Answer:
66.83 meters
Explanation:
After a quick online search, it seems that scientists calculate the average reaction time of individuals as 2.3 seconds between seeing an obstacle and putting their foot on the brakes. Now that we have this reaction time we need to turn the miles/hour into meters/second.
1 mile = 1609.34 meters (multiply these meters by 65)
65 miles = 104,607 meters
1 hour = 3600 seconds
Therefore the car was going 104,607 meters every 3600 seconds. Let's divide these to find the meters per second.
Now we simply multiply these meters by 2.3 seconds to find out the distance covered before the driver puts his/her foot on the brakes...
29.0575m * 2.3s = 66.83 meters
Answer:
0.345m
Explanation:
Let x (m) be the length that the spring is compress. If we take the point where the spring is compressed as a reference point, then the distance from that point to point where the ball is held is x + 1.1 m.
And so the potential energy of the object at the held point is:
where m = 1.3 kg is the object mass, g = 10m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration and h = x + 1.1 m is the height of the object with respect to the reference point
According to the conservation law of energy, this potential energy is converted to spring elastic energy once it's compressed
where k = 315 is the spring constant and x is the compressed length
x = 0.345 m or x = -0.263 m
Since x can only be positive we will pick the 0.345m
Answer: In particular, electron degeneracy pressure is what supports white dwarfs against gravitational collapse, and the Chandrasekhar limit (the maximum mass a white dwarf can attain) arises naturally due to the physics of electron degeneracy.
Explanation:
The strong nuclear force holds the nucleus of an atom together.
Somehow, it overcomes the electrical force of repulsion between protons in the nucleus, which all have the same charge but still stay close together somehow. (b)
