A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step

s on the brake pedal and manage to stop the car in 6 s. The distance of the cows from the car when the driver spotted them is 160 m. How far are the cows from the car when the car stops?

From laws of motion:

S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s


Substitute the values, hence:
S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6
S = (18) \times 6 \\  \\ S = 108m

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m

The head of a rattlesnake can accelerate at 49 m/s2 in striking a victim. If a car could do as well, how long would it take to r
Anettt [7]
<h2>Time taken is 0.459 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = 81 km/hr = 22.5 m/s    

     Time, t = ?

     Acceleration, a = 49 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      22.5 = 0 + 49 x t

                      t = 0.459 seconds

   Time taken is 0.459 seconds

If two charged objects each have 2.5 C of charge on them and are located 100 m apart, how strong is the electrostatic force betw
LiRa [457]

Answer:

5.619×10⁶ N

Explanation:

Applying,

F = kqq'/r²................... Equation 1

Where F = electrostatic force between the charges, k = coulomb's constant, q = first charge, q' = second charge, r = distance btween the charges

From the questiion,

Given: q = 2.5 C, q' = 2.5 C, r = 100 m

Constant: 8.99×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute these values into equation 1

F = (2.5×2.5×8.99×10⁹)/100²

F = 56.19×10⁵

F = 5.619×10⁶ N

To transform electrical energy into mechanical energy, the electromagnet in a
lidiya [134]

Answer:

Motors commonly contain a "commutator" which allows a magnetic field due to a loop of wire to always be in a say "clockwise or counterclockwise" direction even tho the loop of wire is rotating.

That means that magnetic field due to the surrounding magnets is always in the same direction, but the magnetic field due to the rotating   loop of wire is continually changing so that it will always oppose the surrounding field which remains in a constant direction.

This is most easily seen in a "DC - direct current motor".

What does a “fixed amount of fuel” mean?
klemol [59]

Answer:

A "fixed price" energy tariff means that your unit price for gas and electricity will not change for the duration of the plan. A variable rate means your energy price can vary during the plan. If you have a fixed price plan and your supplier announces a price rise, your rates will not change.
