Poor visibility, difficulties in colour perception, lessened colour contrast vision due to darker shadows and reduced peripheral vision, these are the reasons why one has to be extra careful while driving during hours of sunrise, sunset and night time.  

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Sunrise, sunset and night time are parts of the day with minimal or absolutely no presence of sunlight. To safely navigate roads, we require enough light in order to detect presence of other vehicles, signs and pedestrians. Less sunlight during sunrise and sunset light the sky but makes the roads and vehicles have a darker, less bright view. The contrast between colours is the least, making it difficult to identify objects and see clearly.  

A rising or a setting sun can also lead to glares on the driver’s view and thus obstruct it. Since a change in ambient light is observed, our eyes need to adjust with this change and this isn’t spontaneous. Night time driving has headlight glares from approaching vehicles and reduced surrounding visibility. The eyes switching for vision adaptability from dark to bright light if vehicles approach and pass by is not a quick action. Hence the driver’s vision is compromised in every such case and this may lead to accidents.

Facts about river deltas
ivolga24 [154]
Deltas are complex depositional landforms that develop at the mouths of rivers. They are composed of sediment that is deposited as a river enters a standing body of water and loses forward momentum. Famous deltas include the Mississippi delta in Louisiana and the Nile delta in Egypt.

A ball that has a mechanical energy of 65 J has 12 J of kinetic energy. The ball has
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The ball has a potential energy of 53 J.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy, E = Kinetic energy + Potential energy

E = K.E + P.E

65 = 12 + P.E

P.E = 65 – 12

P.E = 53 J

Therefore the potential energy of the ball is 53 J

David lifts a book 1.2 meters from the floor to the top of his desk. If the book weighed 0.50 kg, what is the gravitational pote
Anika [276]

Answer:

5.886 J

Explanation:

Given:

The mass of the book is, m=0.5 kg

Height of lift is, \Delta h=1.2 m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.81 m/s²

Now, gain in gravitational potential energy is a function of change in position and is given as:

\Delta PE=mg\Delta h

Here, \Delta PE is the change in gravitational potential energy.

Plug in 0.5 kg for m, 9.81 for g and 1.2 for \Delta h. Solve for \Delta PE

\Delta PE=0.50\times 9.81\times 1.2=5.886\ J

Therefore, the gain in gravitational energy of the book is 5.886 J.

A force of 100 N acts upward. Resolve this force into 2 components; one that acts 30º north of west and one that acts 60º north
GrogVix [38]

To resolve these forces we have to make use of the sines and cosines.

To resolve this force in 30 degree north of west, the answer will be

100*sin(30)

The answer will be 50N

Now to resolve the force acting 60 degree north of east

100* cos(60)

The answer will be 50N.

This also adds to the total force acting that is 50+50=100N. This is the way forces are resolved according to their specified angles.
