What percentage of railroad crossing crashes result from a vehicle driving into the side of a train?

Physics

The percentage of railroad crossing crashes that results from a vehicle driving into the side of a train is 25%.  
These crashes usually occur as the result of drivers intentionally circumventing warning equipment used at railroad crossings. Drivers typically used their senses to determine the proximity of the train and attempt to cross quickly rather than wait for the train to pass before crossing.

The energy of a photon was found to be 3.38 x 10-19 J. Planck's constant is 6.63 x 10-34 J. S. Which color of light corresponds
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

The correct option is (c).

Explanation:

Given that,

The energy of a photon is, E=3.38\times 10^{-19}\ J

We need to tell the color of this light. We know that, the energy of a photon is given by :

E=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}

Where

c is the speed of light

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{3.38 \times 10^{-19}}\\\\\lambda=5.88\times 10^{-7}\ m\\\\\lambda=588\ nm

The wavelength of yellow light is approx 580 nm. Hence, we can say that this photon corresponds to yellow light.

1. explain why mid-sized cars and SUVs have different rollover fatality rates.
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

1.  They generally have poorer fuel efficiency and require more resources to manufacture than smaller vehicles, thus contributing more to climate change and environmental degradation. Their higher center of gravity increases their risk of rollovers.

2. Mid-sized cars and SUVs both have a fixed object fatality rate of 2.6/BVM. This is most likely because they have a similar mass and inertia. The force of the crash is likely to have about the same deceleration in both vehicles.

What are at least three types of energy involving a microwave
timama [110]
I'm pretty sure what you are trying to ask for is radiative energy, light energy, and electronic energy.
Radiative since the microwave is releasing radiation,
Light since there is light inside the microwave,
Electronic since it is plugged in and uses electricity.
You can also use sound, but I don't think every microwave makes sound.
