Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75s before he or she can react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes abo

ut 3s for a driver having 0.1% alcohol in his system to do the same.
If such drivers are traveling on a straight road at 30mph (44 )ft/s and their cars can decelerate at 24ft/s^2 , determine the shortest stopping distance d for normal driver from the moment he or she see the pedestrians.

Also, Determine the shortest stopping distance for drunk driver from the moment he or she see the pedestrians.

Answer:

<u>NORMAL DRIVER: </u>d = 73.3 ft

<u>DRUNK DRIVER: </u>d = 172.3

Explanation:

<u>NORMAL DRIVER:</u>

Distance covered in initial 0.75s = 0.75s *44 =  33ft

USING THE THIRD EQUATION OF MOTION

V^2-U^2 = 2as

0-(44)^2 = 2 (-24) s

s = 1936/48 =40.3 ft

d = 33 + 40.3 = 73.3 ft

<u>DRUNK DRIVER:</u>

Distance covered in initial 3s = 3s *44 =  132 ft

USING THE THIRD EQUATION OF MOTION

V^2-U^2 = 2as

0-(44)^2 = 2 (-24) s

s = 1936/48 =40.3 ft

d = 132 + 40.3 = 172.3 ft

What is the largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field?
Alina [70]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. But your question seems incomplete. I will assume you based the situation below:

<span>An electrons moves at 2.0x10^6 m/s through a region in which there is a magnetic field of unspecified direction and magnitude 7.4x10^-2 T. 

The </span> largest possible magnitude of the acceleration of the electron due to the magnetic field is <span>= 2.6 × 10 ¹⁶ m / s ²</span>

4- by eating food only will you get energy?​
Serga [27]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work. This energy comes from the food we eat. Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach.

Which statement is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp?
Paha777 [63]

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp. The correct answer is option C

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body when the body is at rest. Potential energy is at time called gravitational potential energy which as a product of mass of the body, acceleration due to gravity and the height attained by the body. That is,

P.E = mgh

When a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car can never remain the same except the car stop at a certain point.

Whenever a car is moving down a ramp, the potential energy of the car will be highest when the car is release at the top of the ramp. And lowest when the car reaches the bottom of the ramp.

The statement that is correct about the potential energy of a car moving down a ramp is:

Potential energy is highest when the car is released at the top of the ramp.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C
