A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

me of t s, the ranger applies the brakes to produce an acceleration of â3.0 m/s². What is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer?

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

If an all electric house uses 2400 kWh in a month, what will the amount of the bill for electricity be at a rate of 9.5 cents pe
alexira [117]

Answer:

<h2>$228</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

Total electricity consumption = 2400 kWh

Rate of consumption = 9.5 cent per kWh

converting cent to dollar we have. 9.5/100= $0.095

hence the bill is 2400*0.095= $228

Three boxes in contact rest side-by-side on a smooth, horizontal floor. Their masses are 5.0-kg, 3.0-kg, and 2.0-kg, with the 3.
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

(a)Look at the attached graphic

(b)

(b)-1 Equation 1  : m1= 5kg

       50-F1= 5 *a

(b)-2 Equation 2 : m2= 3kg

        F1-F2= 3 *a

(b)-3 Equation 3 : m3= 2kg

         F2 = 2*a  

(c) F1 =25 N

(d) F2 =10 N

Explanation:

We apply Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a (Formula 1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass in kilograms (kg)

a : acceleration in meters over second square (m/s²)

(a) Draw the free-body diagrams for each of the boxes

Look at the attached graphic

(b) Write Newton’s equation for each mass along the horizontal direction.

Data: m1=  5.0-kg ,m2= 3.0-kg , ,m3= 2.0-kg

<em>Look</em> <em>m1 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m1*a

50-F1= 5 *a Equation 1

<em>Look</em> <em>m2 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m2*a

F1-F2= 3 *a Equation 2

<em>Look</em> <em>m3 free-body diagram:</em>

∑Fx = m3*a

F2 = 2*a     Equation 3

(c) What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 5.0- kg box?

<em>Look</em> <em>Free body diagram of the mass set</em>

∑Fx = m*a   m= m1+m2+m3= 5+3+2 = 10 kg

50 = 10*a

a= 50/10 = 5 m/s²

We replace a = 5 m/s² in the equation 1:

50-F1= 5 *5

50-25= F1

F1 = 25 N

<em> (d) </em><em>What magnitude force does the 3.0-kg box exert on the 2.0kg box?</em>

We replace a= 5 m/s² in the equation 3

F2 = 2*5 = 10 N
