Answer:

x = 93.8 m.

Explanation:

During the entire the reaction time interval, the vehicle continues moving at the same speed that it was moving, i.e., 60 mi/hr.

In order to calculate the distance in meters, travelled at that speed, it is advisable first to convert the 60 mi/hr to m/seg, as follows:

60 mi/hr = 60*\frac{1hr}{3,600s}*\frac{1,605m}{1mi} = 26.8 m/s

Applying the definition of average velocity, we can solve for Δx, as follows:

Δx = 26.8 m/s* 3.5 s = 93.8 m

Explain what a margin of safety is in driving as well as how it can help minimize risk.
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

A safety margin is the space left between your vehicle and the next to provide room, time and visibility at every instant

Explanation:

A safety margin is defined as an allowance given between your vehicle and the next vehicle in front to provide enough room, visibility and time to move in a safe manner to prevent the occurrence of an accident at anytime the frontal vehicle suddenly stops or slows down

Safety margins help minimize risks in the following way

1) A common knowledge of safety margins, improves predictability among road users, thereby minimizing the risk traffic accidents caused due to late communication

2) The use of safety margins helps minimize the risk due to a change in driving conditions such as when the road becomes more slippery from being covered with fluid that is being wetted

3) Safety margin can help prevent the occurrence of an accident between vehicles due to failure of a car system, such as a punctured tire or failed breaking system

4) Safety margin helps to protect road users from the introduction of obstacles on the main roads such as ongoing road construction, broken down vehicles, road blockage by vehicles involved in an accident etc

5) Safety margin help protect road users from being involved in an accident due to the loss of driving focus of the driver of the frontal vehicle

A coal fired power plant geneartes 2.4 lbs. of CO2 per kWh. A lighting system consumes 300,000kWh per year. A corporation is con
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year by lighting sstem is $8164.67.

Explanation:

The CO2 requirement for the plant is:

Amount of CO2 per year = (2.4 lb / KWh)(300,000 KWh)

Amount of CO2 per year = (720000 lb)(1 ton/ 2204.62 lb)

Amount of CO2 per year = 326.59 ton

The perceived economic impact of CO2 generated per year will then be:

Economic Impact = ($25 / ton)(326.59 ton)

<u>Economic Impact = $8164.67</u>
