You are driving a car with an automatic transmission; the shifter is mounted on the steering column. When you press down on the

brake, the pedal goes all the way to the floorboard. Name the correctly ordered steps you would take in response to this problem.

Answer:

From the narrative in the question, there seem to have been a break failure and the ordered step of response to this problem is to

1) Put on the hazard light to inform other road users of a problem or potential fault with your car and so they should continue their journey with caution.

2) Avoid pressing on the acceleration pedal as this might cause the car to gradually slow down due to friction and gravity

3)Try navigate the car to the service lane. This is the less busy lane where cars are sometimes parked briefly.

4) Continuously pump the breaks to try stop the car. Continuously pumping the breaks might just help you build enough pressure to stop the car because often time, there are some pressure left in the break.

5) At this point, the speed of the car should be relatively slow. So at this point, you could try apply the emergency hand break. Do not pull the emergency hand breaks if the car is on high speed. Doing this may cause the car to skid off the road.

A long, fine wire is wound into a coil with inductance 5 mH. The coil is connected across the terminals of a battery, and the cu
Effectus [21]

Answer:

Compared with the current in the first coil, the current in the second coil is unchanged.

Explanation:

All coils, inductors, chokes and transformers create a magnetic field around themselves consist of an Inductance in series with a Resistance forming an LR Series Circuit.

The steady state of current in the LR circuit is:

I= V/R (1 - e^-Rt/L)

Where I= current

R= Resistance

V= Voltage

Where R/L is the time constant.

For a conducting wire, it has a very small resistance. The time constant will be in microseconds. The current will be in a steady state after few second. The current is independent on the inductance and dependent on the resistance. The length of wire and the resistance here are the same. Therefore, the current remains unchanged.

If the primary coil of a transformer has 200 turns and is supplied with 120 v ac power, how many turns must the secondary coil h
Oduvanchick [21]
The ratio of the turns to the voltage should be equal
i.e: 200/120 = t/12
so the secondary coil should have 20 turns

A cat jumps off a piano that is 1.3m high. The initial velocity of the cat is 3m/s at an angle of 37degrees above the horizontal
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

x=1.75m

Explanation:

From the exercise we have that

y_{o}=1.3m\\v_{o}=3m/s, \beta  =37\\

<em><u>To find how far from the edge of the piano does the cat strike the floor, we need to calculate its time first </u></em>

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

At the end of the motion y=0m

0=1.3+3sin(37)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^{2}

Solving for t

t=-0.36 s or t=0.73s

Since the <u>time</u> can't be negative the answer is t=0.73

Knowing that we can calculate how far does the cat strike the floor

x=v_{ox}t=3cos(37)(0.73)=1.75m
