Answer:
141.78 ft
Explanation:
When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.
Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:
Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.
When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2
Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:
The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
Answer:
Explanation:
The heaviside function is defined as:
so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" when, and remains switched on when
If we want our heaviside function to switch on when , we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when
Thus we define a function f:
The term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.
Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. ( when
, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)
Therefore our final result is:
I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
