You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 38 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

e before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s2 .A. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
B. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

Answer:

given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

final speed of car = 0 m/s

distance between car and the deer = 38 m

reaction time, t = 0.5 s

deceleration of the car = 10 m/s².

a) distance between deer and car

  distance travel in the reaction time

   d₁ = v x t

   d₁ = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

   v² = u² + 2 a s

   0 = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

    s =  20 m

total distance traveled by the car

D = d₁ + d₂

D = 20 + 10 = 30 m

  distance between car and the deer = 38 m - 30 m

                                                              = 8 m

b) now, maximum speed car.

   distance travel in reaction time

    d₁ = s x t

    d₁ = 0.5 V

distance left between them

   d₂ = 38 - d₁

   d₂ = 38 - 0.5 V

   distance travel after you apply brake

   using equation of motion

    v² = u² + 2 a d₂

    0 = (V)² - 2 x 10 x (38 - 0.5 V)

     V² + 10 V - 760 = 0

now, solving the quadratic equation

  x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

  V = \dfrac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4(1)(-760)}}{2(1)}

         V = 23.01 , -33.01

rejecting the negative term.

hence, maximum speed of the car could be V = 23.01 m/s

According to the kinetic theory, collisions between molecules in a gas _____.a.are inelasticb.never occurc. cause a loss of tota
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

d. perfectly elastic

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory for collisions of gas molecules:

1.The loss of energy is negligible or we can say that it is zero.

2.Molecules of the gas move in a random manner.

3.The collision between molecules and with the wall of the container is perfectly elastic.That is why loss in the energy is zero.

Therefore the correct answer will be d.

d. perfectly elastic

Someone please help me, I know I already asked a question please don't think I not smart, but
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

PE is related to the ability to do work, If an item is sitting on  a shelf

it has potential energy relative to its position on the floor, However, if the object were to fall it would hit the floor with a KE equal to the PE that it had sitting on the shelf.

Sounds are caused by compressional waves in  the air - when a piano key is struck or a TV is turned on, then compressional waves are produced in the surrounding air due to a disturbance. The human ear recognizes the disturbed air as due to the object that created the disturbance.
