In physics, motion is a change in position of an object with respect to time. Motion is typically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, time and speed.

Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,  

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car  

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>

If a crow flies west for 60 km and then south for 45 km, what is the direction of its displacement?
son4ous [18]
That's 105 km that he flew, or 65.2 miles !  I'm absolutely positive
that the crow must have landed and gotten some rest when you
weren't looking.  But that had no effect on his displacement when
he got where he was going, so we can continue to solve the problem:


The displacement is the distance and direction from the place
where the crow took off to the place where he landed.

-- It's distance is the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose legs
are 60 km and 45 km.

        D²  =  (60 km)²  +  (45 km)²

              =    3,600 km²  +  2,025 km²  =  5,625 km²

         D  =  √(5625 km²)  =  75 km .    
 
-- It's direction is the angle whose tangent is  (45 S / 60 W).

         tan⁻¹ (45/60)  =  tan⁻¹ (0.75)  =  36.9° south of west

                                                         =  53.1° west of south.

                                                         =  not exactly southwest but close.

A parcel of land is in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The base has a length of 425 ft.; the other sides, which are of equal
kogti [31]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 636.6 ft    

Explanation:

Data

base = 425 ft

angle = 39°

See the picture below

1.- Divide the triangle to get two right triangles.

    Now the superior angle will measure 19.5° and the opposite side will measure 212.5 ft

2.- Use the trigonometric function sine to find the hypotenuse

     sin 19.5 = 212.5/hyp

solve for hyp

    hyp = 212.5 / sin 19.5

Result

    hyp = 212.5/ 0.333

    hyp = 636.6 ft

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

EXplained

Explanation:

from conservation of energy

change in potential energy = gain in kinetic energy

so as all he balls are throws from the same height thus the change in potential energy is the same for all the balls thus the gain in kinetic energy is the same for all the balls and as they have the same initial velocity thus the final velocity is the same for all the balls.
