If your brakes suddenly give out what should you do?

1 answer:

4 0

If your brakes go out, you will do the the following things:
1) Downshift to a lower gear.
2) If regular brakes are available, pump the brake pedal fast and hard to build up brake fluid pressure.
3) After three or four pumps, if the brakes haven’t started working yet, do the third step: use the parking brake.
Slowly apply the parking brake and be prepared for the car to skid.

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the door that leads to the room is opened, this gives room for particles to move into the next identical room and divided into octants. Now the amount of space that can be occupied becomes double, the number of basic states has increased by 404916

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo

Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail $(0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

$x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2$

$y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2$

and its velocity vector has components

$v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t$

$v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t$

After $t=3.00\,\rm s$ , its position is

$x=273\,\rm m$

$y=362\,\rm m$

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

After the engine failure $(t>3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

$x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t$

$y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

and its velocity vector's components are

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

where we take $g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which $v_y=0$ :

$159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s$

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m$

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve $y=0$ for $t$ , then add 3 seconds to this time:

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s$

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of $37.6\,\rm s$ .

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute $x$ for this time $t$ :

$273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m$

NikAS [45]

Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.
