One must keep one car width of space to side of vehicle to avoid collision.

What is collision?

Collision is the sudden striking of two bodies that exerts forces on each other thus acelerating the objects in relatively very short time. One must maintain atleast one car width of space to side of vehicle to lower the risk of collision. If the space is lower than one car width than you should lower the speed of car to avoid collision.

One can also follow the two second disciple to avoid collision. According to this rule, the car should maintain two second safe distance behind any other vehicle .It acts as a safety buffer or defensive mechanism to avoid the risk of collision at all times at any speed. Also according to impulse momentum change theorem, the force on each object can be minimized by maintaing more distance. As force and time are inversely proportional in collision.

Therefore, one car width distance is the safest minimum distance to avoid risks of collision .

One baked potato provides an average of 30 mg of vitamin C. If 70 potatoes weigh 20 lb., how many milligrams of vitamin C are pr

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

105 mg

Explanation:

Given that:

1 baked potato provides 30 mg of vitamin C.

So,

70 baked potatoes provide $30\times 70$ mg of vitamin C

Also,

70 potatoes = 20 lb

So,

20 lb potatoes provide $30\times 70$ mg of vitamin C

Thus,

1 lb potatoes provide $\frac {30\times 70}{20}$ mg of vitamin C

Thus, 105 mg of Vitamin C are provided per pound of the potatoes.

Consider eight,eight-cubic centimeter (8 cm3) sugar cubes stacked so that they form a single 2 x 2 x 2 cube. How does the surfac

In-s [12.5K]

To find the surface area of a single cube we first nees to take the cube root of 8cm3 which is 2.

Now we know that the length of each side is 2 and we can find the area of one side by doing 2x2 which is 4.

To find the total surface area of one cube we do 4 times 6 side giving us a total of 24cm2.

To find the total surface area of the 8 individual cubes, we multiply 24cm2 by 8 to give us a total of 192cm2.

Now to find the total surface area of the one large cube, we know that each side of one of the small cubes is 4cm2 and the large cube is set up so that there are two levels of four cubes right on top of each other. So, the total area of each side of the large cube is 4cm2 times 4 which gives us 16cm2.

Then we multiply 16cm2 by 6 sides to give us a total surface area of 96cm2.

The ratio of the surface area of the single large cube comapred to the total surface area of the single cubes is 96:192

We can further simplify this ratio:

96:192

48:96

24:48

12:24

6:12

What is the definition of speed and the formula for calculation?

pashok25 [27]

For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour. If the velocity is non-uniform all you can say is what the average speed is.

On level ground a shell is fired with an initial velocity of 49.0 m/s at 70.0 โ above the horizontal and feels no appreciable ai

xenn [34]

Answer:

Horizontal component = 16.8 m/s

Vertical component = 46.0 m/s

Explanation:

If we denote the initial velocity by v and the angle above the horizontal by θ,

the horizontal component of this initial velocity is given by

$v_x = v\cos \theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\cos\,(70.0^\circ) = 16.8\text{ m/s}$

The vertical component is given by

$v_y = v\sin\theta$

$v_x = (49.0\text{ m/s})\sin\,(70.0^\circ) = 46.0\text{ m/s}$

A charge of -2.65 nC is placed at the origin of an xy-coordinate system, and a charge of 2.00 nC is placed on the y axis at y =

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

A. Fnx = 5.71*10⁻⁵ N , Fny= -3.67*10⁻⁵ N

B. Fn= 6.78 *10⁻⁵ N

C. α= 32.4° counterclockwise with the positive x+ axis

Explanation:

Because the particle q₃ is close to two other electrically charged particles, it will experience two electrical forces and the solution of the problem is of a vector nature.

Equivalences

1nC= 10⁻⁹C

1cm = 10⁻²m

Known data

k= 9*10⁹N*m²/C²

q₁= -2.65 nC =-2.65*10⁻⁹C

q₂= +2.00 nC = 2*10⁻⁹C

q₃= +5.00 nC= =+5*10⁻⁹C

$d_{13} = \sqrt{(3.2)^{2} +(3.8)^{2} }$

$d_{13} =\sqrt{24.68}$ * 10⁻²m = 4.9678* 10⁻²m

(d₁₃)² = 24.68*10⁻⁴m²

d₂₃ = 3.2 cm = 3.2*10⁻²m

Graphic attached

The directions of the individual forces exerted by q₁ and q₂ on q₃ are shown in the attached figure.

The force (F₂₃) of q₂ on q₃ is repulsive because the charges have equal signs and the forces.

The force (F₁₃) of q₁ on q₃ is attractive because the charges have opposite signs.

Magnitudes of F₁₃ and F₂₃

F₁₃ = (k*q₁*q₃)/(d₁₃)²=( 9*10⁹*2.65*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /(24.68*10⁻⁴)

F₁₃ = 4.8 *10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃ = (k*q₂*q₃)/(d₂₃)² = ( 9*10⁹*2*10⁻⁹*5*10⁻⁹) /((3.2)²*10⁻⁴)

F₂₃ = 8.8 *10⁻⁵ N

x-y components of F₁₃ and F₂₃

F₁₃x= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *cos β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.2/ (4.9678)= - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N

F₁₃y= -4.8 *10⁻⁵ *sin β= - 4.8 *10⁻⁵(3.8/(4.9678) = - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃x = F₂₃ = +8.8 *10⁻⁵ N

F₂₃y = 0

x and y components of the total force exerted on q₃ by q₁ and q₂ (Fn)

Fnx= F₁₃x+F₂₃x = - 3.09*10⁻⁵ N+8.8 *10⁻⁵ N= 5.71*10⁻⁵ N

Fny= F₁₃y+F₂₃y = - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N+0= - 3.67*10⁻⁵ N

Fn magnitude

$F_{n} =\sqrt{(Fn_{x})^{2}+(Fn_{y})^{2} }$

$F_{n} = \sqrt{(5.71)^{2}+(3.67)^{2} }$ *10⁻⁵ N

Fn= 6.78 *10⁻⁵ N

Fn direction (α)

$\alpha =tan^{-1}( \frac{Fn_{y} }{Fn_{x} } )$

$\alpha =tan^{-1}( \frac{-3.67 }{5.71} )$

α= -32.4°

α= 32.4° counterclockwise with the positive x+ axis
