When the driver of a car travelling at 36km/h suddenly sees a pedestrian in front of a car, he applies the brakes. The reaction

time of the driver is 0.2s. If the maximum deceleration that the brakes can produce is 20ms, find the maximum stopping distance for the car.

Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = $-\frac{GMm}{R}$

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - $\frac{GMm}{R}$

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = $-\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2$

But $V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }$

Therefore: $E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2= -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R} = -\frac{GMm}{10R}$

W = E - PE

$W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}$

At a department store, you adjust the mirrors in the dressing room so that they are parallel and 6.2 ft apart. You stand 1.8 ft

barxatty [35]

Answer:

<em>a) 3.6 ft</em>

<em>b) 12.4 ft</em>

Explanation:

Distance between mirrors = 6.2 ft

difference from from the mirror you face = 1.8 ft

a) you stand 1.8 ft in front of the mirror you face.

According to plane mirror rules, the image formed is the same distance inside the mirror surface as the distance of the object (you) from the mirror surface. From this,

your distance from your first "front" image = 1.8 ft + 1.8 ft = <em>3.6 ft</em>

b) The mirror behind you is 6.2 - 1.8 = 4.4 ft behind you.

the back mirror will be reflected 3.6 + 4.4 = 8 ft into the front mirror,

the first image of your back will be 4.4 ft into the back mirror,

therefore your distance from your first "back" image = 8 + 4.4 = <em>12.4 ft</em>
