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

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

1)  energy = 15.6 kWh,  2)    total_cost = $ 2.03

Explanation:

1) The energy dissipated is the product of the power and the time of use In a month it was used t = 6.5 h and the power of the toaster is

P = 2400 W = 2,400 kW

       energy = P  t

       energy = 2,400  6.5

        energy = 15.6  kWh

using rounding to a decimal

        energy = 15.6 kWh

2) The cost of energy is unit_cost = $ 0.13 / kWh

so the total cost

         total_cost = energy    unit_cost

         total_cost = 15.6   0.13

         total_cost = $ 2.028  

rounding to two decimal places

         total_cost = $ 2.03

zlopas [31]

Answer: C

Explanation: Side post terminals need to be removed to inspect them for corrosion.

Over tightening the terminal bolt can damage side post terminals.

The battery terminals and cable ends can corrode especially when the battery or car is not used for a long period of time. Corrosion limits a battery's lifespan and so should be prevented. To inspect the areas where corrosion occur on a side-post battery, you need to remove the terminals.

Also, it is true that over tightening the terminal bolt can damage the side post terminals. The covering on the battery can become twisted, and make the seals on the terminals leak.

Inessa [10]
For this problem, we would be using the formula: Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad 
where:
Vf = 400m/s 
Vi = 300m/s 
a = ? 
d = 4.0km 
= 4000m 

400^2 = 300^2 + 2a4000 
a = [ 160000 - 90000 ] / 8000 
a = 8.75m/s^2 
rounding it off to 2 significant figures, will give us 8.8 m/s^2.
