Steep safety ramps are built beside mountain highways to enable vehicles with defective brakes to stop safely. A truck enters a

ramp at a high speed v0 and travels 690 ft in 8.5 s at constant deceleration before its speed is reduced to v0/2. Assume the same constant deceleration.a) Determine the additional time required for the truck to stop. The additional time required for the truck to stop is ______s b) the additional distance traveled by the truck is ______ft

Answer:

a) The additional time required for the truck to stop is <u>8.5 seconds</u>

b) The additional distance traveled by the truck is <u>230.05 ft</u>

Explanation:

Since the acceleration is constant, the average speed is:

(final speed - initial speed) / 2 = 0.75 v0

Since travelling at this speed for 8.5 seconds causes the vehicle to travel 690 ft, we can solve for v0:

0.75v0 * 8.5 = 690

v0 = 108.24 ft/s

The speed after 8.5 seconds is: 108.24 / 2 = 54.12 ft/s

We can now use the following equation to solve for acceleration:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

54.12^2 - 108.24^2 = 2*a*690

a = -6.367 m/s^2

Additional time taken to decelerate: 54.12/6.367 = 8.5 seconds

Total distance traveled:

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

0 - 108.24^2 = 2 * (-6.367) * s

solving for s we get total distance traveled = 920.05 ft

Additional Distance Traveled: 920.05 - 690 = 230.05 ft

Orlov [11]

Answer: You need to lift a load of 15 tons (30,000 pounds) a distance of 25 feet. The distance is measured from the center pin of the crane to the center of the load. Once you determine the distance, look on that line for the largest capacity; that will indicate how many feet of boom must be extended

If 100 J of heat is added to a system so that the final temperature of the system is 400 K, what is the change in entropy of the
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

0.25 J/K

Explanation:

Given data in given question

heat (Q) = 100 J

temperature (T) = 400 K

to find out

the change in entropy of the given system

Solution

we use the entropy change equation here i.e  

ΔS = ΔQ / T           ...................a

Now we put the value of heat (Q) and Temperature (T) in equation a

ΔS is the entropy change, Q is heat and T is the temperature,  

so that

ΔS = 100/400 J/K

ΔS = 0.25 J/K
