bulge upwards

Tom [10]

Answer:

X Component is 183.85N

Explanation:

The x component of the force on the block due to the rope;

X = F cos @ where if is the force, @ is the angle mad with the block.

X = F cos @

X = 240 cos 40

Cos 40= 0.7660, so

X = 240 × 0.7660

X component= 183.85N// rounded to two decimal places.

Masja [62]

As we know that

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know that

d_0 = 6 cm

f = 10 cm

now from above equation we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}

d_i = -15 cm

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

This image will be magnified and virtual image

A vertical spring of constant k = 400 N/m hangs at rest. When a 2 kg mass is attached to it, and it is released, the spring exte
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

4.9 cm

Explanation:

From Hook's Law,

F = ke......................... Equation 1

Where F= force, e = extension, k = spring constant.

Note: the Force acting on the the spring is the weight of the mass.

W = mg.

F = mg.................... Equation 2

Where m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

mg = ke

make e the subject of the equation

e = mg/k............... Equation 3.

Given: m = 2 kg, g = 9.8 m/s², k = 400 N/m

e = (2×9.8)/400

e = 19.6/400

e = 0.049 m

e = 4.9 cm
