a. The car will not hit the tractor.

b. The car would travel a distance of 52.07 m before stopping

c. At the moment when the car stopped, the tractor is 11.5 m in front of the car.

Linear motion

From the question, we are to determine of you will hit the tractor before you stop

First, we will determine the time it will take the car to stop

From the given information,

Initial velocity, u = 27.0 m/s

a = -7 m/s² (Negative sign indicates deceleration)

v = 0 m/s (Since the car will come to stop)

From one of the equations of linear motion,

v = u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

and t is the time taken

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

0 = 27 + (-7)t

7t = 27

t = 27/7

t = 3.857 secs

This is the time it will take the car to stop

Now, we will determine the distance the car would travel after applying the brakes

Using the formula

S = (u + v) / t

Where S is the distance traveled

S = [(27 + 0) / 2] * 3.857

S = 13.5 * 3.857

S = 52.0695 m

S ≅ 52.07 m

This means the car would travel 52.07 m after applying the brakes

Now, we will determine the distance the tractor would have traveled when the car came to a stop

Speed of the tractor = 10.0 m/s

Time taken for the car to stop = 3.857 secs

Using the formula,

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 10.0 × 3.857

Distance = 38.57 m

Now, we will determine the distance between the car and the tractor when the car finally stopped

Distance between the car and the tractor = Distance ahead + Distance traveled by the tractor after the car stopped - Distance traveled by car after applying the brakes

Distance between the car and the tractor = 25 m + 38.57 m - 52.07 m

Distance between the car and the tractor = 11.5 m

Therefore, the distance the tractor was ahead of the car + the distance the tractor traveled after the car stopped is more than the distance the car traveled after applying the brakes (25 m + 38.57 m > 52.07), the car will not hit the tractor.

<u><em>[NOTE: THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE QUESTION. THE COMPLETE QUESTION IS: You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. you immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.00 m/s2 .</em></u>

<u><em>a.will you hit the tractor before you stop?</em></u>

<u><em>b.how far will you travel before you stop or collide with the tractor?</em></u>

<u><em>c.if you stop, how far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?]</em></u>

Why is it necessary for cells to be so small​
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Cells are small because they need to keep a surface area to volume ratio that allows for adequate intake of nutrients while being able to excrete the cells waste.

Explanation:

That is why the cell needs to be small

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to enter which sentence is correct, let's start by writing Newton's second law.

circular movement

          F = m a

          a = v² / r

          F = m v²/R

where the force is perpendicular to the velocity, all the force is used to change the direction of the velocity

in linear motion

         F = m a

where the force is parallel to the acceleration of the body, the total force is used to change the modulus of the velocity

the correct answer is: have a component along the direction of motion that remains perpendicular to the direction of motion

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3

Explanation:

The original equation is:

Fe + O_2 \rightarrow Fe_2 O_3

We notice that:

- we have 1 atom of Fe on the left, and 2 atoms of Fe on the right

- we have 2 atoms of O on the left, and 3 atoms of O on the right

Therefore, the equation is not balanced.

In order to balance it, we can add:

- a coefficient 3 in front of O_2

- a coefficient 2 in front of Fe_2 O_3

So we have:

Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3

Now the oxygen is balanced, but the iron it not balanced yet, since we have 1 Fe on the left and 4 on the right. Therefore, we should add a coefficient 4 on the Fe on the left:

4 Fe + 3 O_2 \rightarrow 2 Fe_2 O_3

Doss [256]

Answer:

400000\ \text{N/C}

Explanation:

q_1 = Charge at 3000 m = 40 C

q_2 = Charge at 1000 m = -40 C

r_1 = 3000 m

r_2 = 1000 m

k = Coulomb constant = 9\times10^9\ \text{Nm}^2/\text{C}^2

Electric field due to the charge at 3000 m

E_1=\dfrac{k|q_1|}{r_1^2}\\\Rightarrow E_1=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 40}{3000^2}\\\Rightarrow E_1=40000\ \text{N/C}

Electric field due to the charge at 1000 m

E_2=\dfrac{k|q_2|}{r_2^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 40}{1000^2}\\\Rightarrow E_2=360000\ \text{N/C}

Electric field at the aircraft is E_1+E_2=40000+360000=400000\ \text{N/C}.
