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

Which change in an abiotic factor causes coral bleaching? a. increased salinity b. decreased salinity c. decreased turbidity d.
Sedbober [7]

The answer is <u>"d. increased temperature".</u>


At the point when corals are stressed by changes in conditions, for example, temperature, light, or supplements, they remove the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, making them turn totally white. Hotter water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. At the point when water is too warm, corals will oust the algae living in their tissues, making the coral turn totally white. This is known as coral bleaching.  

When a coral blanches, it isn't dead. Corals can endure a bleaching occasion, yet they are under more pressure and are liable to mortality.

A forklift raises a 72-kg crate onto a shelf 3.6 meters above the floor. How much gravitational potential energy does the crate
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

<h2>2540.16 J</h2>

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of a body can be found by using the formula

GPE = mgh

where

m is the mass

h is the height

g is the acceleration due to gravity which is 9.8 m/s²

From the question we have

GPE = 72 × 9.8 × 3.6 = 2540.16

We have the final answer as

<h3>2540.16 J</h3>

Hope this helps you
