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.

slamgirl [31]

Answer:

1.) Micrometres screw gauge

2.) Tape rule.

Explanation:

Given that the diameter and the length of a thin wire, approximately 1m in length, are measured as accurately as possible.

what are the best instruments to use ?

To measure the diameter of a thin wire, the best instrument to use is known as micrometres screw gauge.

And to measure the length of a thin wire up to 1 m, the measuring device can be tape rule or long metre rule.

In practice, if a voltmeter was connected across any combination of the terminals, the potential difference would be less than w
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effecti
kaheart [24]
You want to draw a free body diagram of the forces on the sled in the horizontal x-direction.

If you visualize the system in an x-y coordinate plane, the force along the x-direction is the angle it makes with the x-axis multiples by the force.

The angle made with the x-axis is cosine of the angle theta.

Please see picture attached.
