The stopping sight distance for a car traveling at 50 mph is 461 ft (including both perception-reaction distance and braking dis

tance). The perception-reaction time is 2.5 sec. If a car traveling at 60 mph is to stop in the same distance with the same deceleration, what is most nearly the required perception-reaction time

Answer:

2.08 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Speed,v=50mph=73.3ft/s

1 mile=5280 feet

1 hour=3600 s

Distance,d=461 ft

t=2.5 s

v'=60 mph=88 ft/s

We have to find the perception reaction time.

Perception reaction distance=d_p=vt=73.3\ti es 2.5=183.25 feet

d_p=d'_p

d'_p=v't

t'=\frac{183.25}{88}=2.08 s

How is work related to potential energy and kinetic energy?
NemiM [27]

Featured snippet from the web
Work is the force on the object as it changes a distance. Interestingly, as work is done on an object, potential energy can be stored in that object. For example, if you carry a load up the stairs. Now that load will have potential energy that can be transformed into kinetic energy and so on

g calculate the effectiveness radiation dosage in sieverts for a 79 kg person who is exposed 6.8x10^9
Elza [17]

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{dosage = 0.031 rem}"

Explanation:

please find the complete question in the attached file.

Given value:

m = 79\  kg  \\\\n = 3.4 \times  10^9 \\\\E = 5.5  \times  10^{-13} \\\\ RBE = 15

\to E = n E\\

        = 3.4  \times  10^9  \times  5.5  \times  10^{-13} \\\\      = 1.87 \times  10^{-3}

\to E(absorbed) = 1.87  \times 10^{-3}  \times  0.87 = 1.63  \times  10^{-3}

calculating the radiation absorbed per kg:

= \frac{1.63  \times  10^{-3}}{79}  \\\\ = 2.06  \times  10^{-5} \\\\ = 0.00206 \  rad

\to Dosage = 0.00206  \times  15 \\

                 = 0.031 \ \ rem

Which of the following statements are true about the lenses used in eyeglasses to correct nearsightedness and farsightedness? (T
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

A: They produce a real image.

Explanation:

The images formed on the retina of the eye for a normal visibility must always be real.

Only a real image can be physically projected on any physical object whereas the virtual images are visible due to reflections.

  • The nearsightedness is corrected with the help of a concave lens since it is the condition of the eye lens remaining thick and curved to converge the rays entering the eyes after a shorter distance which results in their image formation even before the retinal surface so to initially diverge them a bit so that they converge on the retinal surface and form the image there we use concave lens. Vice-versa of the above justification in  the case of farsightedness.

Why are rift zones common places for igneous rock to form
nikdorinn [45]
They are commonplaces because they have deep cracks where magma can come from. And we all know that igneous rock is molten lava that has been cooled, so this answer will make sense.
