A car is cruising at a steady speed of 35 mph. Suddenly, a cuddly puppy runs out into the road. The driver takes 1.7 seconds to

react, and then slams on the brakes. The brakes slow the car down at constant acceleration for 4.0 seconds until the car stops. The puppy, unharmed, happily skips away. 1. What is the total distance traveled between when the driver rst sees the puppy to when the car stops

Answer:

The distance traveled is 0.037 mi

Explanation:

The equation for the position and velocity of an accelerated object is:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

v = v0 + a * t

where

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

t = time

a = acceleration

v0 = initial velocity

If the velocity is constant, then a = 0 and the position will be:

x = x0 + v * t where "v" is the velocity

First, let´s find the distance traveled until the driver push the brake:

The speed is constant. Then:

x = x0 + v * t (considering the origin of the reference system to be located at the point at which the driver sees the puppy, x0 = 0)

x = 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600 s) * 1.7 s = 0.017 mi

Then, the drivers moves with constant acceleration until the car stops (v = 0)

From the equation for velocity:

v = v0 + a * t

Since v = 0, we can obtain the acceleration of the car until it stops. With that acceleration, we can calculate how much distance the car moves before it stops.

0 = v0 + a * t

-v0 / t = a

-35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) / 4.0 s = a

a = -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²

The distance traveled will be:

x = x0 + v0 * t + 1/2 * a * t²

Now x0 will be the distance traveled before the driver slows down.

x = 0.017 mi + 35 mi/h (1 h / 3600s) * 4 s + 1/2 * ( -2.4 x 10⁻³ mi/s²) * (4s)²

x = 0.037 mi

yanalaym [24]

Answer: 2.75 1/sec

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the puck, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r (1)

Our unknown, is the frequency at which the puck can go around the circle, which is the inverse of the period Tp.

By definition, a period is the time needed by the puck to complete one entire circle.

By definition also , angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle advanced, so we can express this way:

ω = ∆θ / ∆t  

The angle advanced during one period, is exactly (by angle definition) 2 π radians.

So, we can always write the angular velocity, ω, as follows:

ω = 2π / Tp = 2πf

Now, there is a relationship between linear and angular velocity, that can be found applying simply the definition of velocity and of an angle too, as follows:

v = ∆s / ∆t = r ∆θ/∆t = ω r

Replacing in (1), we have:

T = mω2 r2 / r = m ω2r (2)

We have just found that ω= 2πf, so, replacing in (2) :

T = m (2π)2 f2 r  

Solving for f:

f = 1/2π√(T/mr) = 1/2π 17.28 1/sec = 2.75 1/sec

kogti [31]

The atom becomes positively charged.

EXPLANATION :

When all the electrons are removed from the atom, the atom contains only protons and neutrons. The neutron is a neutral nucleon. ...

Hence, the correct answer is that atom will be positively charged.
