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

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:  Atoms are electrically neutral because they have equal numbers of protons (positively charged) and electrons (negatively charged). If an atom gains or loses one or more electrons, it becomes an ion.

You roll a toy car, and it moves 10 meters in five seconds. What is the car's velocity?
maks197457 [2]
  • Displacement = 10 m
  • Time = 5 s
  • We know,
  • velocity \:  \:  =  \frac{displacement}{time}  \\
  • Therefore, the car's velocity
  • =  \frac{10}{5} m/s \\  = 2m/s
<h3>Answer:</h3>

The car's velocity is 2 m/s.

Hope you could get an idea from here.

What factors does not influence the rate of chemical weathering?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Exposure to the Atmosphere

Composition of Rock

Surface area of the rock

Climate

Time

Explanation:

Exposure to the Atmosphere - how much of the rock mass is exposed to the environment affects how quickly the rock will be weathered by that very environment

Composition of Rock - what kind of minerals the rock is made of, how easy it is for those minerals to disintegrate and how quickly the react with water and air.

Surface area of the rock - a rick that has a wider surface or smaller pieces is more exposed than one that is a lump. A larger surface area increases the rate of weathering

Climate - if a rock is an area where there are high temperatures or very low temperatures, the rate of weathering is likely to increase. A similar point can be made about a region that experiences a lot of rain.

Time - the longer the rock is exposed to harsh conditions, the more it will experience weathering

Differences between fundamental and derived quantities​
monitta

Answer:

Fundamental quantities are quantities that were created to measure a object/substance which are the basis on which derived quantities are formed, where as derived quantities are created by extracting variables from the fundamental quantities.
