How many seconds of space should you keep between you if you're driving a 100 foot truck 30 mph?

Physics
1 answer:
Marrrta [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<em> The space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

Explanation:

S = d/t..................... Equation 1

making t the subject of formula in the equation above,

t = d/S.................... Equation 2

Where S = speed, d = distance, t = time.

<em>Conversion: (i)if 1 mph = 0.44704 m/s,</em>

<em>                 then, 30 mph = 30×0.44704    </em>

<em>                = 13.41 m/s</em>

<em>               (ii) If 1 foot = 0.3048 m</em>

<em>            then, 100 foot = 30.48 m.</em>

<em>Given: S = 30 mph = 13.41 m/s, d = 100 foot = 30.48 m</em>

<em>Substituting these values into equation 2</em>

<em>t = 30.48/13.41</em>

<em>t = 2.27 seconds.</em>

<em>Therefore the space in seconds that will be kept = 2.27 seconds</em>

Two paths lead to the top of a big hill. One is steep and direct, while the other is twice as long but less steep. How much more
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

None.

Explanation:

  • Gravitational potential energy, depends only of the mass on which the gravity is doing work, and the displacement produced by this force.
  • As displacement depends only on the final and initial positions (in this case, the height of the hill), if we choose as our zero reference level the bottom of the hill, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:

       \Delta U = U_{f} -U_{0} = m*g*h - 0  = m*g*h

  • As we can see, the only value of distance involved is the height of the hill , so it is independent of the distance travelled.

The distance between two consecutive nodesof a standing wave is 20.9cm.Thehandgen-erating the pulses moves up and down throughac
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Velocity, v = 0.239 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The distance between two consecutive nodes of a standing wave is 20.9 cm = 0.209 m

The hand generating the pulses moves up and down through a complete cycle 2.57 times every 4.47 s.

For a standing wave, the distance between two consecutive nodes is equal to half of the wavelength.

\dfrac{\lambda}{2}=0.209\ m\\\\\lambda=0.418\ m

Frequency is number of cycles per unit time.

f=\dfrac{2.57}{4.47}\\\\f=0.574\ Hz

Now we can find the velocity of the wave.

Velocity = frequency × wavelength

v = 0.574 × 0.418

v = 0.239 m/s

So, the velocity of the wave is 0.239 m/s.

Complete the following sentence: How much you pay in taxes depends on _________________________.
solong [7]

Answer:

How much you pay in taxes depends on the amount of your taxable income

Explanation:

The total amount expected to be payed as taxes is a factor of the amount of taxable income earned within the given tax period.

The taxable income is found by subtracting the amount of deductions and exemption allowed in the tax year from the gross income. It is also specified as the adjusted gross income

The set marginal  tax rate indicates the percentage of the taxable income that is to be paid as taxes, such that there are three different ranges or tax brackets and taxes are paid according to the bracket to which a taxable income belongs.
