You're driving down the highway late one night at 16.0 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 39.0 m in front of you. your reaction

time before stepping on the breaks is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 12.0 m/s2 . how much distance is in between you and the deer when you come to a stop? what is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the dear?

The breaking distance consists of two parts. The first part is the first 0.5 seconds were no breaking occurs. Given values: t time, v₀ initial velocity:
x₁ = v₀*t
The second part occurs after t = 0,5s with the given acceleration: a = - 12 m/s²
were the final velocity is zero, v = 0 and the initial velocity v₀= 16m/s:
v = a*t + v₀ = 0 => v₀ = -a*t => t = v₀/-a

x₂ = 0.5*a*t² = 0.5*v°²/a

The total breaking distance is the sum of the two parts:
x = x₁ + x₂ = v₀* t + 0.5 * v₀² / a = 16 * 0.5 + 0.5 * 16² / 12 = 8 + 10,7 = 18,7

You can use this result to calculate the remaining distance. You can use the last equation to calculate the maximum speed you could have to avoid a collision.
Use x = 39m and solve for v₀.

List and explain briefly similarities and differences between the electric force between two charges and the gravitational force
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Please see below as the answers are self-explanatory.

Explanation:

  • Similarities

1) The resultant force is along the line that joins both charges or both masses (assuming both objects can be represented as points)

2) Both type of forces obey  Newton's 3rd law.

3) Both are proportional to the product of the property that is affected by the force (charges and masses)

4) Both obey an inverse - square law (consequence of our universe being three-dimensional)

  • Differences

1) Main difference, is that while the gravitational force is always attractive, the electrostatic force can be attractive or repulsive, as there are two types of charges, which attract each other being of different type, and repel each other if they are of the same type.

2) It  is possible, artificially, to block the influence of the electrostatic force, shielding a room, for instance, which is not possible for the gravitational force.

A. How does the speed of light in a vacuum change when observed from two different frames of reference?
anyanavicka [17]

a) It is absolute, so it does not change.

b) Inertial ones.

c) Inside the train the time will slow down relatively to the outside clock. So if one travel at nearly the speed if light for 2 hours on his clock, for outdoor observers it will look like 3 hours.
