Gina is driving her car to work, but she’s stopped at a red light. when the light turns green, she presses the gas pedal and accelerates (speeds up) to move the car. which of these statements is true the moment gina presses the gas pedal? assume the road is flat and level. a. the net force on the car is zero in the horizontal direction. b. the net force on the car is zero in the horizontal and the vertical directions. c. the net force on the car is greater than zero in the horizontal direction. d. the net force on the car is greater than zero in the vertical direction. e. the net force on the car is less than zero in the vertical direction.

One day, after pulling down your window shade, you notice that sunlight is passing through a pinhole in the shade and making a small patch of light on the far wall. you see that the patch of light seems to be a circular diffraction pattern. it appears that the central maximum is about 1 cm across and you estimate that the distance from the window shade to the wall is about 3 m. what is (a) the average wavelength of sunlight? (b) the diameter of the pinhole?

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .

Aprojectile is launched from ground level with an initial velocity of v 0 feet per second. neglecting air resistance, its height in feet t seconds after launch is given by s equals negative 16 t squared plus v 0 t. find the time(s) that the projectile will (a) reach a height of 192 ft and (b) return to the ground when v 0equals112 feet per second. (a) find the time(s) that the projectile will reach a height of 192 ft when v 0equals112 feet per second. select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
