How does Connecticut energy affect the stopping distance of a vehicle traveling at 30 mph compared to the same vehicle traveling

at 60 mph?
Physics

kotegsom [21]3 years ago
6 0

Formula for stopping distance can be calculated by

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

here

v_f = 0

d = \frac{v_f^2}{2a}

now we can see from above equation that stopping distance depends on square of the speed.

So as we can see that here 30 mph and 60 mph, if the speed is double then the stopping distance will become four times more.

Radio waves of frequency 1.667 GHzGHz arrive at two telescopes that are connected by a computer to perform interferometry. One p
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

The frequency of radio waves is 1.667 GHz

One portion of the same wave front travels 1.260 mm farther than the other before the two signals are combined.

There are two conditions for interference either constructive or destructive.

For constructive interference , the path difference is n times of wavelength and for destructive interference, the path difference is (n+1/2) times of wavelength

We can find wavelength in this case as follows :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.667\times 10^9}\\\\\lambda=0.1799\ m

If we divide path difference by wavelength,

\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =\dfrac{1.26}{0.1799}\\\\\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =7\\\\\delta =7\lambda

It means that the path difference is 7 times of the wavelength. it means the two waves combine constructively and the value of m for the path difference between the two signals is 7.

What are two ways in which the suns energy can be captured and used?
My name is Ann [436]

The oldest way ... the way we've been using as long as we've been
walking on the Earth ... has been to use plants.  Plants sit out in the
sun all day, capturing its energy and using it to make chemical compounds. 
Then we come along, cut the plants down, and eat them.  Our bodies
rip the chemical compounds apart and suck the solar energy out of them,
and then we use the energy to walk around, sing, and play video games.  

Another way to capture the sun's energy is to build a dam across a creek
or a river, so that the water can't flow past it.  You see, it was the sun's
energy that evaporated the water from the ocean and lifted it high into
the sky, giving it a lot of potential energy.  The rain falls on high ground,
up in the mountains, so the water still has most of that potential energy
as it drizzles down the river to the ocean.  If we catch it on its way, we
can use some of that potential energy to turn wheels, grind our grain,
turn our hydroelectric turbines to get electrical energy ... all kinds of jobs. 

A modern, recent new way to capture some of the sun's energy is to use
photovoltaic cells.  Those are the flat blue things that you see on roofs
everywhere.  When the sun shines on them, they convert some of its
energy into electrical energy.  We use some of what they produce, and
we store the rest in giant batteries, to use when the sun is not there.

A very long train is rolling at 4 m/s along a straight track. An observer is standing on the ground very dangerously close to th
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

A. \vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B.  t = 50 s

Explanation:

A. The vectorial equation of the person who is getting closer to the other person is:

\vec{r}=\vec{v}t

r: position vector

v: speed vector = 6m/s i  (if you consider the motion as a horizontal motion)

Then, you replace and obtain:

\vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B. The time is:

t=\frac{d}{v}

d: distance to the observer = 300m

v: speed of the person on the car = 6.00 m/s

t=\frac{300m}{6m/s}=50s

Wave power can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.

<h3>What can be the challenges of wave power?</h3>

Wave power is a device that can be used to convert the mechanical energy of the ocean waves into electrical energy based on the principle of conservation of energy.

The major challenges that face the use of wave power in electricity generation is the unreliability of the waves which leads to uncertainty in the quantity of power generated Also, the wave direction and direction of ocean currents all limit the amount of power generated by this method. However, in spite of challenges, it can be regarded as a reliable source of energy because the ocean currents are always moving.
