Your speed is one of the only factors that has an effect on both your thinking distance and braking distance. Put simply, the faster you are going, the greater the distance travelled before you apply the brakes (thinking distance) and the vehicle comes to a complete stop (braking distance).

Several many things do.

Thinking distance: speed, driver's alertness or fatigue, light or dark outside, distractions inside the car, distractions outside the car, driver on the phone

Braking distance: speed, size and weight of the car or truck, condition of the tires, the road surface: wet or dry, concrete or tar, dirt or gravel

What information do you think the temperatures of stars give us?
Paul [167]

Explanation:

One way of classifying stars is by their temperature .

or

Science strives to be able to describe how stars and planets form and evolve. This requires theories to describe the processes which include:

Star and planet formation

Star and planet composition

Stellar and solar system evolution

The nuclear processes happening inside stars

The scientific method means that all theories are put to the test. By measuring or calculating the temperature, age and composition of other planets and stars the theories can be tested. If observed values of these parameters are not predicted by theories, then the theories are wrong and need to be revised or replaced.

A small object with a 5.0-mC charge is accelerating horizontally on a friction-free surface at 0.0050 m/s2 due only to an electr
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

0.002 N/C

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Charge of object, q = 5 mC = 5 * 10^{-3} C

Acceleration of object, a = 0.005 m/s^2

Mass of object, m = 2.0 g

The Electric field exerts a particular force on the object, causing it to accelerate (Electrostatic force).

We know that Electrostatic force, F, is given in terms of Electric field, E, as:

F = qE

This means that the object exerts a force of -qE on the Electric force (Action with equal and opposite reaction).

The object also has a force, F, due to its acceleration a. This force is the product of its mass and acceleration. Mathematically:

F = ma

Equating the two forces of the object, we get:

-qE = ma

=> E = \frac{-ma}{q}

Solving for E, we have:

E = \frac{-2 * 10^{-3} * 0.005}{5 * 10^{-3}} \\\\\\E = -0.002 N/C

The magnitude will be:

|E| = |-0.002| N/C = 0.002 N/C

The electric field has a magnitude of 0.002 N/C.

Two service technicians are discussing the best way to thread a rod. Technician A says they should use a tap and die set. Techni
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

Both technicians are right, to be able to make a threaded joint you need to use the external thread on one part of the rod using the tap and die set, and on the other side of the rod you need to have an internal thread using the thread repair insert kit

According to the intuitive guess you just made, is the overall momentum of the two-cart system after the collision greater than,
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

It is equal to the overall momentum before collision, so far no external object is involved.

Explanation:

Momentum is always conserved during collision as a rule. This is equal to the product of the mass and velocity. Thank you.
