A driver is moving at 17.0 m/s when she sees a child on a bike 65m ahead of her. If the car can brake at 4.9 m/s^2 and the drive

rs reaction time is 1.6 s, can she avoid hitting the child

Answer:

The driver can avoid the child because at the time she brake 1.6s the car just move 20.928 meters so is far to the 65 meters where the kind is

Distance= 20.928 m

Explanation:

$V_{o} = 17 \frac{m}{s} \\a= -4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} }\\ t= 1.6 s$

Distance the kid is 65m so the car have to be less in the time she is braking

So to calculated the distance while she is braking

$X_{f} = X_{o} +V_{o}*t + \frac{1}{2} * a *t^{2}\\ X_{f} = 0m +17 \frac{m}{s} *1.6 s + \frac{1}{2} * 4.9 \frac{m}{s^{2} } *(1.6s)^{2}\\X_{f} = 27.2 m+ (-6.272 m)\\X_{f} = 20.928 m$

The distance of the car is less than the distance of the kid in his bike

So she didn't hit him

A 3200-lb car is moving at 64 ft/s down a 30-degree grade when it runs out of fuel. Find its velocity after that if friction exe

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force = 3200 lb

Angle = 30°

Speed = 64 ft/s

The resistive force with magnitude proportional to the square of the speed,

$F_{r}=kv^2$

Where, k = 1 lb s²/ft²

We need to calculate the velocity

Using balance equation

$F\sin\theta-F_{r}=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}$

Put the value into the formula

$3200\sin 30-kv^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}$

Put the value of k

$3200\times\dfrac{1}{2}-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}$

$1600-v^2=m\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}$

At terminal velocity $\dfrac{d^2v}{dt^2}=0$

So, $1600-v^2=0$

$v=\sqrt{1600}$

$v=40\ ft/sec$

Hence, The velocity is 40 ft/sec.

Compute the power output (watts) during one minute of treadmill exercise, given the following: Treadmill grade-10% Horizontal sp

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

c. 981 watts

$P=981\ W$

Explanation:

Given:

horizontal speed of treadmill, $v=100\ m.min^{-1}=\frac{5}{3} \ m.s^{-1}$

weight carried, $w=588.6\ N$

grade of the treadmill, $G\%=10\%$

<u>Now the power can be given by:</u>

$P=v.w$

$P=588.6\times\frac{5}{3}$ (where grade is the rise of the front edge per 100 m of the horizontal length)

$P=981\ W$

What is used as evidence for sea-floor spreading?

raketka [301]

Answer:

Sea-floor spreading occurs in the oceanic ridges. In there, volcanic activity, together with the gradual movement of the bottom, form new oceanic crust. This allows a better understanding of the continental drift explained by the theory of plate tectonics.

The greatest evidence for Sea-floor spreading is the oceanic trenches, the oceanic ridges, the magma protruding to the surface and the new seafloor.

In previous theories, continents were assumed to be transported across the sea. Harry Hess, in the 1960s, proposed the idea that the seabed itself moves as it expands from a central point. The theory is now accepted, and the phenomenon is thought to be caused by convection currents in the upper layer of the mantle.

The greatest ocean depths on the Earth are found in the Marianas Trench near the Philippines. Calculate the pressure (in atm) du

frozen [14]

Answer:

$P = 103867260$ atm

Explanation:

The pressure at the bottom of any liquid column is equal to product of density of the liquid , gravitational acceleration constant (g) and height of the water column

Thus, $P = \rho*g*h$

Substituting the given values, we get -

$P = 1029$ kg/m3 $* 9.8$ m/s^2 $*10.3 *1000$ meters

$P = 103867260$ atm
