The brakes on your automobile are capable of creating a deceleration of 4.6 m/s^2. If you are going 114 km/h and suddenly see a

state trooper, what is the minimum time in which you can get your car under the 79 km/h speed limit? (The answer reveals the futility of braking to keep your high speed from being detected with a radar or laser gun.)

Answer:

The minimum time to get the car under max. speed limit of 79 km/h is 2.11 seconds.

Explanation:

a=\frac{V_f-V_0}{t}

isolating "t" from this equation:

t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}

Where:

a=-4.6m/s^2 (negative because is decelerating)

V_f= 79 km/h

V_0= 114 km/h

First we must convert velocity from km/h to m/s to be consistent with units.

79\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{79*1000}{3600}=21.94 m/s

114\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1000m}{1 km}*\frac{1h}{3600s}=\frac{114*1000}{3600}=31.67 m/s

So;

t=\frac{V_f-V_0}{a}=\frac{21.94 m/s-31.66m/s}{-4.6 m/s^2}=2.11 s

Neporo4naja [7]

0.345 m.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The wavelength is the distance that the wave travels in each cycle. The wave travels 345 meters in each second. Let the wavelength of this wave be \lambda. That's the distance the wave travels in one cycle.

The frequency of the sound wave is 1 000 Hz, meaning that there are 1 000 cycles in each second. The wave travels a distance of 1 000 wavelengths in one second. That would be a distance of 1,000\;\lambda.

From the speed of the wave, the wave travels 345 meters in one second. In other words,

1,000\;\lambda = 345.

\lambda = \dfrac{345}{1,000} = 0.345\;\text{m}.

To generalize:

\lambda = \dfrac{v}{f},

where

  • \lambda wavelength of the wave,
  • v the speed of the wave, and
  • f the frequency of the wave.

Volume , mass, and weight can be measured with balances, scales, and ?
BigorU [14]


If you are talking about volume, then an easy way to measured the volume of a liquid would be with a graduated cylinder. A graduated cylinder is marked with volume units such as milliliter (mL) or the liter (L). One liter equals 1 thousand milliliters.

To measure the volume of a solid you use the formula V = (Length)(Width)(Height)

To measure the volume of a gas you use a graduated cylinder held upside down. At first the cylinder is filled with water. When air is blown into the cylinder, bubbles rise and push some water down. The volume of the water pushed down is equal to the volume of the gas that was blown in.

1) Because you have a lower chance of getting electrocuted, 2) 1.DON'T plug a bunch of stuff into one outlet or extension cord, 2.Make sure all electric cords are tucked away neatly, 3.DON'T ever climb the fence around an electrical substation, 4.DON'T yank an electrical cord from the wall, 5.Keep electrical stuff far away from water, 6.Ask a grown-up for help. 3) <span>Always determine if there is power to a circuit or wire using a voltmeter. Never touch any part of a circuit if you did not verify yourself that the the power is off(disconnected). { Trust but verify :President R. Reagan} Having turned off or disconnected the power assure that it cannot be accidentally turned on again by another person.                  Your Welcome.</span>

goblinko [34]

Answer:

4sec

Explanation:

Since we know the initial velocity=0, acceleration = -4; and the displacemnt =14, we use the equation d = vi • t + ½ • a • t2. So, just plug in the values and solve for t in this case it's 4 sec
