The best answer is D. The SI system, which is based on the metric system, has been more widely adopted than the English system, which is harder to use. In order to standardize measurements, the International System of Units or the SI units are commonly used around the world since they are more easy to understand and compare than the English unit.

The time that an object takes to complete its orbit once around the sun

Naya [18.7K]

The farther away an object is from the Sun the slower it orbits around it. The closer an object is from the Sun the faster it orbits around it.

In creating his definition of horsepower, James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine, calculated the power output of a horse o

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Part a)

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

$P = 0.55 HP$

Explanation:

Diameter of the circle = 24 ft

Diameter = 731.52 cm = 7.3152 m

now the horse complete 144 trips in one hour

so time to complete one trip is given as

$t = \frac{3600}{144} s$

$t = 25 s$

now the speed of the horse is given as

$v = \frac{2\pi r}{t}$

$v = \frac{\pi(7.3152)}{25}$

$v = 0.92 m/s$

Part a)

Now we know that the power is defined as rate of work done

it is given as

$P = F v$

$746 = F(0.92)$

$F = 810.9 N$

$F = 182.3 Lb$

Part b)

Work done to climb up to 3 m height is given by

$W = mgh$

now we have

$Power = \frac{Work}{time}$

$P = \frac{mgh}{t}$

$P = \frac{(70kg)(9.81)(3)}{5.0s}$

$P = 412.02 Watt$

now we know that 1 HP = 746 Watt

so we have

$P = \frac{412}{746} = 0.55 HP$

To stop a car, first you require a certain reaction time to begin braking; then the car slows under the constant braking deceler

ANEK [815]

Answer:

a) $t_r = 0.55 s$

b) a = 5.59 m/s²

Explanation:

given,

total distance traveled by the car to stop is 56.9 m when speed of vehicle is 80 km/h or 80 × 0.278 = 22.24 m/s

total distance traveled by the car to stop is 25.7 m when speed of vehicle is 50.7 km/h or 50.7 × 0.278 = 14.09 m/s

using stopping distance formula

$s_1 = v_1 t_r +\dfrac{v_1^2}{2 a}$ ................(1)

$s_2 = v_2 t_r +\dfrac{v_2^2}{2 a}$ ..............(2)

on solving both the equation we get

$a = \dfarc{v_1v_2(v_1-v_2)}{2(s_1v_2-s_2v_1)}$

$a = \dfarc{22.4\times 14.09(22.24-14.09)}{2(56.9\times 14.09-25.7\times 22.24)}$

a = 5.59 m/s²

now reaction time calculation

$t_r =\dfrac{v_1^2d_2-v_2^2d_1}{v_1v_2(v_1-v_2)}$

$t_r =\dfrac{22.24^2\times 25.7-14.09^2\times 56.9}{22.4\times 14.09(22.24-14.09)}$

$t_r = 0.55 s$
