You are driving a car at the 25-mi/h speed limit when you observe the light at the intersection 65 m in front of you turn yellow

. You know that at that particular intersection the light remains yellow for exactly 6.0s before turning red. After you think for 1.0 s, you then accelerate the car at a constant rate. You somehow manage to pass your 4.1 m car completely through the 15.0 m wide intersection just as the light turns red, thus narrowly avoiding a ticket for running a red light. Immediately after passing through the intersection you take your foot off the accelerator, relieved. However, down the road you are pulled over for speeding. You assume you were ticketed for the speed of your car as it exited the intersection. Determine this speed and decide whether you should fight this ticket in court.

Answer:

v_f = 50 mph

since the speed is exceeded the speed limit so it should not cross the junction

Explanation:

Initial speed of the car is given as

v_i = 25 mph

now we will have

v_i = 11.2 m/s

now the distance that car should move to cross the intersection is given as

d = 65 + 15 + 4.1

d = 84.1 m

Now time to cross the junction is

t = 6 - 1 = 5 s

now the acceleration of the car must be

d = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

84.1 = 11.2(5) + \frac{1}{2}a(5^2)

a = 2.25 m/s^2

Now the final speed of the car is given as

v_f = v_i + at

v_f = 11.2 + (2.25\times 5)

v_f = 22.4 m/s

v_f = 50 mph

since the speed is exceeded the speed limit so it should not cross the junction

Does the depth of a pot affect how water freezes
Iteru [2.4K]
In my opinion it does. The more water the pot holds, the longer you need to wait for it to freeze. Since there is more water, some parts may not be completely frozen. An experiment you can try is to get an ice cube container and a pot. fill both of them and put them in the freezer for the same amount of time. When you take it out, the ice cubes should be frozen leaving the pot with cold water.

a person dives off the edge of aa cliff 33m above the surface of the sea. assuming that air resistance is negligible, how long d
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The time is t = 2.595 \  s

The speed is v = 25.43 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The height of the cliff is  h =  33 \  m

 Generally from kinematic equation we have that

       h  =  ut + \frac{1}{2} gt^2

before the jump the persons initial velocity is  u =  0 m/s

 So

        33   =  0 * t + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 * t^2

=>      t = 2.595 \  s

Generally from kinematic equation

     v= u + gt

=>  v= 0 + 9.8 * 2.595

=>  v = 25.43 \ m/s

Anni [7]

Answer:

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

E=34.5\ J energy dissipated.

Explanation:

Given:

  • time for which the current lasted, t=43\times 10^{-6}\ s
  • potential difference between the feet, V=21000\ V
  • resistance between the feet, R=550\ \Omega

<u>Now, from the Ohm's law we have:</u>

I=\frac{V}{R}

I=\frac{21000}{550}

I=38.181\ A is the current through the body of the man.

<u>Energy dissipated in the body:</u>

E=I^2.R.t

E=38.181^2\times 550\times 43\times 10^{-6}

E=34.5\ J
