Data was used from three different stations. Where their data overlapped was where the epicenter was located.
it is called triangulation

A car whose total mass is 800kg travelling with a uniform velocity of 20m/s suddenly observes a stationary dog 50m ahead on its

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force

Explanation:

Kinetic energy will be given by

$KE=0.5mv^{2}$ where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.

Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

$KE=0.5*800*(20 m/s)^{2}=160,000$

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by

$Fr=\frac {KE}{d}$ where d is the distance moved

Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

$Fr=\frac {160000}{50}=3200 N$

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N
