A driver traveling 50 mph rounds a bend and sees a car stopped 40 yards (36.576 m) ahead. Assumethe following: the road is flat

and straight, average human reaction time is 0.2 seconds, and theaverage braking acceleration of a US car is 6 m/s​2​. [1 mile=1609.344 meters ]a.Is there a collision?b.If not, how close do they come? If so, at what speed?

Answer:

a)there is collision

b)V=7.79m/s

Explanation:

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated movement", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

Vf=Vo+a.t                                     (1)

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X                (2)

X=Xo+ VoT+0.5at^{2}                   (3)

X=(Vf+Vo)T/2                                 (4)

Where

Vf = final speed

Vo = Initial speed

T = time

A = acceleration

X = displacement

In conclusion to solve any problem related to a body that moves with constant acceleration we use the 3 above equations and use algebra to solve

To solve this problem, we use equation number 2 to calculate the distance traveled after the end of a movement with constant speed with a time of 0.2s, if it is less than 36.576m there is no collision.

Xt=X1+X2 (5)

X1= distance traveled with constant speed

X1=distance traveled with constant acceleration

for X1

X1=Vt

where

V=50mph=22.35m/s

t=0.2

X1=0.2x22.35m/s

X1=4.47m

for X2 using ecuation number 2

Vo=22.35m/s

Vf=0m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X    

{0^{2}-22.35^2}/{(2).(6)} =X    

x2=41.626m

Xt=x1+x2

Xt=41.626+4.47=49m

as the distance traveled is 49m the cars crash

b) to calculate the final speed we use the ecuation number tow(2)

X=36.576m

Vo=22.35m/s

a=-6m/s^2

{Vf^{2}-Vo^2}/{2.a} =X  

solving for vf

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2ax+Vo^{2} }

Vf=\sqrt[2]{2(-6)(36.576)+22.352^{2} }=7.79m/s

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats on water, but its index of refraction is 1.47, higher than that of water. When
kupik [55]

Answer:

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

Explanation:

Canola oil is less dense than water, so it floats over water.

Given n_{canola}= 1.47

which is higher than that of water

refractive index of water n_{water}=1.33

to calculate critical angle of light going from the oil into water

we know that

sinc= \frac{n_{water}}{n_{canola}}

now putting values we get

sinc= \frac{1.33}{1.47}

c= sin^{-1}(\frac{1.33}{1.47} )

c=69.79°

therefore critical angle c= 69.79°

What happens when someone is walking across the carpeted room then touches a metal door knob
igomit [66]
Static electricity travels to the door knob because of the friction caused by the feet on the carpet. the friction traveled through the person, to their hand, and to the door knob because it is the best conductor.
