You testify as an expert witness in a case involving an accident in which car A slid into the rear of car B, which was stopped a

t a red light along a road headed down a hill. You find that the slope of the hill is θ= 12.0°, that the cars were separated by distance d = 24.0 m when the driver of car A put the car into a slide (it lacked any automatic anti-brake-lock system), and that the speed of car A at the onset of braking was Vo= 18.0 m/s.
With what speed did car A hit car B if the coefficient of kinetic friction was (a) 0.60 (dry road surface) and (b) 0.10 (road surface covered with wet leaves)?

Answer:

Explanation:

a Downward acceleration of car A along the slope

= g sinθ - μ g cosθ

= g ( sinθ - μ  cosθ)

= 9.8 ( sin 12 - .6 x cos 12 )

= 9.8 x ( .2079 - .5869 )

= - 3.714 m / s²

So there will be deceleration

v² = u² - 2 a s

= 18² - 2 x 3.714 x 24

= 324 - 178

= 146

v = 12 .08 m /s

b )

In the second case , kinetic friction changes

downward acceleration

= g ( sinθ - μ  cosθ)

= 9.8 ( sin12 - .1 x cos 12 )

9.8 ( .2079  -  .0978 )

= 1.079 m /s

there will be reduced acceleration

v² = u² - 2 a s

= 18² +2 x1.079 x 24

= 324 + 52

= 376

v = 19.4  m /s

Determine the vector perpendicular to the plane of A= 31+ 6j - 2k and B=4i-j +3k
Sliva [168]

The vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i+ 6j - 2k and B = 4i-j +3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Let r be the vector perpendicular to A and B,

r = A * B

A = 3i + 6j - 2k

B = 4i - j + 3k

a1 = 3

a2 = 6

a3 = - 2

b1 = 4

b2 = - 1

b3 = 3

a * b = ( a2 b3 - b2 a3 ) i + ( a3 b1 - b3 a1 ) j + ( a1 b2 - b1 a2 ) k

a * b = [ ( 6 * 3 ) - ( - 1 * - 2 ) ] i + [ ( - 2 * 4 ) - ( 3 * 3 ) ] j + [ ( 3 * - 1 ) - ( 4 * 6 ) ] k

a * b = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

The perpendicular vector, r = 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Therefore, the vector perpendicular to the plane of A = 3i + 6j - 2k and B = 4i - j + 3k is 16 i - 17 j - 27 k

Why silicon have large forward current as compared to germanium?​
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The structure of Germanium crystals will be destroyed at higher temperature. However, Silicon crystals are not easily damaged by excess heat. Peak Inverse Voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes. Si is less expensive due to the greater abundance of element.

A load of 1 kW takes a current of 5 A from a 230 V supply. Calculate the power factor.
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Load = 1 Kw = 1000 watt

Current (I) = 5 A

Supply (V) = 230 V

Find:

Power factor.

Computation:

Power factor = watts / (V)(I)

Power factor = 1,000 / (230)(5)

Power factor = 1,000 / (1,150)

Power factor = 0.8695

Power factor = 0.87 (Approx)

Write the equations of motions​
Sav [38]

Answer:

In physics, equations of motion are equations that describe the behavior of a physical system in terms of its motion as a function of time.[1] More specifically, the equations of motion describe the behaviour of a physical system as a set of mathematical functions in terms of dynamic variables. These variables are usually spatial coordinates and time, but may include momentum components. The most general choice are generalized coordinates which can be any convenient variables characteristic of the physical system.[2] The functions are defined in a Euclidean space in classical mechanics, but are replaced by curved spaces in relativity. If the dynamics of a system is known, the equations are the solutions for the differential equations describing the motion of the dynamics.

Being able to see a square in the middle of the image despite not having lines to form a square represents the Gestalt principle
vredina [299]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

C. closure.

Gestalt principle of closure describes how we perceive complete figures even when the information that form the figure is missing.

This is due the fact that our brain responds to the familiar patterns inspite of getting incomplete information.

For instance, in the given question, we are able to perceive an image of square in the center despite not having actual lines that form a square.

Thus, it represents principle of closure.
