-- A scalar quantity is one that has a size but no direction.

Like speed, mass, distance, temperature, and cost.


-- A vector quantity is one that has size AND a direction.

Like force, velocity, displacement, and acceleration.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 52 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 87 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Time, t = 0.23 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the ranger, u = 52 km/h = 14.44 m/s

Final speed of the ranger, v = 0 (as brakes are applied)

Acceleration of the ranger, a=-4\ m/s^2

Distance between deer and the vehicle, d = 87 m

Let d' is the distance covered by the deer so that it comes top rest. So,

d'=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

d'=\dfrac{-(14.44)^2}{2\times -4}

d' = 26.06 m

Distance between the point where the deer stops and the vehicle is :

D=d-d'

D=87 - 26.06 = 60.94 m

Let t is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer. It can be calculated as :

t=\dfrac{v}{D}

t=\dfrac{14.44}{60.94}

t = 0.23 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

How much power does it take to lift 30.0 N 10.0 m high in 5.00 s?
Rudik [331]

Power = work/time = (Force times distance)/time

= (30N *10.0m)/5.00s = 300/5 = 60 Watts
