To stop a car, first you require a certain reaction time to begin braking; then the car slows under the constant braking deceler

ation. Suppose that the total distance moved by your car during these two phases is 56.9 m when its initial speed is 80.0 km/h, and 25.7 m when its initial speed is 50.7 km/h. What are (a) your reaction time and (b) the magnitude of the deceleration?

Answer:

a) t_r = 0.55 s

b) a = 5.59 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

total distance traveled by the car to stop is 56.9 m when speed of vehicle is 80 km/h or 80 × 0.278 = 22.24 m/s

total distance traveled by the car to stop is 25.7 m when speed of vehicle is 50.7 km/h or 50.7 × 0.278 = 14.09 m/s

using stopping distance formula

s_1 = v_1 t_r +\dfrac{v_1^2}{2 a}................(1)

s_2 = v_2 t_r +\dfrac{v_2^2}{2 a}..............(2)

on solving both the equation we get

a = \dfarc{v_1v_2(v_1-v_2)}{2(s_1v_2-s_2v_1)}

a = \dfarc{22.4\times 14.09(22.24-14.09)}{2(56.9\times 14.09-25.7\times 22.24)}

a = 5.59 m/s²

now reaction time calculation

t_r =\dfrac{v_1^2d_2-v_2^2d_1}{v_1v_2(v_1-v_2)}

t_r =\dfrac{22.24^2\times 25.7-14.09^2\times 56.9}{22.4\times 14.09(22.24-14.09)}

t_r = 0.55 s

A red light means to stop. If you are turning from a two-way road or onto a two-way road, then you are NOT allowed to turn
lyudmila [28]

A red light means to stop. If you are turning from a two-way road or onto a two-way road, then you are NOT allowed to reverse your car If you can't do it

Red is typically used to indicate danger or warning, and on traffic lights, it indicates a potential hazard ahead and, as a result, serves as a signal for drivers to stop. If the traffic light turns red while you are already at a junction, you must move swiftly to the opposite side to avoid a potential accident with oncoming traffic.
If the traffic light has turned red as you approach the junction and you are just entering it, you must stop. Unless there is a sign clearly telling you not to turn left at the red light, you may do so. Give way to people and cars coming from other directions when turning.

An insulated rigid tank initially contains 1.4-kg saturated liquid water and water vapor at 200°C. At this state, 25 percent of
Elan Coil [88]

Solution:

Mass of liquid water and water vapor in the insulated tank initially = 1.4 kg

Temperature = 200 °C

And 25% of the volume by liquid water is steam.

State 1

$m=\frac{V}{v}$

$m=m_f+m_g$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{v_f}+\frac{0.75V}{v_g}$

$1.4=\frac{0.25V}{1.1565 \times 10^{-3}}+\frac{0.75V}{0.1274}$       (taking the value of $v_g$ and $v_g$ at 200°C  )

$V=6.304 \times 10^{-3}$

Now quality of vapor

$x=\frac{m_g}{m}$

  $=3.377 \times 10^{-3}$

Internal energy at state 1 can be found out by

$u_1=u_f+xu_{fg}$

    $=850.65+3.377\times10^{-3}\times 1744.65$

    = 856.54 kJ/kg

After heating with the resistor for 20 minutes, at state 2, the tank contains saturated water vapor $v_2=v_g \text { and }\ x=1$

Tank is rigid, so volume of tank is constant.

$v_g=v_2=\frac{V}{m}$

$v_g=\frac{6.304\times 10^{-3}}{1.4}$

$v_g=4.502 \times 10^{-3} \ m^3 /kg$

Now interpolate the value to get temperature at state 2 with specific volume value to get final temperature

$T_2=360+(374.14-360)\left(\frac{0.004502-0.006945}{0.003155-0.006945}\right)$

   = 369.11° C

Internal energy at state 2

$u_2=2154.9 \ kJ/kg$

Now power rating of the resistor

$P=\frac{m(u_2-u_1)}{t}$

$P=\frac{1.4(2154.9-856.54)}{20 \times 60}$

  = 1.51 kW

Define average velocity <br>​
maxonik [38]
Hello! mark me brainliest please

The average speed of an object is defined as the distance traveled divided by the time elapsed. Velocity is a vector quantity, and average velocity can be defined as the displacement divided by the time.

Which of the following statements is true about magnetic fields.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:  

The earth's magnetic field protects the surface from strong electrical currents coming from the sun

Explanation:

The Earth's magnetic field called the “magnetosphere” – protects our atmosphere from the “solar wind.” That's the constant stream of charged particles flowing outward from the sun. When the magnetosphere shields the Earth from these solar particles, they get funneled toward the polar regions of our atmosphere.

The Earth's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind, whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that  protects  the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation. One stripping mechanism  is  for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field, which are ripped off by solar winds.
