A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr

affic has come to a stop in all lanes 120 m ahead. What is the maximum reaction time the driver can have and still be able to stop in the available distance? Hint: During the driver’s reaction time, the car continues to have the initial velocity of 33 m/s.

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

What is the output voltage from a step up transformer with 25 turns in the primary coil and 75 turns in the secondary coil if th
Greeley [361]

Answer:

360 V

Explanation:

We can use the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{N_p}=\frac{V_s}{N_s}

where

V_p is the primary (input) voltage

N_p is the number of turns in the primary coil

V_s is the secondary (output) voltage

N_s is the number of turns in the secondary coil

In this problem,

V_p = 120 V\\N_p = 25\\N_s = 75

Substituting into the equation, we can find the output voltage:

V_s = N_s \frac{V_p}{N_p}=(75)\frac{120}{25}=360 V

When a beam of charged particles moves through a magnetic field, what is the evidence that particles in the beam have momentum g
Vsevolod [243]

The charged particles are often deflated in a magnetic field.

<h3>What is a magnetic field?</h3>

The term charge refers to a positive or negative entity. The can be created when a charge is made to pass through a conductor in a magnetic field.

A magnetic field is created when we have a north pole and a south pole. The charged particles could be made to pass through the electric field and when that happens, we can see a pattern a shown in the image attached.

Thus, we can see that the charged particles are often deflated in a magnetic field.

A parallel-plate capacitor has a plate area of 0.2m^2 and a plate separation of 0.1mm. To obtain an electric field of 2.0 × 10^6
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

3.536*10^-6 C

Explanation:

The magnitude of the charge is expresses as Q = CV

C is the capacitance of the capacitor

V is the voltage across the capacitor

Get the capacitance

C = ε0A/d

ε0 is the permittivity of the dielectric = 8.84 x 10-12 F/m

A is the area = 0.2m²

d is the plate separation = 0.1mm = 0.0001m

Substitute

C = 8.84 x 10-12 * 0.2/0.0001

C = 1.768 x 10-8 F

Get the potential difference V

Using the formula for Electric field intensity

E = V/d

2.0 × 10^6  = V/0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^6  * 0.0001

V = 2.0 × 10^2V

Get the charge on each plate.

Q = CV

Q =  1.768 x 10-8 * 2.0 × 10^2

Q = 3.536*10^-6 C

Hence the magnitude of the charge on each plate should be 3.536*10^-6 C

Which countries that had sea ice along their coasts in September 1986 were bordered by open water in September 2017?
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland

Explanation:

Sea ice is a frozen seawater that floats on the ocean surface. It is formed between the Antarctic and Arctic hemisphere. It disappears in summer but not completely. The countries that experienced sea ice in 1986 were eight (8) in number but the countries bordered by open water were in September 2017 were Norway, Iceland, Finland and Russia.

If the mass of both objects are doubled while the
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The force becomes 16 times what it is now.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational force is

F = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

When you do what you have described, you are setting a stage that not even the USS Enterprise (Star Trek) can get out of. The increase is huge.

If you double m1 and m2 and don't do anything to r, you've already increased the force by 4 times. (2m1 * 2m2 = 4 * m1 * m2)

But you are not finished. If you 1/2 the distance, you are again increasing the Force by 4 times. 1 / (2r) ^2 = 1/ 4* r^2

Because this is in the denominator, the 1/4 is going to flip to the numerator.

So the total increase is going to be 4 * (4 * m1 * m2) = 16 * m1 * m2.

Think about what that means. If you were out golfing, your drives would be roughly 1/16 times as far as they are now. Also you would be lugging around 16 times your weight around the golf course. My feeling is that you would never finish 5 holes at that rate.
