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.

What type of energy transformation takes place in bicycle.
Alisiya [41]

Answer: mechanical energy

Explanation: pedaling the bike is transforming chemical energy, supplied by the breakdown of the food you eat, into mechanical energy to turn the pedals. The chemical energy is potential and the mechanical energy is kinetic.

What is the current I(3τ), that is, the current after three time constants have passed? The current in the circuit will approach
Olin [163]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

a

I(\tau)=0.051 A

b

I(3 \tau)=0.076 A

c

I_c= 0.08 A

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

                I(t) = \frac{e}{R}(1-e^{\frac{t}{\tau} }) ; \ Where \ \tau = L/R

From the question we are told to find I(\tau) when t=0  equals the time constant (\tau)

That is to obtain I(\tau).This  is mathematically represented as

                   I(\tau = t)  = \frac{\epsilon}{R} (1- e^{-\frac{\tau}{\tau} })

             Substituting 12 V for \epsilon and 150Ω for R

                     I(\tau) = \frac{12}{150} (1- e^{-1})

                            =0.051 A

From the question we are told to find I(3 \tau) when t=0  equals the 3 times the  time constant (\tau)

That is to obtain I(3\tau).This  is mathematically represented as

                 I(\tau = t)  = \frac{\epsilon}{R} (1- e^{-\frac{3\tau}{\tau} })

                  I(\tau) = \frac{12}{150} (1- e^{-3})

                        =0.076 A

As tends to infinity \frac{\infty}{\tau}  = \infty

So I_c would be mathematically evaluated as

               I_c=I(\infty) = \frac{12}{150} (1- e^{- \infty})

                   = \frac{12}{150}

                   = 0.08 A

The kinetic energy of a sliding block came from the:
patriot [66]

Answer:

Correct sentence: gravitational potential energy of the mass on the hook.

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of a body or a physical system is the sum of its kinetic energy and potential energy. It is a scalar magnitude related to the movement of bodies and to forces of mechanical origin, such as gravitational force and elastic force, whose main exponent is Hooke's Law. Both are conservative forces. The mechanical energy associated with the movement of a body is kinetic energy, which depends on its mass and speed. On the other hand, the mechanical energy of potential origin or potential energy, has its origin in the conservative forces, comes from the work done by them and depends on their mass and position. The principle of conservation of energy relates both energies and expresses that the sum of both energies, the potential energy and the kinetic energy of a body or a physical system, remains constant. This sum is known as the mechanical energy of the body or physical system.

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the block comes from the transformation in this of the gravitational potential energy of the suspended mass as it loses height with respect to the earth, keeping the mechanical energy of the system constant.

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2  

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print A=0.5m^2

Area of both the foot A=2\times 0.5=1m^2

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2

So the pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2 when person stands on both feet.
