On a trip to the Colorado Rockies, you notice that when the freeway goes steeply down a hill, there are emergency exits every fe

w miles. These emergency exits are straight ramps which leave the freeway and are sloped uphill. They are designed to stop runaway trucks and cars that lose their brakes on downhill stretches of the freeway even if the road is covered with ice. You are curious, so you stop at the next emergency exit to take some measurements. You determine that the exit rises at an angle of 10o from the horizontal and is 100m long. What is the maximum speed of a truck that you are sure will be stopped by this road, even if the frictional force of the road surface is negligible?

Answer:

The maximum speed that the truck can have and still be stopped by the 100m road is the speed that it can go and be stopped at exactly 100m. Since there is no friction, this problem is similar to a projectile problem. You can think of the problem as being a ball tossed into the air except here you know the highest point and you are looking for the initial velocity needed to reach that point. Also, in this problem, because there is an incline, the value of the acceleration due to gravity is not simply g; it is the component of gravity acting parallel to the incline. Since we are working parallel to the plane, also keep in mind that the highest point is given in the problem as 100m. Solving for the initial velocity needed to have the truck stop after 100m, you should find that the maximum velocity the truck can have and be stopped by the road is 18.5 m/s.

These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)

Suppose that a worker in Freedonia can produce either 6 units of corn or 2 units of wheat per year, and a worker in Sylvania can
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a 30 units of corn and 30 units of wheat.

Explanation:

Initially freedonia has 5 workers producing 30 units of of corn (6 units per worker) and another 5 workers producing 10 units of wheat (2 units per worker)

With the trade agreed between the two countries Freedonia can have all of it's 10 workers producing corn, thereby producing 60 units of corn

30 of these are traded for 30 units of wheat therefore allowing the country to consume 30 units of each product.

Explanation:

Theorem of Binomial Distribution will apply here.

n = 29 , p = .67 , q = 0.33

mean = np = 29 x .67 = 19.43

Standard Deviation = √npq

= √29 x .67 x .33

= √6.4
