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

A 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts and connected in parallel. Find the equivalent resistance of the combination.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

2Ω

Explanation:

If a 18Ω resistance is cut into three equal parts each of the resistance will be 18Ω/3 = 6Ω

Equivalent ratio in parallel is expressed as:

1/R = 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6

1/R = 3/6

Cross multiply

3R = 6

R = 6/3

R = 2Ω

Hence the required equivalent resistance is 2Ω

A car interior is heated to 48 C by the sun What type of energy transfer?
Aneli [31]

Answer:

Radiation heat energy transfer

Explanation:

The type of heat transfer from the Sun is radiation heat transfer, which is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic radiation

The distance of the Sun to the Earth is several million kilometers away, with the space between being composes of vacuum and the nuclear reaction in the Sun's core generates vast amount of electromagnetic radiation that is transferred all across the universe and reaches the Earth as visible light and radiant energy at the speed of light

The radiant energy transferred from the Sun heats up the Earth, including the car's interior.

What climate factor is responsible for the snow on my Kilimanjaro
Nimfa-mama [501]
The climate factor that is responsible for the amount of snow on Mt. Kilimanjaro is high elevation. In the concept of precipitation, as an air mass rises and cools, its capacity to hold water vapor lessens. This vapor condenses into water droplets, forming clouds. Terrain with high elevation attracts such formations, bringing with them cloudiness, rainfall, and snowfall.
