You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you.Your reaction time

before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s ,and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s^2 what is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer

Consider the motion of the car before brakes are applied:

v₀ = maximum initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

t = reaction time = 0.50 s

x₀ = distance traveled by the car before brakes are applied

since car moves at constant speed before brakes are applied

Using the equation

x₀ = v₀ t

x₀ = v₀  (0.50)


Consider the motion after brakes are applied :

v₀ = initial velocity of the car before the brakes are applied

a = acceleration = - 10 m/s²

v = final velocity of the car after it comes to stop = 0 m/s

x = stopping distance = initial distance - distance traveled before applying the brakes = 38 - x₀ = 38 - v₀  (0.50)

Using the equation

v² = v²₀ + 2 a x

inserting the values

0² = v²₀ + 2 (- 10) (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v²₀ = 20 (38 - v₀  (0.50))

v₀ = 23 m/s

8. List three temperature scales. Then write the boiling and freezing
Tomtit [17]

Explanation:

For most temperature scales, the boiling point of water and the freezing point is used to calibrate it.

Three known temperature scales;

  • Kelvin scale
  • Celcius scale
  • Fahrenheit scale

                               Kelvin scale              Celcius scale          Fahrenheit scale

Freezing point             273K                            0°C                        32°F

Melting point                373K                          100°C                     212°F

The largest watermelon ever grown had a mass of 118 kg. Suppose this watermelon were exhibited on a platform 5.00 m above the gr
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer: height = 3.98m

Explanation: by placing the watermelon at a height above the ground, it has a potential energy of the formulae

p = mgh

p = potential energy = 4.61kJ = 4610J

m = mass of watermelon = 118 kg

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

4610 = 118 * 9.8 * h

h = 4610/ 118 * 9.8

h = 4610/ 1156.4

h = 3.98m

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!
Igoryamba

While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.

Hope that helps!

Given a wire with a cross section of .45cm^2, a length of 3cm, and an internal resistance of 3 ohms, show your 5 steps to solve
Gre4nikov [31]
Resistance ∞ (proportional) length 
resistance ∞ 1/ area

therefore, 
(the constant that we take is known as the resistivity)

resistance =  (resistivity*length )/ area
 resistivity = (resistance * area ) / length
                  = (3 * 45) / 3 =    135/3 = 45 Ωm

in short your answer is 45 Ωm
