Answer:

The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

Explanation:

In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:

x=x_o+v_ot-\frac{1}{2}at^2        (1)

vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h

a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2

t: time

xo: initial distance to the child = 25m

x: final distance to the child = 0m

It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.

You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:

45\frac{km}{h}*\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1km}=12.5\frac{m}{s}

0=25+12.5t-2t^2\\\\2t^2-12.5t-25=0\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{-(-12.5)\pm \sqrt{(-12.5)^2-4(2)(-25)}}{2(2)}\\\\t_{1,2}=\frac{12.25\pm 18.87}{4}\\\\t_1=7.78s\\\\t_2=-1.65s

You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.

The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.

two cars start at the same point and drive in a straight line for 5km. At the end of the drive their distances are the same but
Anna11 [10]

A 'displacement' always consists of a magnitude and a direction.  The two cars you just described have displacements with the same magnitude ... 5 km.  But if they didn't both drive in the same direction, then their displacements are different.

Remember:

-- 10 m/s² up and 10 m/s² down are different accelerations

-- 30 mph East and 30 mph West are the same speed but different velocity.

-- 5 km North and 5 km South are the same distance but different displacement.

I am pushing in a large box with 200 N of force. Clint is pushing on the box with 200 N of force in the opposite direction. Why
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Balanced forces

Explanation:

Balanced forces are where two forces of equal size act on an object in opposite directions. It means that in each direction, any pushes and pulls are balanced by another force in the opposite direction.

A tourist being chased by an angry bear is running in a straight line toward his car at a speed of 3.9 m/s. The car is a distanc
sammy [17]
If it takes t seconds to reach the car, then the distance d is 3.9t.

The bear's distance from the tourist's starting point is
6t-23

For maximum d, we set the equations equal to each other:
3.9t=6t-23
\Rightarrow -2.1t=-23
\Rightarrow t=\frac{23}{2.1}
so the distance is
d=3.9(\frac{23}{2.1})\approx42.741\ m

Why would it be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases ?
Dimas [21]

It be desirable to use an energy resource that does not produce greenhouse gases because it contribute to climate change .

Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

Greenhouse gases are the toxic gases that contribute to the "greenhouse effect". Greenhouse gases have the ability to absorb and emit some of the outgoing energy that is radiated by the Earth's surface, eventually causing the heat to get accumulated in the "lower atmosphere". It is always beneficial to use Renewable Energy sources such as Wind, solar and water which gives no harm to the environment and climate with no greenhouse gas emissions.  

<u>For example:</u> If we have to generate electricity, there will be no greenhouse gas production at the beginning and a very less amount of production at the entire life cycle.
