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

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

T = 1.108\,s

Explanation:

The period of a physical pendulum is:

T = \sqrt{\frac{I_{O}}{m\cdot g \cdot L} }

T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}\cdot m \cdot L^{2} }{m\cdot g\cdot L} }

T=2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{L }{3\cdot g} }

The length of the leg is approximately the height of the person:

L = 0.915\,m

The period is:

T = 2\cdot \pi \sqrt{\frac{0.915\,m}{3\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )} }

T = 1.108\,s

How did particles in the solar nebula eventually form earth
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

At the high temperatures of the inner solar nebula, the small proto-planets were too hot to hold the volatile gases that dominated the solar nebula. These proto-planets were Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Explanation:

The materials that accreted into the early Earth were probably added piecemeal, without and particular order. The early earth was very hot from gravitational compression, impacts and radioactive decay; the earth was partially molted. The denser metallic liquids sank to the center of the Earth and less denser silicate liquids rose to the top. In this way the Earth differentiated very quickly into a metallic, mostly iron core and a rocky silicate mantle.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

32 °C.

Explanation:

Hola.

En este caso, debemos entender que la relación entre el calor y la temperatura viene dada por:

Q=mCp\Delta T

De este modo, dado que estamos estudiando la misma sustancia (agua) con masa constante, la relación calor-temperatura es lineal y directamente proporcional, por tal razón, si se duplica el calor suministrado, la temperatura también será duplicada, de modo que:

\Delta T_{nuevo}=2*16\°C\\\\\Delta T_{nuevo}=32\°C

¡Saludos!
