Answer:

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

Speed ,u = 20 mi/h

We know that

1 mi/h= 0.44 m/s

Therefore ,u = 8.94 m/s

Distance ,s= 50 m

Lets take the acceleration of the car = a m/s²

The final speed of the car ,v = 0 m/s

We know that

v²= u² + 2 a s

Now by putting the values

0²= 8.94² + 2 x a x 50

a=-\dfrac{8.94^2}{2\times 50}\ m/s^2

a= - 0.79 m/s²

Therefore the acceleration will be - 0.79 m/s².

A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Determine the magnitude of the force that must be applied to a wooden block whose weight has a magnitude of 8N, so that it acqui
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

0.4 N

Explanation:

The weight mg is 8 N, so the mass is:

mg = 8 N

m = 8 N / g

m = 8 N / (10 m/s²)

m = 0.8 kg

The force needed to accelerate it to 0.5 m/s².

F = ma

F = (0.8 kg) (0.5 m/s²)

F = 0.4 N

How many amps are there in the current of a circuit if the voltage source is 140v and the resistance is 2 ohms?
VLD [36.1K]
Voltage (V)= Current (I) * Resistance (R)
I=V/R=140/2=70A

Hope this helps!

Which of the following is the most correct statement about a gas?
kifflom [539]
I believe that the most correct statement about gases is that gases take the shape of the container. This is because gases have an irregular shape unlike solids. Gases is among the three states of matter, they contain particles or molecules which are further apart compared to those of liquids and solids due to weak intermolecular forces of attraction between them.
