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

When an object of weight w is suspended from the center of a massless string?

I attached a picture of the diagram associated with this question.

Now,
When we check the vertical components of the tension in the rope, we will find that we have two equal components acting upwards.
These two components support the weight and each of them has a value of TcosΘ

The net force acting on the body is zero.
Fnet=Force of tension acting upwards-Force due to weight acting downwards
0 = 2TcosΘ -W
W = 2TcosΘ
T = W / 2cosΘ

1. ¿Cuál es el actor clave de del exceso de peso corporal?
Slav-nsk [51]

El factor mas importante para el exceso de peso es un  exceso de energía creada por una alimentación excesiva

El peso de un cuerpo es definido por la relación entre la energía requerida para los procesos vitales del cuerpo, sus actividades físicas diarias y la energía suministra en forma de alimentos.

Cuando estos dos parámetros están en balance el peso es estable, pero cuando la cantidad de alimentos aumenta o el valor energético de los mismo aumenta se tiene un exceso de energía que el cuerpo almacena en forma de grasa corporal, este el el factor mas importante para el exceso de peso.

En conclusión el factor mas importante para el exceso de peso es un  exceso de energía por una alimentación excesiva

Not sure if it went through last time. Please help asap!
Olin [163]
The equation for force is F=ma. Because we have the value of mass (0.42 kg) and the acceleration (14.8 m/s^2), simply plug them into the equation for force to get
0.42 \times 14.8 = 6.22
The answer is 6.22 N because newtons are the unit used to measure force.

When a object slows down what direction is the force going?
trapecia [35]

Answer: when a object gets slowed down, it's force is either going into friction and drag, if it's on the ground, and weight+drag+friction, if it's in the air.

how do you find work when only given the angle a sled is pulled, the mass, the coefficent of kinetic friction and distance
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

W = F * s    

Work done equals applied force * distance traveled

Apparent weight = M g (1 - sin θ)     since some of applied force will lighten sled

μ = coefficient of kinetic friction

F cos θ = force applied to motion of sled

s = distance traveled

[μ M g (1 - sin θ)] cos θ * s = work done in moving sled

Note that F = μ M g    if applied force is in the horizontal direction
