Ms. Terry Novel is driving down the highway at 26 m/s when the driver sees the light ahead turn yellow. It takes the driver 0.3

s to react and the maximum braking acceleration of her car is 5.3 m/s2. If the light stays yellow for a total of 4 seconds, how far does she travel in this time?

Answer:

67.8 m.

Explanation:

For 0.3 sec which is the response time , he will keep on moving with velocity

undiminished or at 26 m/s .

Distance travelled during this period

= 26 x .3 =7.8 m

For rest of the time ie during 4 - .3 = 3.7 s , he decelerates with deceleration of 5.3 ms⁻²  and initial velocity of 26 m/s

s = u t - 1/2 a t²

s = 26 x 3.7 - .5 x 5.3 x 3.7 x 3.7

= 96.2 - 36.28

= 60 m approx.

Total distance travelled

=60 + 7.8 = 67.8 m.

Why does salt dissolve in water act as an antifreeze?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

An antifreeze is a substance which when added to a liquid reduces the freezing point of the liquid. Hence the solution can only freeze at a lower temperature compared to the solvent. Examples of antifreeze includes salt and propylene glycol. Antifreeze are used in low temperature environments to prevent water from freezing quicky. Hence the answer is A.

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and  opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .
