You are driving at the speed of 33.4 m/s (74.7296 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s

peed) brakes. Considering an average human reaction, you press your brakes 0.424 s later. Assume that the brakes on both cars are fully engaged and that the coefficient of friction is 0.862 between both cars and the road.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
a) Calculate the acceleration of the car in front of you when it brakes.
b) Calculate the braking distance for the car in front of you.
c) Find the minimum safe distance at which you can follow the car in front of you and avoid hitting it (in the case of emergency braking described here).

Answer:

Part a)

a = - 8.45 m/s/s

Part b)

d = 66 m

Part c)

d = 14.16 m

Explanation:

Part a)

when car apply brakes then the friction force on the car in front of us is given as

F_f = \mu mg

here we need to find deceleration due to friction

a = \frac{F_f}{m}

a = -\mu g

a = -8.45 m/s^2

Part b)

Braking distance of the car is the distance that it move till it stops

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

0 - 33.4^2 = 2(-8.45)d

d = 66 m

Part c)

Since we know that average reaction time for human is 0.424 s

now we know that during reaction time our car will travel at uniform speed

so we will have

d = vt

d = (33.4) (0.424)

d = 14.16 m

Frame S' passes frame S in the usual way (positive directions). An object also moves in the positive direction. Which is true? T
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is "The object's speed relative to S can be greater than or less than its speed relative to S', depending on the actual values."

Explanation:

The S' frame and the object are moving in a positive direction. The object is moving with respect to the S frame so the S frame the rest frame

take the velocity of the object with respect to the rest frame as v and the velocity of the S' frame with respect S frame as v2

relative velocity of the object to the S' frame would be

Vrel = v2- v

This means the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is less than the Vrel  of the object with respect to the S frame

However is the S' velocity is greater than that of the object then the Vrel of the object with respect to the S' frame is greater than the Vrel of the object with respect to the S frame.

This would mean the second option is the answer, the relative speed of the object depends on the actual values.

The charge on the sphere is monitored as a beam of monochromatic light shines on the sphere. Initially nothing happens. The wave
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

explanation of this effect  is  the photoelectric effect

Explanation:

Let's describe the process, when light of large wavelength falls, this implies a small energy, according to Planck's equation

           E = h f = \frac{h \ c}{ \lambda}

the energy of the photons is not enough to carry out an electronic transition between two states of the material, when we decrease the wavelength (the energy of the photons increases), the point is reached where the energy of the beam is equal to some energy of a transition, by which the electrons are promoted and since we can see a certain charge, as the atoms are neutral, some electrons must be removed from the material, this is represented in the macroscopic case as the work function of the material, consequently a unbalanced load that is what we can measure.

When we increase the lightning intensity, what we do is that we increase the number of photons and if each photon can remove an electron, by removing the electrons the difference between it and the positive charge (fixed in the nuclei) increases.

We can analyze the interaction of the photon and the electron as a particular collision.

The explanation of this effect was made by Einstein in his explained of the photoelectric effect

Insulators have very high .
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Resistance to electrical currents

Explanation:

Conductors have low resistance to electrical currents, and are used to "conduct" the flow of electricity.

Insulators have very high resistance and are used to protect us from the flow of electricity.
