Answer:

5.25%

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Percentage error =.?

Next, we shall determine the absolute error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Measured value = 226316 miles

Absolute Error =?

Absolute Error = |Measured – Accepted|

Absolute Error = |226316 – 238857|

Absolute Error = 12541

Finally, we shall determine the percentage error. This can be obtained as follow:

Accepted value = 238857 miles

Absolute Error = 12541

Percentage error =.?

Percentage error = absolute error / accepted value × 100

Percentage error

= 12541 / 238857 × 100

= 1254100 / 238857

= 5.25%

Therefore, the percentage error is 5.25%.

A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m$

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

$\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds$

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds
