Answer:

45 s

Explanation:

To find the time it takes to stop, we first find the deceleration, a of the car from

v² = u² + 2as and a = (v² - u²)/2s were v = final velocity of car = 0 mph = 0 m/s, u = initial velocity of car = 30 mph = 30 × 1609.34 ft ÷ 3600 s = 13.41 ft/s and s = distance = 300 ft. Substituting the values into a, we ave

a = (v² - u²)/2s = (0² - 13.41²)/2×300 = -0.3 ft/s²

We then find the time for this deceleration from v = u + at ⇒ t = (v - u)/a

t = (v - u)/a = (0 - 13.41 ft/s)/-0.3 ft/s² = - 13.41 ft/s/-0.3 ft/s² = 44.7 s ≅ 45 s

So it takes 45 seconds to stop.

HELLLPPP <br>why didnt people in marie curies time realize radioactivity could be harmfull?​
Anika [276]

Answer:Health

Throughout her work with radium, Marie was unaware of the effects of radioactivity exposure on the body. In her lab, she would keep tubes of radium in her pocket. [3] She began to suspect that radium negatively impacted health when one of her fellow researchers died of a blood disease, and then a few years later her personal assistant died of a blood disease. Even though she suspected that radium exposure was bad for her health, she did very little to monitor her own blood. In 1932, she broke her wrist and the break took much longer to heal than it should have. She then began to notice that her vision was deteriorating and radiation burns on her fingers were becoming more and more painful. Some days she felt too ill to even go to the lab, and finally on July 4, 1934, Marie died from aplastic anemia. [1]

Radium Exposure Treatments

Marie suspected that her health was being negatively impacted by radium exposure, but did nothing about it, most likely because there weren't any effective treatments for radium poisoning yet. At the time, scientists knew that radium was metabolized like calcium. In an attempt to remove it from the system, they manipulated calcium intake. [4] This caused little to no improvements, so parathyroid hormone was added to the treatment. Again, there was some reduction of radium, but not a significant amount. It wasn't until after Marie's death that they realized once radium is in the bones, it is extremely difficult to extract. The lack of therapies for radium exposure may explain why Marie just ignored her symptoms, because she was fully aware of her fate. [4]

Calculate the displacement and velocity at 2.00 s for a ball thrown straight up with an initialvelocity of 15.0 m/s. Take the po
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The displacement, velocity and time is 20.4 m, -4.52 m/s and 3.624 sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial velocity =15.0 m/s

Height = 10 m

We need to calculate the displacement at 2 sec

Using equation of motion

s=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2+s_{0}

Put the value into the formula

s=15t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2+10

At 2 sec,

s=15\times2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times4+10

s=20.4\ m

We need to calculate the time

Using equation of motion again

s=15t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2+10

At ground s = 0,

15t-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times t^2+10=0

4.9t^2-15t-10=0

t = 3.624\ sec

Neglect the negative term because the time is not negative

We need to calculate the velocity

Using formula of velocity

v=u-gt

v=15-9.8\times3.624

v=-4.52\ m/s

Hence, The displacement, velocity and time is 20.4 m, -4.52 m/s and 3.624 sec.
