Alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times. In a controlled government test, it takes a certain driver t1=0.39 s to hit t

he brakes in a crisis when unimpaired and t2=0.87 s when drunk. If the car is initially traveling at v=95 km/h, how much farther does the car travel before the brakes are applied when the person is drunk than it travels when the person is sober?

Answer:

Extra distance traveled is 12.6 m

Explanation:

Initial constant speed of the car is given as

v = 95 km/h

so it is given as

v = 95 \times \frac{1000 m}{3600 s}= 26.4 m/s

now we know that the reaction time is 0.39 s when driver is unimpaired

so distance covered is given as

d_1 = 26.4 \times 0.39 = 10.3 m

when driver is drunk then reaction time is 0.87 so the distance covered is given as

d_2 = 26.4 \times 0.87 = 23 m

so the extra distance traveled by the person when he is drunk is given as

d = d_2 - d_1

d = 23 - 10.3

d = 12.6 m

We have equation of motion S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2, here S = displacement, u = initial velocity, t is the time taken and a is the acceleration.

Time taken is the difference in time in the response times = 0.87 - 0.39 = 0.48 seconds

Initial velocity = 95 km/hour = 95*5/18 = 25 m/s

Acceleration = 0 m/s^2

Substituting S = 25*0.48+\frac{1}{2} *0*0.48^2 = 12 m

So the car travel 12 m before the brakes are applied when the person is drunk than it travels when the person is sober.

Let the four horizontal compass directions north, east, south, and west be represented by units vectors n^, e^, s^, and w^, resp
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

c = e > b = d > a

Explanation:

Given vectors are all unit vectors, therefore they have a magnitude of 1

<h3>Let a, b be two vectors and magnitude of cross product of these two vectors is (magnitude of a) × (magnitude of b) × (sine of angle between these two vectors)</h3>

As all are unit vectors their magnitude is 1 and therefore in this case the cross product between any two vectors depends on the sine of angle between those two vectors

In option a as both the vectors are same, the angle between them will be zero and sin0° will also be 0

In option b angle between those two vectors is 135° and sin135° is 1 ÷ √2

In option c angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

In option d angle between those two vectors is 45° and sin45° is 1 ÷ √2

In option e angle between those two vectors is 90° and sin90° is 1

So by comparison of magnitudes of cross products in each option, the order will be  c = e > b = d > a

How do the charges compare when two objects are charged through friction?
spayn [35]

Answer:

The objects become oppositely charged and have equal amounts of charge.

Explanation:

There are three methods for charging objects:

- Conduction: a charged object is brought in contact with a neutral object. Electrons are transferred from the charged object to the neutral one, which also becomes charged

- Induction: a charged object is brought close (but not in contact) to a neutral object. The charges inside the neutral object redistribute, such that those of opposite sign to the charge in the charged object migrate on the side closer to the charged object, while the charges of same sign migrate towards the opposite side. If the neutral object is then grounded, the charges on the opposite side flow to the ground, leaving the neutral object charged as well

- Friction: two objects initially neutral are rubbed against each other. Electrons move from one object to the other one: therefore, one object becomes positively charged while the other one becomes negatively charged. Since the charge gained by one object is equal to charge lost by the other object, it follows that the two objects have same magnitude of charge, but with opposite sign.

Which situation is most likely to lead to improving a scientific theory?
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. Repeating an experiment to verify results

Explanation:

A scientific theory may be defined as the theory of science that is a thought out explanation of the observations done in the nature or that happens in the natural world. They are constructed using several scientific methods by observing many facts and hypothesis.

According to the question, repeating of an experiment a number of times and verifying its result may help in improving a scientific theory as if we get the similar result for each experiments, then it confirms the basis of the hypothesis or the facts that are observe in the nature and conclude a scientific theory.
