Answer:
- Distance between car and the deer when the car stopped = 20 m
- The time required for you to stop once you press the brakes = less than 5 s in order not to hit the deer.
Explanation:
Using the equations of motion,
In the 0.5 s reaction time, we need to first calculate how far he has travelled in that time.
a = 0 m/s² (Since the car is travelling at constant velocity)
x = ?
Initial velocity = u = 20 m/s
x = ut + at²/2
x = 20×0.5 + 0 = 10 m
From that moment,
a = - 10 m/s²
u = initial velocity at the start of the deceleration = 10 m/s
v = final velocity = 0 m/s
x = ?
v² = u² + 2ax
0² = 10² + 2(-10)(x)
20x = 100
x = 5 m
Total distance travelled from when the deer stepped onto the road = 10 + 5 = 15 m
Distance between car and the deer when the car stopped = 35 - 15 = 20 m
b) To determine the time required to stop once you step on the brakes
u = 10 m/s
t = ?
v = 0 m/s²
x = distance from when the brake was stepped on to the deer = 35 - 10 = 25 m
x = (u + v)t/2
25 = (10 + 0)t/2
10t = 50
t = 5 s
Meaning the time required to stop once you step on the brakes is less than 5s.
Answer:
A change of one degree Celsius = a change of one Kelvin, but a Celsius temperature is never equal to a Kelvin temperature. A change of 1 degree Fahrenheit equals a change of 5/9 = 0.56 degrees Celsius. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius, subtract 32 and multiply by 5/9.
Explanation:
B: heat is transferred as thermal energy by the interaction of moving particles
Answer: B = 1380T

Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.
Explanation:
When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.
By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.
The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.
F= -kx, where,
F= restoring force
x= displacement or deformation
k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.
Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.
