A car is driving 25.5 m/s when it hits

Answer:

it takes the car 4.362 seconds to cover the distance of 88.4 m.

Explanation:

The distance the car covers is given by the function

x(t) = vt-\dfrac{1}{2}at^2,

where v = 25.5m/s , and a = 2.40m/s, putting  these in we get:

x(t) = 25.5t-\dfrac{1}{2}(2.4)t^2\\\\x(t) = 25.5t-1.2t^2

Now, when the car has moved to 88.4m, x(t) = 88.4 , or

x(t) = 25.5t-1.2t^2 = 88.4

which is a quadratic equation with solutions

t = 4.362s,\\t = 16.887s

We take the first solution t = 4.362s, <em>since at that time the car is still moving right and decelerating</em>. The second solution t =16.887 describes the situation where the car has stopped decelerating and is now moving leftwards because the decelerating is leftwards, <em>which is utterly wrong because we know that cars do not start moving backwards after the brakes have stopped them! </em>

Thus, it takes the car 4.362 seconds to cover the distance of 88.4 m.

________ occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
Semenov [28]
The answer would be:
Precipitation sometimes occurs when the horizontal winds move air against mountain ranges, forcing air to rise as it passes over the mountains.
This happens when the air is forced to move from low elevation to high elevation due to rising terrain. This causes the air to cool adiabatically. This increases the relative humidity and causes clouds to form, under certain conditions it can also create precipitation.

<h3>Porque deja de funcionar una estufa electrica cuando la electricidad es excesiva?</h3>

  • Es normal que los quemadores superiores de una estufa eléctrica o una estufa se enciendan y apaguen en configuraciones distintas a Hi. El quemador se encenderá y apagará más de lo normal cuando se utilizan cacerolas que no son planas o que son del tamaño incorrecto para el quemador.

Summerize how friction and inertia act on an object sliding on a flat surface
natta225 [31]
Inertia is when a object in motion will stay in motion or in a standing still state unless acted upon by a unbalancing force.
Friction is when a object slows down because it is rubbing against another object.

If a object is sliding across a surface, theoretically, it would not stop but because it is on a flat surface it would experience friction, this will disperse some of the kinetic energy that it has thus slowing the object down eventually, after some time, to a stop.

Hope this helps! :)
