Answer:

111.5 m

Explanation:

Given that You are driving to the grocery store at 14 m/s. You are 115 m from an intersection when the traffic light turns red. Assume that your reaction time is 0.50 s and that your car brakes with constant acceleration. 

Use first equation of motion

V = U - at

Since the car is going to rest, V = 0 and a = negative

0 = 14 - a × 0.5

0.5a = 14

a = 14 /0.5

a = 28 m/s^2

Let us use second equation of motion

S = Ut - 1/2at^2

S = 14 × 0.5 - 0.5 × 28 × 0.5^2

S = 7 - 3.5

S = 3.5 m

115 - 3.5 = 111.5

Therefore, you are 111.5 metres from the intersection (in m) when you begin to apply the brakes.

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K
