Answer:
A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes
Explanation:
Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:
2as = Vf² - Vi²
s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a
where,
Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h
Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h
a = deceleration of car
s = distance covered
Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.
So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:
s = vt
FOR SOBER DRIVER:
v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s
t = 0.33 s
s = s₁
Therefore,
s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)
s₁ = 24.2 ft
FOR DRUNK DRIVER:
v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s
t = 1 s
s = s₂
Therefore,
s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)
s₂ = 73.33 ft
Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:
ΔS = s₂ - s₁
ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft
<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>
Answer:
The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun
Explanation:
The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.
The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.
The answer is orbit, we are orbiting the sun as the moon orbits us
