I believe the answer is D. <span>The hypothesis is revised and another experiment is conducted.</span>
The steps in the heating of a metal seat in a park are:
Step 1: Heat travels from the sun to Earth
Step 2: Heat travels through atmosphere to the top of the seat
Step 3: Heat from the top of the seat travels through the seat to the lower parts of the seat.
-- Heat is transferred by radiation in Step 1 and Step 2. <em>(B)</em>
-- From the top of the seat to the bottom, heat is transferred by conduction.
There's no convection happening anywhere in the park-hot-seat scenario.
Answer:
1. -8.20 m/s²
2. 73.4 m
3. 19.4 m
Explanation:
1. Apply Newton's second law to the car in the y direction.
∑F = ma
N − mg = 0
N = mg
Apply Newton's second law to the car in the x direction.
∑F = ma
-F = ma
-Nμ = ma
-mgμ = ma
a = -gμ
Given μ = 0.837:
a = -(9.8 m/s²) (0.837)
a = -8.20 m/s²
2. Given:
v₀ = 34.7 m/s
v = 0 m/s
a = -8.20 m/s²
Find: Δx
v² = v₀² + 2aΔx
(0 m/s)² = (34.7 m/s)² + 2 (-8.20 m/s²) Δx
Δx = 73.4 m
3. Since your braking distance is the same as the car in front of you, the minimum safe following distance is the distance you travel during your reaction time.
d = v₀t
d = (34.7 m/s) (0.56 s)
d = 19.4 m
