Answer:

<h2>D. Slowly and steadily apply your breaks.</h2>

Explanation:

When a person is being tailgated by another vehicle there's a risk of accident, due to the difference of speeds. When someone is being tailgated by another vehicle, it's because they vehicle doesn't work, cannot move by itself, so one vehicle impulse another.

To avoid any accident, the vehicle that's being tailgated must apply breaks often and slowly to try to maintain the same constant distance and speed than the other vehicle. This constant distance is what avoid accidents.

Therefore, the right answer is D.

Two tougboats are toeing a ship each exerts a force of 6000N and the angle between the two ropes is 60 calculate the resultant f
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

10392.30N

Explanation:

We proceed by computing the individual force exerted by the boats

For the first boat

The angle is 30 degree to the vertical

Hence

Force = F cos θ

F=6000 cos 30

F=6000*0.866

F=5196.15 N

Since the boats are two and also at the same angle and also exerting the same force

The Net force = 2*5196.15

Net force=10392.30N

Joe is measuring the time it takes for a ball to roll down a ramp. In this experiment Joe takes the measurement 5 times and gets
PolarNik [594]

 Step by step solution :

standard deviation is given by :

\sigma = \sqrt\dfrac{{\sum (x-\bar{x})^2}}{n}

where, \sigma is standard deviation

\bar{x} is mean of given data

n is number of observations

From the above data, \bar{x}=24.88

Now, if x=24.8, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0064

If  x=23.9, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.9604

if x=26.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=1.4884

If x=25.1, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.0484

If x=24.5, then (x-\bar{x})^2=0.1444

so, \sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =\frac{0.0064+0.9604+1.4884+0.0484+0.1444}{5}

\sum (x-\bar{x})^2 =2.648

\sqrt{\sum \frac{(x-\bar{x})^2}{n}}

\sigma =0.7277

No, Joe's value does not agree with the accepted value of 25.9 seconds. This shows a lots of errors.
