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

The law of conservation of mass states that mass can never be created or destroyed, only changed. true or faulse
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The law of conservation of mass states that in a chemical reaction mass is neither created nor destroyed. For example, the carbon atom in coal becomes carbon dioxide when it is burned. The carbon atom changes from a solid structure to a gas but its mass does not change.

An airplane flies 120 km at a constant altitude in a direction 30.0° north of east. a wind is blowing that results in a net hori
astraxan [27]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>The net angle between the direction of flight of the aircraft and the wind in the opposing direction is 20. THe component opposing the aircraft is 2.4*cos 20 KN 
= 2400 * 0.9397 = 2255.2622 N. The distance covered is 120 Km 
The work done by the aircraft overcoming the wind is 
= 2255.2622 * 120000 = 270631464 = 2.71 x 10^8 N 
As the question is trickily worded as : the work done on the plane by the air (wind) the answer is -2.71 x 10^8 J . (fourth option)</span>

Am i correct? If not then which one
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Yes, it's correct

Explanation:

Newton's second Law states that the acceleration of an object is proportional to the net force applied on it, according to the equation:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

a is the acceleration of the object

We can re-arrange the previous equation in order to solve explicitely for a, the acceleration, and we find:

F=ma\\\frac{F}{m}=\frac{ma}{m}\\\frac{F}{m}=a\\a=\frac{F}{m}

So, we see that the acceleration is proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
