You riding in a car traveling at a speed of 73 mi/hr in a. 60 mi/hr zone, when suddenly you spot a police car parked 20 ft ahead

of you. Do you hit the brakes and slow down with an acceleration of -2 ft/sec,for a total time of 3 seconds. Do you get a ticket?

I think yes i do.. cuz using yr information i get the distance i travelled before stopping become 49.62144 m, using the formula distance travelled/time taken= (final velocity+initial velocity)/2.
I am not sure tht its the right answer but using my calculation I got this so hope there! :)

Answer:

You get a ticket you speed is around 68 mi/hr

Explanation:

V_{f} =V_{i} + a*t

V_{i} = 73 \frac{mi}{hr} *\frac{1 hr}{3600 s} * \frac{1609,34m}{1 mi} = 32.6339 \frac{m}{s}, a=-2 \frac{ft}{s^{2} } * \frac{0.3048m}{1 ft} =-0.6096 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

V_{f} =32.6339\frac{m}{s}  -0.6096 \frac{m}{s^{2} } *3 s

V_{f} = 30.8051\frac{m}{s} *\frac{3600 s}{hr} * \frac{1 mi}{1609.34m} = 68.909 \frac{mi}{hr}

You still in trouble because  the speed is still above the allowed

Which object has more gravitational potential energy? Use PE = m × g × h, where g = 9.8 meters/second2.
Andrew [12]
Gravitational potential energy can be calculated using the formula <span>PE = m × g × h, where g is the gravitational acceleration and is constant hence the energy is dependent directly to mass and the height of the object. Hence more PE is registered when the object is heavier and/or at greater initial height. </span>

2. An airplane traveling north at 220. meters per second encounters a 50.0-meters-per-second crosswind
Alex777 [14]

The resultant speed of the plane  is (3) 226 m/s

Why?

We can calculate the resultant speed of the plane by using the Pythagorean Theorem since both speeds are perpendicular (forming a right triangle).

So, calculating we have:

ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{VerticalSpeed^{2}+HorizontalSpeed^{2}}\\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{(220\frac{m}{s})^{2}+50\frac{m}{s})^{2}

ResulntantSpeed=\sqrt{48400\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }+2500\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} } } \\\\ResultantSpeed=\sqrt{50900\frac{m^{2} }{s^{2} }}=226\frac{m}{s}

Hence, we have that the resultant speed of the plane  is (3) 226 m/s

Have a nice day!

In which of the following cases will the normal force on a box be the greatest? A. When the box is placed in a stationary elevat
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

 D. When the box is placed in an elevator accelerating upward

Explanation:

Looking at the answer choices, we know that we want to find out how the normal force varies with the motion of the box. In all cases listed in the answer choices, there are two forces acting on the box: the normal force and the force of gravity. These two act in opposite directions: the normal force, N, in the upward direction and gravity, mg, in the downward direction. Taking the upward direction to be positive, we can express the net force on the box as N - mg.

From Newton's Second Law, this is also equal to ma, where a is the acceleration of the box (again with the upward direction being positive). For answer choices (A) and (B), the net acceleration of the box is zero, so N = mg. We can see how the acceleration of the elevator (and, hence, of the box) affects the normal force. The larger the acceleration (in the positive, i.e., upward, direction), the larger the normal force is to preserve the equality: N - mg = ma, N = ma+ mg. Answer choice (D), in which the elevator is accelerating upward, results in the greatest normal force, since in that case the magnitude of the normal force is greater than gravity by the amount ma.
