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

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

b. end on the n = 2 shell.

Explanation:

When hydrogen atoms move from higher energy level to lower energy level then it shows spectral lines and these lines are known as Balmer series. The only four lines are visible and other liens are not in the visible range.

The Balmer series formed by hydrogen electron and it ends when n = 2.

Therefore the answer is b.

b. end on the n = 2 shell.

What type of eclipse is shown? How do you know?
Sonja [21]
That is a lunar eclipse. At night, when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, the moon would appear to be red. Just for future reference, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. Speaking of which, check out the solar eclipse this August!

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca
Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2
