To stop a car, first you require a certain reaction time to begin braking; then the car slows under the constant braking deceler

ation. Suppose that the total distance moved by your car during these two phases is 58.6 m when its initial speed is 79.2 km/h, and 24.2 m when its initial speed is 47.8 km/h. What are (a) your reaction time and (b) the magnitude of the deceleration

Answer:

a.) 2.66 seconds for 79.2 km/h and 1.82 seconds for 47.8 km/h

b.)-4.13 m/s2 for 79.2 km/h and -3.63 m/s2 for 47.8 km/h

Explanation:

Now for (a)

time = velocity/distance

for velocity = 79.2 km/h and distance 0.0586 km

t = (0.0586/79.2)*3600

t = 2.66 seconds (Please note that multiplication with 3600 is to convert hours into seconds)

for velocity 47.8 km/h and distance 0.0242 km

t = (0.0242/47.8)*3600

t = 1.82 seconds

Now for (b)

2as = vf2-vi2

so,

2a(58.6) = -(79.2*1000/3600)^2 (Please note that multiplication and division with 1000 and 3600 respectively is to convert speed unit from km/h to m/s)

a = -4.13 m/s2 for 58.6 m

and

2a(24.2) = -(47.8*1000/3600)^2

a = -3.63 m/s2 for 24.2 m.

Please note that "-" sign express the deceleration.

If a chemical reaction has a AH value of -125 kJ, it would be considered what?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:  

Exothermic Reaction  

Explanation:  

<u>ENDOTHERMIC REACTION</u>: A chemical reaction is considered endothermic if the energy is absorbed during the reaction. In other words, if the energy is required by the reactants to proceed with the reaction, then the reaction is endothermic.

The value of enthalpy change ΔH is positive in such reactions showing intake of energy.

<u>EXOTHERMIC REACTION</u>: A chemical reaction is considered exothermic if the energy is released during the reaction. In other words, if the energy is produced as a product of the reaction, then the reaction is exothermic.

The value of enthalpy change ΔH is negative in such reactions showing the release of energy.

Since, the value of ΔH = -125 KJ, is negative for the given reaction.

Therefore, it would be considered as <u>Exothermic Reaction.</u>

The lens-makers’ equation applies to a lens immersed in a liquid if n in the equation is replaced by n2/n1. Here n2 refers to th
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

a

The focal length of the lens in water is  f_{water} = 262.68 cm

b

The focal length of the mirror in water is  f =79.0cm

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The index of refraction of the lens material = n_2

    The index of refraction of the medium surrounding the lens = n_1

 

The lens maker's formula is mathematically represented as

            \frac{1}{f} = (n -1) [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

Where f is the focal length

            n is the index of refraction

            R_1 and R_2 are the radius of curvature of sphere 1 and 2 of the lens

From the question When the lens in air  we have  

           \frac{1}{f_{air}} = (n-1) [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

    When immersed in liquid the formula becomes

          \frac{1}{f_{water}} = [\frac{n_2}{n_1} - 1 ] [\frac{1}{R_1} - \frac{1}{R_2}  ]

The ratio of the focal length of the the two medium is mathematically evaluated as

           \frac{f_water}{f_{air}} = \frac{n_2 -1}{[\frac{n_2}{n_1} - 1] }

From the question

      f_{air }= 79.0 cm

       n_2 = 1.55

and the refractive index of water(material surrounding the lens) has a constant value of  n_1 = 1.33

         \frac{f_{water}}{79}  = \frac{1.55- 1}{\frac{1.55}{1.44}  -1}

           f_{water} = 262.68 cm

b

The focal length of a mirror is dependent on the concept of reflection which is not affected by medium around it.

mezya [45]

Answer:

τ ≈ 0.90 N•m

F =

Explanation:

I = ½mR² = ½(10)0.5² = 1.25 kg•m²

α = ω²/2θ = 3.0² / 4π = 0.716... rad/s²

τ = Iα = 1.25(0.716) = 0.8952... ≈ 0.90 N•m

τ = FR

Now we have the unanswered question of reference frame.

80° from what?

If it's 80° from the radial

F = τ/Rsinθ = 0.90/0.5sin80 = 1.818...  ≈ 1.8 N

If it's If it's 80° from the tangential

F = τ/Rcosθ = 0.90/0.5cos80 = 10.311...  ≈ 10 N

There are an infinite number of other potential solutions
