In downtown Chicago, the east-west blocks are 400 ft long while the north-south blocks are 280 ft long. Because of the many one-

way streets, it can be challenging to get around. Veronica starts at the corner of Dearborn and Ohio Streets. She drives four blocks north to Superior, two blocks east to Wabash, then a block south to get to her destination at Wabash and Huron.
Required:
What is the straight-line distance from her starting point?

Answer:

The answer is "1160 ft".

Explanation:

Using the Pythagoras theorem:

\to a= 280 \times 3= 840\\\\\to b= 400 \times 2= 800\\\\

\bold{\to y^2= a^2+b^2}\\\\

         =840^2 +800^2\\\\= 705600+640000\\\\=1345600\\\\=1160 \ ft\\

  \to y=1160 \ ft

A hot piece of iron is thrown into the ocean and its temperature eventually stabilizes. Which of the following statements concer
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

E. The ocean gains more entropy than the iron loses.

Explanation:

When there is a spontaneous process , entropy of the system increases . Here hot iron is losing entropy and ocean is gaining entropy . Net effect will be gain of entropy . That means entropy gained by ocean is more than entropy lost by iron .

Hence option E is correct .

An archer tests various arrowheads by shooting arrows at a pumpkin that is suspended from a tree branch by a rope, as shown to t
erik [133]

Answer:

Bounce 1 ,  pass 3,   emb2

Explanation:

(By the way I am also doing that question on College board physics page) For the Bounce arrow, since it bumps into the object and goes back, it means now it has a negative momentum, which means a larger momentum is given to the object. P=mv, so the velocity is larger for the object, and larger velocity means a larger kinetic energy which would result in a larger change in the potential energy. Since K=0.5mv^2=U=mgh, a larger potential energy would have a larger change in height which means it has a larger angle θ with the vertical line. Comparing with the "pass arrow" and the "Embedded arrow", the embedded arrow gives the object a larger momentum, Pi=Pf (mv=(M+m)V), it gives all its original momentum to the two objects right now. (Arrow and the pumpkin), it would have a larger velocity. However for the pass arrow, it only gives partial of its original momentum and keeps some of them for the arrow to move, which means the pumpkin has less momentum, means less velocity, and less kinetic energy transferred into the potential energy, and means less change in height, less θangle.  So it is  Bounce1, pass3, emb2.

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
