You are traveling on an interstate highway at the posted speed limit of 70 mph when you see that the traffic in front of you has

stopped due to an accident up ahead. You step on your brakes to slow down as quickly as possible. Assume that you to slow down to 30 mph in about 5 seconds. A) With this same average acceleration, how much longer would it take you to stop?
B) What total distance would you travel from when you first apply the brakes until the car stops?

Answer:8.75 s,

136.89 m

Explanation:

Given

Initial velocity=70 mph\approx 31.29 m/s

velocity after 5 s is 30 mph\approx 13.41 m/s

Therefore acceleration during these 5 s

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{13.41-31.29}{5}=-3.576 m/s^2

therefore time required to stop

v=u+at

here v=final velocity =0 m/s

initial velocity =31.29 m/s

0=31.29-3.576\times t

t=\frac{31.29}{3.576}=8.75 s

(b)total distance traveled before stoppage

v^2-u^2=2as

0^2-31.29^2=2\times (-3.576)\cdot s

s=136.89 m

Two charges +q and -q are situated at certain distance, at the point exactly midway betwee them what happens on electric field a
Luden [163]

Answer: Electric field is not zero but potential is zero

Explanation:

In science, charge, also recognized as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and expressed q, is a component of a unit of body that reveals the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.

Considering the direction of the electric field is of positive to negative charge. Therefore, it determination be toward due −q also due to both the charges.

But for potential, it is a scalar quantity, so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Henceforth, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

a incorect

From the above statements, we could conclude that option (c) Electric field is not zero, but potential is zero is the correct answer. So, the option (a) Electric field and potential both are zero is an incorrect solution.

b incorect

Among all the options, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Therefore, the option (b) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero is an incorrect solution

d) is incorrect

It has been explained that the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Hence, the option (d) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is an incorrect solution.

32. Which type of electromagnetic wave is used for nuclear power and medical treatment?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Answers at the bottom!!

Explanation:

For the first answer: Gamma ray

Gamma rays and x-rays consist of high-energy waves that can travel great distances at the speed of light and generally have a great ability to penetrate other materials. For that reason, gamma rays (such as from cobalt-60) are often used in medical applications to treat cancer and sterilize medical instruments.

For the second answer: They both have technological uses.

In my opinion I'm pretty sure it's A because we do use microwaves and x-rays as technological uses.

Hope this helps!!

1. Why does Earth's moon have no atmosphere
atroni [7]
1. Earth's moon has no atmosphere because the moon's gravity is too weak to hold onto gas molecules.
2. On the moon, maria are low flat plains. The word maria comes from the Latin word mare, which means sea.

An office heater puts out 2050 btus of energy in the form of heat per hour. given that 1 btus =1.055 kj, how many megajoules of
ivolga24 [154]
<span>Assuming continuous operation (24/7), we can say that

Energy produced : Energy per hour * 24 (number of hours in a day) - 365 (number of days in a year.

Energy per hour: 2050 * 1.055 = 2162.75 kg.

So, we proceed to calculate the results

E: 2162.75 * 24 * 365 = 18,945,690 kj per year.

Now, we transform kj to megajoule, remembering that kilo is 10*3 and mega is 1'*6, so we divide the result by 1,000 in order to get the results in megajoules, and the answer would be:

18,945.69 megajoules can be produced per year.</span>
