When driving on slick roads, why is it advisable to apply the brakes slowly?

Physics
1 answer:
ValentinkaMS [17]3 years ago
6 0
When you step on the brakes you activate the pads that touch your tyres and slow you down with friction. If you are driving through rain a small layer of water will develop inbetween the tyre and break pad. This will cause your vehicle to hydroplane and loose control of your vehicle. If you apply the vehicles brakes slowly this reduces the chances of the vehicle loosing control due to the hydro planing not being present. It is also advisable to let go of the gas in heavy rain rather than braking. Hope this helps!

If two stars have the same absolute magnitude, what can be a reason for the difference in their brightness?
AysviL [449]

B. their distances from the sun.

Explanation:

Absolute Magnitude:

Astronomers defines the absolute magnitude of a stars brightness in terms of how bright a star appears from a standard distance of 10 parsecs. Parsec is a unit of distance in astronomy. 10 parsecs is equal to 32.6 light years.

Apparent Magnitude:

Apparent magnitude of a star refers to how bright the star appears at its distance from the Earth.

If two stars have the same absolute magnitude but their apparent magnitude differs, the reason is that the distance of both the stars from the Earth varies. Hence their brightness differs when measured from Earth. The farther a star is from the Earth, the fainter its brightness.

Keywords: star, brightness, parsec, light years, apparent magnitude, absolute magnitude

Electrical wire with a diameter of .5 cm is wound on a spool with a radius of 30 cm and a height of 24 cm.
kow [346]

Answer:

a)   # lap = 301.59 rad , b)   L = 90.48 m

Explanation:

a) Let's use a direct proportions rule (rule of three). If one turn of the wire covers 0.05 cm, how many turns do you need to cover 24 cm

          # turns = 1 turn (24 cm / 0.5 cm)

         # laps = 48 laps

Let's reduce to radians

        # laps = 48 laps (2 round / 1 round)

       # lap = 301.59 rad

b) Each lap gives a length equal to the length of the circle

          L₀ = 2π R

          L = # turns L₀

          L = # turns 2π R

          L = 48 2π 30

          L = 9047.79 cm

          L = 90.48 m

Can someone help me for this question?​
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

A, 0.050 Hz

Explanation:

1) Frequency = speed divided by wavelength

time is 2* 60 = 120 seconds

distance = 6 wave lengths

speed = distance divided by time

speed = 6 wave lengths divided by 120

Hope this helps!
