Alfredo is trying to measure the speed that cars travel down the street outside of his house. Outside his house there is a stoplight, and then another stoplight about ½ mile down the road. Alfredo says, "I can use my watch with a second hand to time the cars from when they leave the first light and stop at the next light. To find the speed I can just take the ½ mile distance and divide by the time." What are two flaws with Alfredo's plan which will not allow him to see how many cars are speeding on his street? Also explain how you would revise the experiment to avoid these problems

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

drastic assumption that the car moves along the path at the same speed,

hese failures, it would be necessary to take the time of each type of trajectory, accelerated, constant and decelerated, this method is not easy since it implies knowing the distance in each type of movement,

Explanation:

In this exercise Alfredo makes a drastic assumption that the car moves along the path at the same speed, in reality the car when leaving the first traffic light accelerates until it reaches a speed, then remains constant and decelerates to be able to stop at the second traffic light.

To overcome these failures, it would be necessary to take the time of each type of trajectory, accelerated, constant and decelerated, this method is not easy since it implies knowing the distance in each type of movement, another method would be that the two traffic lights were in green so that the vehicle can run with constant speed throughout the trajectory

Describe a ways car manufacturers try to reduce drag and why.

Answers

Aerodynamic drag can be reduced by altering the density of the air and the vehicle speed, but these factors are not easily controlled. Instead, to reduce drag, car manufacturers can make the height and width of the front of the car smaller. ... This shape reduces drag and the forces that try to propel the car backwards

Aerodynamics is a way to reduce drag that uses car manufacturers.

What is aerodynamic ?

Aerodynamics is the motion of the air. airplane flies cause of aerodynamics.

Aerodynamics is the study of forces that are resulted by motion of the air.

To reduce the aerodynamic drag further, the manufacturers use character lines on the exteriors of the car's body right from its concept stage. These lines help the air to pass smoothly over the body and thus, reducing the air resistance.

cars have flat vertical face in front. When it moves through air, drag force directly proportional to the velocity applies on the car which opposes motion of the car. after studding aerodynamics when we make triangular like shape to the front body of the car, it cuts the air and front air goes from side of the car which reduces oppose to the motion, and car can have more speed.

A package is dropped from a helicopter that is moving upward at 20.0 m/s.
If it takes 18.0s before the package strikes the ground, how high above the ground was the package when it was released?

Answers

Explanation:

We have for velocity of package v= 20 - 9.8t and for distance from the ground y = h + 20t - 4.9t2.We have y = 0 and t = 18.0 s we have h = 4.9·182 - 20·18 = 1227.6 m.Velocity at landing v = 20 - 9.8·18 = - 156.4 m/s

A ball is thrown horizontally from a height of 1 m and lands 5 m away. What is the time of flight of the ball?

Answers

Answer:

The time of flight of the ball is approximately 0.4515 s

Explanation:

The given information are;

The vertical height, s = 1 m

The horizontal distance travelled, x = 5 m

The direction of the initial velocity = Horizontal

Given that the vertical height is known and the ball is in free fall, the time of flight, t, will depend on the vertical motion of the ball

The equation of motion of the ball can be presented as follows;

s = u·t + 1/2·g·t²

The initial vertical velocity = 0

∴ 1 = 1/2 × 9.81 × t²

t² = 1/(1/2 × 9.81 ) ≈ 0.20387 s²

t = √0.20387 = 0.4515 s

The time of flight of the ball ≈ 0.4515 s.

At a circus, a human cannonball is shot from a cannon at 15m/s at an angle of 40° above horizontal. She
leaves the cannon 2m off the ground and lands in a net 1m off the ground. What height does she reach?
How much ground distance does she cover?

Answers

Answer:

a

The height is   [tex]H  = 6.74 \  m [/tex]

b

The horizontal distance is  [tex]D  = 23.74 \  m [/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The speed is  [tex]v  =  15 \  m/s[/tex]

  The angle is  [tex]\theta  =  40^o[/tex]

   The height of the cannon from the ground is  h  =  2 m

  The distance of the net from the ground is k  =  1 m

 

Generally the maximum height she reaches is mathematically represented as  

     [tex]H  =  \frac{v^2 sin^2 \theta }{2 *  g }  +  h[/tex]

=>    [tex]H  =  \frac{(15)^2 [sin (40)]^2 }{2 * 9.8}  +  2[/tex]

=>    [tex]H  = 6.74 \  m [/tex]

Generally from kinematic equation  

    [tex]s = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2[/tex]

Here s is the displacement which is mathematically represented as

         s  =  [-(h-k)]  

    =>  s =  -(2-1)

    =>  s  = -1 m

There reason why s =  -1 m is because upward motion canceled the downward motion remaining only the distance of the net from the ground which was covered during the first half but not covered during the second half

     a =  -g = -9.8

    [tex]u  =  v sin (\theta)[/tex]

So

    [tex]-1 = (vsin 40 )t + \frac{1}{2} * (-9.8) t^2[/tex]

=>  [tex]-4.9t^2 + 9.6418t + 1 = 0[/tex]

using  quadratic formula to solve the equation we have

    [tex]t  =  2.07 \  s[/tex]

Generally distance covered along the horizontal is  

   [tex]D  =  v cos (40) *  2.07[/tex]

=>   [tex]D  =  15 cos (40) *  2.07[/tex]

=>   [tex]D  = 23.74 \  m [/tex]

A cannonball is launched at ground level at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with
an initial velocity of 26 m/s. How far does the cannonball travel horizontally before it
reaches the ground?
Vi =26m/s g = 9.8m/s^2 vf=0
30°

Answers

Use the kemetic equation

The cannonball travels horizontally before it reaches the ground at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 26 m/s is 59.73 meters.

What is velocity?

When anything is moving, its velocity tells us how quickly that something's location is changing from a certain vantage point and as measured by a particular unit of time.

If a point travels a specific distance along its path in a predetermined amount of time, its average speed throughout that time is equal to the traveled distance divided by the travel time. For instance, a train traveling 100 km in two hours is moving at an average speed of 50 km/h.

Given:

The initial velocity of a cannonball, u = 26 m/s,

Calculate the range of the cannonball by following the formula,

R = [tex]u^2[/tex]sin2θ / g

Here R is the range, and θ is the angle of projection.

Substitute the values,

R = [tex]26^2[/tex] sin2*30 / 9.8

R  = 59.73 meters

Therefore, the cannonball travels horizontally before it reaches the ground at an angle of 30° above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 26 m/s is 59.73 meters.

D. 1x 10-8 M

E. 14 x 10-8 M

Answer:

D. 1×10⁻⁸ M

Explanation:

[H⁺] [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

(1×10⁻⁶) [OH⁻] = 10⁻¹⁴

[OH⁻] = 1×10⁻⁸

The concentration of hydroxyl ion will be  [tex]10^{-8}[/tex]M.

What is concentration?

The amount of a chemical substance in a mixture is expressed by the substance's concentration.

Calculation of concentration.

Given data:

Concentration of H+ =  1 x [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] M.

It is known that,

[[tex]H^{+}[/tex]][[tex]OH^{-}[/tex]] = [tex]10^{-14}[/tex]M

Now, put the value of concentration of [[tex]H^{+}[/tex]] in above equation.

[1× [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]][[tex]OH^{-}[/tex]] =  [tex]10^{-14}[/tex]M

[[tex]OH^{-}[/tex]]  =   [tex]10^{-14}[/tex] / [1× [tex]10^{-6}[/tex]]M

[[tex]OH^{-}[/tex]]  = [tex]10^{-8}[/tex]M

Therefore, the concentration of hydroxyl ion will be  [tex]10^{-8}[/tex]M.

Hence, the correct answer will be an option (D).

Answers

Answer:

B)Lead is a solid at 310 °C

Explanation:

The melting point of a substance refers to that temperature in which the substance changes state from solid to liquid. The melting point of a substance, which is usually a temperature value, is that actual temperature the change of state occurs.

According to this question, the melting point of Lead (Pb), which is naturally a solid metal, is 327.5°C. This means that LEAD (Pb) will only change to its liquid state at exactly 327.5°C and above. Therefore, at a temperature of 310°C, which is lower than lead's melting point, Lead element will still be a solid.
