Answer:
A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant
Explanation:
A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down
Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way
1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication
2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted
3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system
4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc
5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle
Answer:
a) The rate of heat transfer will be 19.58 Watts.

Explanation:
Answer:
1. Location of enemy ground troops - EARTH OBSERVING.
Using earth observing satellite imagery, the military can observe vast expanses of land and in so doing, find the location of enemy ground troops.
2. Routine reconnaissance of an unfamiliar climate - WEATHER
In other to find out more about the climate of an area, a weather satellite can be used to observe the areas and its changing weather patterns.
3. Analyze waterways in an unfamiliar location - NAVIGATION
Using navigation satellites, navigation conduits such as roads and waterways can be observed.
4. Provide warning of an attack - COMMUNICATION.
Communications satellites enable people to communicate over great distances and so can be used by the military to warn of an impending attack.
Answer:
il(t) = e^(-100t)
Explanation:
The current from the source when the switch is closed is the current through an equivalent load of 15 + 50║50 = 15+25 = 40 ohms. That is, it is 80/40 = 2 amperes. That current is split evenly between the two parallel 50-ohm resistors, so the initial inductor current is 2/2 = 1 ampere.
The time constant is L/R = 0.20/20 = 0.01 seconds. Then the decaying current is described by ...
il(t) = e^(-t/.01)
il(t) = e^(-100t) . . . amperes
Answer: 24 pA
Explanation:
As pure silicon is a semiconductor, the resistivity value is strongly dependent of temperature, as the main responsible for conductivity, the number of charge carriers (both electrons and holes) does.
Based on these considerations, we found that at room temperature, pure silicon resistivity can be approximated as 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm.
The resistance R of a given resistor, is expressed by the following formula:
R = ρ L / A
Replacing by the values for resistivity, L and A, we have
R = 2.1. 10⁵ Ω cm. (10⁴ μm/cm). 50 μm/ 0.5 μm2
R = 2.1. 10¹¹ Ω
Assuming that we can apply Ohm´s Law, the current that would pass through this resistor for an applied voltage of 5 V, is as follows:
I = V/R = 5 V / 2.1.10¹¹ Ω = 2.38. 10⁻¹¹ A= 24 pA
