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 3858 N piano is to be pushed up a(n) 3.49 m frictionless plank that makes an angle of 31.6 ◦ with the horizontal. Calculate th
uranmaximum [27]
The work done will be equal to the potential energy of the piano at the final position

P.E=m.g.h

.consider the plank the hypotenuse of the right triangle formed with the ground
.let x be the angle with the ground=31.6°
.h be the side opposite to the angle x (h is the final height of the piano)
.let L be the length of the plank

sinx=opposite side / hypotenuse
= h/L

then h=L.sinx=3.49×sin31.6°=0.638m

weight w=m.g
m=w/g=3858/10=385.8kg

Consider Gravity g=10m/s2

then P.E.=m.g.h=385.8kg×10×0.638=2461.404J

then Work W=P.E.=2451.404J

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Your question was incomplete so here is the complete question and answer.

Q. When exercising in the heat, which of the following hydration strategies is best for temperature regulation during an event (e.g., 10K race)

a) plain water

b) 5-7 percent glucose solution

c) Glucose polymer solution of 6-8 percent

d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Ans. d) There appears to be no difference among these different forms of hydration techniques relative to temperature regulation.

Explanation:

Temperature Regulation is an important phenomenon for the person exposed to extreme hot conditions or weather. Exercising in hot conditions increase the body temperature. Greater and intense exercise, greater the production of heat. Then the heat dissipation takes place in the form of excessive sweating which results in dehydration. That was just the brief overview of temperature regulation. Above mentioned techniques are equally good hydration techniques so there is no difference at all. You can have a plain water or glucose solutions of above mentioned percentages.
