Answer:
A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant
Explanation:
A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down
Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way
1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication
2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted
3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system
4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc
5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle
Answer:
u_e = 9.3 * 10^-8 J / m^3 ( 2 sig. fig)
Explanation:
Given:
- Electric Field strength near earth's surface E = 145 V / m
- permittivity of free space (electric constant) e_o = 8.854 *10^-12 s^4 A^2 / m^3 kg
Find:
- How much energy is stored per cubic meter in this field?
Solution:
- The solution requires the energy density stored between earth's surface and the source of electric field strength. The formula for charge density is given by:
u_e = 0.5*e_o * E^2
- Plug in the values given:
u_e = 0.5*8.854 *10^-12 *145^2
u_e = 9.30777 * 10^-8 J/m^3
Answer: c) 450 kPa
Explanation:
Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
(At constant temperature and number of moles)
where,
= initial pressure of gas = 150 kPa
= final pressure of gas = ?
= initial volume of gas = v L
= final volume of gas = 
Therefore, the new pressure of the gas will be 450 kPa.
Advantages include low costs and minimal labor.Water stays in the root zone, and foliage stays dry. Drawbacks to surface irrigation include potential overwatering and wasteful runoff.
