The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 2.4 m wide and 0.65 m high. The inside rearview mirror is 0.40 m from the driver's eyes, and 2.10 m from the rear window. What is the minimum length for the rearview mirror if the driver is to be able to see the entire width and height of the rear window in the mirror without moving her head? What is the minimum height for the rearview mirror if the driver is to be able to see the entire width and height of the rear window in the mirror without moving her head?

A closed rectangular tank 1.2 m high, 2.4 m long and 1.5 m wide is two-thirds full of gasoline (specic gravity 0.8). Calculate the acceleration which may be imparted to the tank so that the bottom front end of the tank is just exposed. Also calculate the total forces on each end of the tank and show that the dierence between these forces equals the unbalanced force necessary to accelerate the liquid mass in the tank.

A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through the wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 11.6 m, a width of 1.9 mm, and a thickness of 0.11 mm. The wire is connected to the car's 12.0 V battery and draws 7.5 A. Part A What is the resistivity of the wire material? Express...

A rear window defroster consists of a long, flat wire bonded to the inside surface of the window. When current passes through the wire, it heats up and melts ice and snow on the window. For one window the wire has a total length of 12.0 m, a width of 1.8 mm, and a thickness of 0.12 mm. The wire is connected to the car's 12.0 V battery and draws 12.0 A. What is the resistivity of the wire material?

Consider the vertical rear window of an automobile that has a thickness L= 9 mm and height H=0.5 m with heating wires that create uniform volumetric heating. The window interior is exposed to ambient air at 10°C and the window exterior to air at -10°C which moves in parallel flow over the surface with a velocity of 20 m/s. The surface temperature of the window exterior is 12°C. Find the volumetric heating rate necessary to keep the window interior at...

A car carrying a suspicious amount of nitroglycerin in its trunk is rear-ended by another car. When they collide, the nitroglycerin in the first car explodes. You are provided with dynamics carts (including one dynamics cart with a spring launcher that can be cocked to fire), masses, and Vernier motion sensors. a) How would you model each object in this scenario with dynamics carts? What about the interaction between the objects? b) Will momentum be conserved during the collision? c)...

A window of a car is found to be covered with 0.9cm of ice. If the area of the window is 1 m2, and the ice is at -12 degrees Celsius, what is the minimum heat required to melt all the ice? Take the density of ice to be 900 kg/m3, the specific heat capacity of ice to be 0.5 cal/g*K, and the latent heat of fusion to be 80 cal/g. Answer in kcal.
