Tests reveal that a normal driver takes about 0.75 s before he orshecan react to a situation to avoid a collision. It takes abou

Answer:

The shortest stopping distance for the normal driver is 517 ft

The shortest stopping distance for the alcoholic driver is 616 ft.

Explanation:

The data, we have is:

Vi = Initial Speed = 44 ft/s

Vf = Final Speed = 0 ft/s (Since, the car finally stops)

a = deceleration = - 2 ft/s²

t = time taken to stop after applying brakes = ?

First, we calculate the time taken by the car to stop after applying the brakes:

Using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at

t = (Vf - Vi)/a

t = (0 ft/s - 44 ft/s)/(-2 ft/s²)

t = 22 sec

Now, the stopping distance after applying brakes (S1) is given by 2nd equation of motion:

S1 = Vi t + (1/2)at²

S1 = (44 ft/s)(22 s) + (1/2)(-2 ft/s²)(22 s)²

S1 = 484 ft

<u>FOR NORMAL DRIVER</u>:

Since, the driver takes 0.75 s to respond to a situation, so the distance traveled in this time (S2) is given by:

S2 = Vt

S2 = (44 ft/s)(0.75 s)

S2 = 33 ft

Thus, the total stopping distance for a normal driver is:

S = S1 + S2

S = 484 ft + 33 ft

<u>S = 517 ft</u>

<u>FOR ALCOHOLIC DRIVER</u>:

Since, the driver takes 0.75 s to respond to a situation, so the distance traveled in this time (S2) is given by:

S2 = Vt

S2 = (44 ft/s)(3 s)

S2 = 132 ft

Thus, the total stopping distance for a normal driver is:

S = S1 + S2

S = 484 ft + 132 ft

<u>S = 616 ft</u>

Which of the following is described as a way engineers can test and investigate how things should be under certain circumstances
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The option that is best described as a way engineers can test and investigate how things should be under certain circumstances is;

  • Modeling

Explanation:

Modeling is a tool an engineer can use for the physical representation of a system that will facilitate the definition, testing and analysis, communication, data generation, data verification and data validation of given concepts

Models also aid in setting specifications, supporting designs, and verification of a given system

Therefore, with modeling engineers can investigate the behavior of systems under given environmental conditions.

Determine the initial void ratio, the relative density and the unit weight (in pounds per cubic foot) of the specimens for each
Elina [12.6K]

The initial void ratio is the <em>parameter </em>which is used to show the structural foundations for each <em>specimen of sand </em>so that the method and speed of compression would be <em>measured</em>.

Relative density is the mass per unit volume of each specimen of sand which is <em>measured </em>and it has to do with the<em> relative ratio</em> of the density of the sand.

Unit weight is the the exact weight per cubic foot of the sand which is measured.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you better understand the concept

A hypothetical metal alloy has a grain diameter of 2.4 × 10−2 mm. After a heat treatment at 575°C for 500 min, the grain diamete
Alex

Answer:

The time required is 10.078 hours or 605 min

Explanation:

The formula to apply here is ;

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t

where t is time in hours

d is grain diameter to be achieved after heating in mm

d₀ is the grain diameter before heating in mm

Given

d=5.5 × 10^-2 mm

d₀=2.4 × 10^-2 mm

t₁= 500 min = 500/60 =25/3 hrs

t₂=?

n=2.2

First find K

K=(d²-d²₀ )/t₁

K={ (5.1 × 10^-2 mm)²-(2.4 × 10−2 mm)² }/ 25/3

K=(0.051²-0.024²) ÷25/2

K=0.000243 mm²/h

Re-arrange equation for K ,to get the equation for d as;

d=√(d₀²+ Kt)  where now t=t₂

d=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243*t} \\\\0.055=\sqrt{0.024^2+0.000243t} \\\\0.055^2=0.024^2+0.000243t\\\\0.055^2-0.024^2=0.000243t\\\\0.002449=0.000243t\\\\0.002449/0.000243=t\\\\10.078=t\\\\t=605min
