In the Daytona 500 auto race, a Ford Thunderbird and a Mercedes Benz are moving side by side down a straightaway at 73.5 m/s. Th

e driver of the Thunderbird realizes that she must make a pit stop, and she smoothly slows to a stop over a distance of 250 m. She spends 5.00 s in the pit and then accelerates out, reaching her previous speed of 73.5 m/s after a distance of 400 m. At this point how far has the Thunderbird fallen behind the Mercedes Benz, which has continued at a constant speed

Answer:

Thunderbird has fallen behind the Mercedes Benz by 1017.49 m

Explanation:

Given the data in question;

initial speed of the ford u1 = 73.5 m/s

distance d1 = 250 m

t1 = 5.00 s

d2 = 400 m

Now, let the time taken to stop be t2 and deceleration is a1

so,

a1 = u1² / (2 × d1)

a1 = (73.5)² / (2 × 250)

a1 = 10.8045 m/s²

Now , for acceleration is a2

a2 = v² / (2 × d2)

a2 = (73.5)² / (2 × 400)

a2 = 6.7528 m/s²

total time spend = 5 + u/a1 + u/a2

total time spend = 5 + (73.5/10.8045) + (73.5/6.7528)

total time spend = 22.687 sec

Now, distance Mercedes is ahead = 22.687 × 73.5 - 400 - 250

= 1667.4945 - 400 - 250

= 1017.49 m

Therefore, Thunderbird has fallen behind the Mercedes Benz by 1017.49 m

The tonga trench in the pacific ocean is 36,000 feet deep. assuming that sea water has an average density of 1.04 g/cm3, calcula
MakcuM [25]
1110 atm    

Let's start by calculating how many cm deep is 36,000 feet. 

 36000 ft * 12 in/ft * 2.54 cm/in = 1097280 cm   

 Now calculate how much a column of water 1 cm square and that tall would mass. 

 1097280 cm * 1.04 g/cm^3 = 1141171.2 g/cm^2   

 We now have a number using g/cm^2 as it's unit and we desire a unit of Pascals ( kg/(m*s^2) ).  

 It's pretty obvious how to convert from g to kg. But going from cm^2 to m is problematical. Additionally, the s^2 value is also a problem since nothing in the value has seconds as an unit. This indicates that a value has been omitted. We need something with a s^2 term and an additional length term. And what pops into mind is gravitational acceleration which is m/s^2. So let's multiply that in after getting that cm^2 term into m^2 and the g term into kg.   

 1141171.2 g/cm^2 / 1000 g/kg * 100 cm/m * 100 cm/m = 11411712 kg/m^2 

 11411712 kg/m^2 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 111834777.6 kg/(m*s^2) = 111834777.6 Pascals   

 Now to convert to atm 

 111834777.6 Pa / 1.01x10^5 Pa/atm = 1107.2750 atm   

 Now we gotta add in the 1 atm that the atmosphere actually provides (but if you look closely, you'll realize that it won't affect the final result). 

 1107.274 atm + 1 atm = 1108.274 atm   

 And finally, round to 3 significant figures since that's the accuracy of our data, giving 1110 atm.

Waves that move the particles of the medium parallel to the direction in which the waves are traveling are called
Nikolay [14]

1. a. longitudinal waves.

There are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in transverse waves, the oscillations of the wave occur in a direction perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave

- Longitudinal waves: in longitudinal waves, the oscillations of the waves occur parallel to the direction in which the waves are travelling.

So, these types of waves are called longitudinal waves.


2. d. a medium

There are two types of waves:

- Electromagnetic waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of electric and magnetic field, and they can travel both in a medium and also in a vacuum (they do not need a medium to propagate)

- Mechanical waves: these waves are produced by the oscillations of the particles in a medium, so they need a medium to propagate - therefore, the correct choice is d. a medium


3. a. AM/FM radio

Analogue signals consist of continuous signals, which vary in a continuous range of values. On the contrary, digital signals consist of discrete signals, which can assume only some discrete values. For AM and FM radios, signals are transmitted by using analogue signals.

An object weighs 7.84 N when it is in air and 6.86 N when it is immersed in water of density 1000 kg/m3. What is the density of
kirill [66]

Answer:

8000 kg/m^3

Explanation:

Weight in air = 7.84 n

Weight in water = 6.86 N

density of water = 1000 kg/m^3

Let d be the density of object

According to the Archimedes principle, when a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly, it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force. The buoyant force is equal to the loss in weight of the body.

Loss in weight of the object = Weight of object in air - weight of object in water

Loss in weight = 7.84 - 6.86 = 0.98 N

Volume of body x density of water x g = 0.98

Let V be the volume of body

V x 1000 x 9.8 = 0.98

V = 10^-4 m^3

Weight in air = Volume of body x density of body x g

7.84 = 10^-4 x d x 9.8

d = 8000 kg/m^3

Thus, the density of body is 8000 kg/m^3.
