Given:
Stopping distance range is d = (65, 70) ft.

The stopping distance, d, obeys this formula.
d = v²/(2μg)
where
v = speed of the vehicle
μ = 0.8, coefficient of static friction under good road conditions
g =  acceleration due to gravity, 32.2 ft/s²

Therefore
v = √(2*0.8*32.2*d) = 7.178√d

Test d = 65 ft.
v = 7.178√(65) = 57.87 ft/s = (57.87/88)*60 = 39.5 mph

Test d = 70 ft.
v = 7.178√(70) = 60.05 ft/s = 40.9 mph

To be safe, the lower speed of 39.5 mph is preferred.

Answer: 40 mph

The blackbody radation emmitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of 1.9 x 10^-6 m (0.0000019 m). what is the temperature ins
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Temperature, T = 1542.10 K

Explanation:

It is given that,

The black body radiation emitted from a furnace peaks at a wavelength of, \lambda=1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m

We need to find the temperature inside the furnace. The relationship between the temperature and the wavelength is given by Wein's law i.e.

\lambda\propto \dfrac{1}{T}

or

\lambda=\dfrac{b}{T}

b = Wein's displacement constant

\lambda=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{T}

T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{\lambda}

T=\dfrac{2.93\times 10^{-3}}{1.9\times 10^{-6}\ m}

T = 1542.10 K

So, the temperature inside the furnace is 1542.10 K. Hence, this is the required solution.

Upthrust given by Water to the body
erica [24]

Answer:

According to Archimedes principle the upthrust on the body is equal to the weight of the water displaced by the body. ... Here, the mass would be the net difference in the weight of the object.
