A person driving her car at 48 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow

light lasts only 2.0 s before turning to red, and she is 30 m away from the near side of the intersection (Fig. 2-29). Should she try to stop, or should she make a run for it? The intersection is 15 m wide. Her car's maximum deceleration is -7.0 m/s2, whereas it can accelerate from 48 km/h to 70 km/h in 6.6 s. Ignore the length of her car and her reaction time. If she hits the brakes, how far will she travel before stopping?

Answer:

She must stop the car  before interception, distance traveled 12.66 m

Explanation:

We will take all units to the SI system

Vo = 48Km / h (1000m / 1Km) (1h / 3600s) = 13.33 m / s

V2 = 70 Km / h = 19.44 m / s

We calculate the distance traveled before stopping

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

Time is what it takes traffic light to turn red  is t = 2.0 s

X = 13.33 2 + 1.2 (-7) 2²

X = 12.66 m

It stops car before reaching the traffic light turning to red

Let's analyze what happens if you accelerate, let's calculate the acceleration of the vehicle

     V2 = Vo + a t2

      a = (V2-Vo) / t2

      a = (19.44-13.33) /6.6

      a = 0.926 m / s2

This is the acceleration to try to pass the interception, now let's calculate the distance it travels in the time the traffic light changes from yellow to red (t = 2.0 s)

X = Vo t + ½ to t²

X = 13.33 2 + ½ 0.926 2²

X = 28.58 m

Since the vehicle was 30 m away, the interception does not happen

never [62]
Hi Pupil Here's Your answer :::


➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡➡


When an object is moving with uniform circular motion, the centripetal acceleration of the object \textbf{is\:Zero}.


Because the body is moving with a uniform velocity and hence, there might not be any acceleration due to it.

The space shuttle travels at about 28,000 km per hour. Using that information, estimate how many hours it will take the shuttle
jasenka [17]
It depends what is the position of earth and saturn. Distance from earth to saturn varies depending on whether earth is between sun and saturn or sun is between earth and saturn. Obviously, the shortest distance will be if earth is between sun and saturn. we will take that the distance between earth and saturn is:

s = 1 275 000 000 km
The time required to travel that distance is:
t = s/v = 45535 hours or 1897.3 days

a ball of diameter 10 cm and mass 10 grams is dropped in a container of water. the cross sectional area of the container is 100
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

h = 9.83 cm

Explanation:

Let's analyze this interesting exercise a bit, let's start by comparing the density of the ball with that of water

       

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

         r = 10 cm = 0.10 m

         m = 10 g = 0.010 kg

         A = 100 cm² = 0.01 m²

the definition of density is

          ρ = m / V

the volume of a sphere

         V = \frac{4}{3} \ \pi r^{3}

          V = \frac{4}{3} π 0.1³

          V = 4.189 10⁻³ m³

let's calculate the density of the ball

           ρ = \frac{0.010}{4.189 \ 10^{-3} }

           ρ = 2.387 kg / m³

the tabulated density of water is

         ρ_water = 997 kg / m³

we can see that the density of the body is less than the density of water. Consequently the body floats in the water, therefore the water level that rises corresponds to the submerged part of the body. Let's write the equilibrium equation

            B - W = 0

            B = W

             

where B is the thrust that is given by Archimedes' principle

           ρ_liquid  g V_submerged = m g

           V_submerged = m / ρ_liquid

we calculate

            V _submerged = 0.10 9.8 / 997

             V_submerged = 9.83 10⁻⁴ m³

The volume increassed of the water container

           V = A h

            h = V / A

let's calculate

            h = 9.83 10⁻⁴ / 0.01

            h = 0.0983  m

this is equal to h = 9.83 cm

A circuit is built based on the circuit diagram shown. What is the current in the 50 Ω resistor
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1.2 A

Explanation:

From the diagram attached, The three resistors are parallel because the each ends of the resistors are connected together. Since they are in parallel, the voltage across each resistor is the same. The voltage source connected in parallel to the resistors is 60 V. Therefore the voltage across the 50 Ω resistor is 60 V. Using ohm law:

Voltage (V) = Current (I) × Resistance (R)

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 60 V/ 50 Ω

I = 1.2 A

The current in the 50 Ω resistor is 1.2 A
