Answer:

The value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Explanation:

Given;

maximum distance to be traveled by the car when the brake is applied, d = 450 ft

initial velocity of the car, u = 60 mph = (1.467 x 60) = 88.02 ft/s

final velocity of the car when it stops, v = 0

Apply the following kinematic equation to solve for the deceleration of the car.

v² = u² + 2as

0 = 88.02² + (2 x 450)a

-900a = 7747.5204

a = -7747.5204 / 900

a = -8.61 ft/s²

|a| = 8.61 ft/s²

Therefore, the value of acceleration that accomplishes this is 8.61 ft/s² .

Burka [1]

Explanation:

Let acceleration due to Gravity for a planet is given by:

g_X=GM/R^2

Here,g_X = 2g

Escape velocity is given by:

v =\sqrt{ \frac{2GM} {R}} = \sqrt{2aR}

Here, R=R_earth/2

and g_X = 2g

Therefore,v=\sqrt(2(2g)(R/2))=v_0

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.
