<span>The correct answer is C) Two-second rule.
</span><span>
</span><span>This means that a driver must maintain a distance that would take at least 2 seconds to cover, at the current speed of the car. This means that in case the car in front suddenly comes to a full stop, the driver of the car behind has 2 seconds react and hit his own brakes. A two-car length rule might be alright when driving at low speeds, but when going at high speeds (on a highway, for example), a two-car length can be covered in a fraction of a second, which means a sudden braking by the car in front would almost guarantee an accident.</span>

(25 pts) Estimate how much collector area and storage capacity would be required for an active solar hot-water system designed t
Aneli [31]

Answer:

The required  total area is 1.48 m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Latitude = 44+° N

New Mexico,

Latitude= 35+° N

Heat capacity = 4200 J/Kg°C

Temperature = 60°C

Let us assume the input temperature 22°C

Estimate volume of water 100 ltr for 4 person.

We need to calculate the heat

Using formula of heat

H=mc_{p}\Delta T

H=mc_{p}(T_{f}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

H=100\times4200\times(60-22)

H=15960\ KJ...(I)

Let solar radiation for 6 hours/day.

We need to calculate the total energy per unit area

Using formula of energy

E=1000\times6\times3600\ J/m^2

E=21600\ KJ/m^2

Let the efficiency of collector is 50 %

Then,  the total energy per unit area will be

E=21600\times\dfrac{50}{100}

E=10800\ KJ/m^2....(II)

We need to calculate the required total area

Using equation (I) and (II)

A=\dfrac{H}{E}

Where, H = heat

E = total energy

Put the value into the formula

A=\dfrac{15960}{10800}

A=1.48\ m^2

Hence, The required  total area is 1.48 m²

Using monochromatic light of 410 nm wavelength, a single thin slit forms a diffraction pattern, with the first minimum at an ang
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

c. 307 nm

Explanation:

angular position of first dark fringe =  λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(40 x π ) / 180 = 410 / d

angular position of second  dark fringe =  2 x λ / d ,   λ is wavelength and  d is width of slit .

(60 x π ) / 180 = 2 x λ / d

Dividing these equations

60 / 40 =  2 x λ / 410

λ = 307.5 nm.

1. 1500j of work was done to move a box 20m. What force was applied to the box ?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1. 75N

2. 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)

Explanation:

1. Work = Force x Distance

we are given that Work = 1,500J and Distance = 20m

hence,

Work = Force x Distance

1,500 = Force x 20

Force = 1,500 ÷ 20 = 75N

2. Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

we are given that mass = 165 kg and change in height = 42m

assuming that gravity, g = 9.81 m/s²

Potential Energy, PE = mass x gravity x change in height

Potential Energy, PE = 165 x 9.81 x 42 = 67,983 J (=67.98 kJ)
