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

A uniform piece of wire, 20 cm long, is bent in a right angle in the center to give it an L-shape. How far from the bend is the
zlopas [31]

Answer:

the center of mass is 7.07 cm apart from the bend

Explanation:

the centre of mass of a wire of length L is L/2 ( assuming uniform density). Then initially the x coordinate of the centre of mass is

x₁ = L/2 = 20 cm /2 = 10 cm

when the wire is bent in a right angle the coordinates of the new centre of mass will be

x₂ = L₂/2

y₂=  L₂/2

where L₂ is the length of the horizontal piece and vertical piece . Then L₂=L/2

x₂ = L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

y₂= L₂/2 = L/4 = 20 cm/4 = 5 cm

x₂=y₂=X

locating the bend in the origin (0,0) the distance to the centre of mass is

d = √(x₂²+y₂²) = √(2X²) = √2*X=√2*5cm = 7.07 cm

d = 7.07 cm

Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass
zvonat [6]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one otter = 8.50 kg

Speed = 6.00 m/s

Mass of other = 5.75 kg

Speed = 5.50 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide

Using conservation of momentum

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Put the value into the formula

8.50\times(-6.00)+5.75\times5.50=(8.50+5.75)\times v

v=\dfrac{-19.375}{14.25}

v=-1.35\ m/s

Negative sign shows the direction of motion of the object after collision is toward left.

(b). We need to calculate the initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times8.50\times(6.00)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.75\times(5.50)^2

K.E_{i}=239.96\ J

We need to calculate the final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(8.50+5.75)\times(-1.35)^2

K.E_{f}=12.98\ J

We need to calculate the mechanical energy dissipates during this play

Using formula of loss of mechanical energy

\Delta K.E=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}

Put the value into the formula

\Delta K.E=12.98-239.96

\Delta K.E=-226.98\ J

Negative sign shows the loss of mechanical energy

Hence, (a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

When numbers are very small or very large, it is convenient to either express the value in scientific notation and/or by using a
Oxana [17]

Answer:

5 mg, 5\cdot 10^{-3}g

Explanation:

First of all, let's rewrite the mass in grams using scientific notation.

we have:

m = 0.005 g

To rewrite it in scientific notation, we must count by how many digits we have to move the dot on the right - in this case three. So in scientific notation is

m=5\cdot 10^{-3}g

If  we want to convert into milligrams, we must remind that

1 g = 1000 mg

So we can use the proportion

1 g : 1000 mg = 0.005 g : x

and we find

x=\frac{(1000 mg)(0.005 g)}{1 g}=5 mg

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he
Liula [17]

Answer:

correct is d) a ’= g / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the kinematics equations

On earth

      v = v₀ - a t

     a = (v₀- v) / T

On planet X

    v = v₀ - a' t’

    a ’= (v₀-v) / 2T

Let's substitute the land values ​​in plot X

     a’= a / 2

Now let's use Newton's second law

       W = ma

      m g = m a

      a = g

We substitute

      a ’= g / 2

So we see that on planet X the acceleration is half the acceleration of Earth's gravity
