You are driving at 25 m/s with your cruise control on when you see a fallen tree in the road. It takes you 0.30 s to put on the

brakes, your car decelerates at a rate of 5.0 m/s2, and the tree is 75 m ahead. Will you hit the tree? Choose the correct answer and reason below.

3 0

Explanation:

Given data

velocity v= 25m/s

The time it takes to put on brake t= 0.3s

the distance covered when the  brake was put on is

v=s/t

s= v*t

s= 25*0.3s

s= 7.5m

hence the distance covered is 7.5m

Also the rate of decrease in aceleration is 5m/s^2

we can also calculate the distance covered at this rate

v^2=u^2+2as

25^2= 0+2*5*s

625=10s

divide both sides by 10

s=625/10

s= 62.5m

The total  distance covered between putting on the brakes and decelareation is  7.5+62.5= 70m

Given that the tree is 75m ahead, the car would not hit the tree

jeka94

Answer:

51 miles/hour

Explanation:

<em>Talia is on a road trip with some friends. in the first 2 hours, they travel 100 miles. then they hit traffic and go only 30 miles in the next hour. the last hour of their trip, they drive 75 miles. calculate the average speed of talia’s car during the trip. give your answer to the nearest whole number.</em>

<em />

<em>The average speed would be 51 miles/hour.</em>

<u>The average speed of a moving object is defined as the total distance traveled relative to the total time taken fro the journey. Mathematically, it is given as:</u>

  total distance traveled/total time taken.

In this case;

Total distance traveled = 100 + 30 + 75 = 205 miles

Total time taken = 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 hours

Therefore;

Average speed = 205/4 = 51.25 miles/hour

<em>To the nearest whole number = 51 miles/hour</em>

A force of 3kN acts on a car to make it accelerate by 1.5m/s/s. What is the mass of the car?
Masja [62]

Answer:

2

Explanation:

To find force it's force = mass times acceleration so to find mass you would divide force by acceleration

A fixed mass of an ideal gas is heated from 50°C to 80°C (a) at constant volume and (b) at constant pressure. For which case do
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

Explanation:

given data

temperature T1 =  50°C

temperature T2 = 80°C

solution

we know energy require to heat the air is express as

for constant pressure and volume

Q  = m ×  c × ΔT     ........................1

here m is mass of the gas and c is specific heat of the gas and Δ T is change in temperature of the gas

here both Mass and temperature difference is equal and energy required is dependent on specific heat of air.

and here at constant pressure Specific heat  is greater than the specific heat at constant volume,

so the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree at constant pressure is

Specific heat at constant pressure is =  1.005 kJ/kg.K

and

Specific heat at constant volume is =  0.718 kJ/kg.K

A car travels along a highway with a velocity of 24 m/s, west. The car exits the highway; and 4.0 s later, its instantaneous vel
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

4.25 m/s^{2}

Explanation:

Change in velocity considering the x component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_x= 16cos 45^{\circ}-24=-12.6862915 m/s

Change in velocity considering the y component will be

Final velocity-Initial velocity

\triangle v_y= 16sin 45^{\circ}-0=11.3137085 m/s

Resultant change in velocity=\sqrt {(-12.6862915 m/s)^{2}+(11.3137085 m/s)^{2}}=16.9982938 m/s

Acceleration= change in velocity per unit time hence

a= \frac {16.9982938}{4}=4.24957345\approx 4.25 m/s^{2}
