"when you double the vehicle's weight, you will __________ the vehicle's stopping distance. "

Physics
1 answer:
Stolb23 [73]3 years ago
5 0

With same braking power you will be stopping faster on the original weight therefore the answer to fill the blank is increase. The stopping distance will increase as there'll be higher energy to dissipate than lighter cars applied with the braking force similar with that of the lighter car. Also the skid and drag will add to the distance as well as the inertia of the moving heavier vehicle would be greater as well.

A beam of unpolarized light shines on a stack of five ideal polarizers, set up so that the angles between the polarization axes
ddd [48]

Answer:

21.75

Explanation:

n = number of polarizers through which light pass through = 5

\theta = Angle between each pair of adjacent polarizers

I_{o} = Intensity of unpolarized light

I_{n} = Intensity of transmitted beam after passing all polarizers

It is given that

\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}}= 0.277

we know that the intensity of light after passing through "n" polarizers is given as

I_{n} = (0.5) I_{o} Cos^{2n-2}\theta

\frac{I_{n}}{I_{o}} = (0.5) Cos^{2n-2}\theta

inserting the values

0.277 = (0.5)Cos^{2(5)-2}\theta

0.554 = Cos^{8}\theta

Cos\theta = 0.9288

\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.9288)

\theta = 21.75

What is the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of earth
vaieri [72.5K]
This is simply referring to the fact that the gravitational pull of the earth is greater as you get closer to the surface of the earth, meaning that acceleration increases as well.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

1.ima say car 2 is safer than car 1.

2.airbags: airbags make it safer because if you get in a reck they will protect you againsed more harm then if you didnt have airbags.

breaking distance: it takes less distance to stop so if there was a reck up the streat you could stop and turn around so you wouldnt get into that wreck.

accrleration: it can make you go faster so incase someoe behind you is speading you could speadup and turn into a parking lot and you wouldent get hurt.

3. car 2 is safer because it has breaking distance and it can stop you way before you get into a wreck than car 1 that doesnt have that ability

Explanation: ima award myself brainliest. Dont ask why i just answerd my own question on here. Yay
