We use kinematic equations,

During reaction time,

S = ut + \frac{1}{2} at^2                        (A)

During the deceleration,

v^2= u^2 + 2as.                                   (B)

Here, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity , a is acceleration and t is time.

There is no deceleration during his 0.8 sec reaction time so a=0, from equation (A),

S = 20 \ m/s (0.8 \ s) + 0 \times t= 16 \ m

During the deceleration (a = -7.0 m/s^2) ,  final velocity will be zero i.e v = 0, therefore from equation (B),

0 = (20 m/s)^2 +2 (-7.0 m/s^2) \ s \\\\ s =  \frac{-400}{-14} = 28. 57 m

Thus, the distance traveled by car after he sees need to put brakes is

S + s = 16 \ m + 28.57 \ m =44 .57 \ m

A car speeds over a hill past point A, as shown in the figure. What is the maximum speed the car can have at point A such that i
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

11.8 m/s

Explanation:

At the top of the hill, there are two forces on the car: weight force pulling down (towards the center of the circle), and normal force pushing up (away from the center of the circle).

Sum of forces in the centripetal direction:

∑F = ma

mg − N = m v²/r

At the maximum speed, the normal force is 0.

mg = m v²/r

g = v²/r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 14.2 m)

v = 11.8 m/s

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
Temka [501]

Q= mcΔT

Where Q is heat or energy

M is mass, c is heat capacitance and t is temperature

You have to convert Celsius into kelvin in order to use this formula I believe

Celsius + 273 = Kelvin

21 + 273 = 294K

363 + 273 = 636K

Now...

Q= (0.003)(0.129)(636-294)

Q= 0.132 J if you are using kilograms, in terms of grams which seems more appropriate the answer would be 132J of energy.
