A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.

The typical reaction time for an alert driver is 0.8 s versus 3 s for a sleepy driver. Assuming a typical car length of 5 m, calculate the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver. Group of answer choices

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V  = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver  will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length  n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Two billiard balls move toward each other on a table. The mass of the number three ball, m1, is 5 g with a velocity of 3 m/s. Th
Ymorist [56]

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of momentum and velocity.

The velocity of the eight ball is "5.7 m/s".

According to the law of conservation of momentum:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = mass of number three ball = 5 g

m₂ = mass of the eight ball = 6 g

u₁ = velocity of the number three ball = 3 m/s

u₂ = velocity of the eight ball = - 1 m/s (negative sign due to opposite direction)

v₁ = final velocity of the three number ball = - 5 m/s

v₂ = final velocity of the eight ball = ?

Therefore,

(5 g)(3 m/s) + (6 g)(- 1 m/s) = (5 g)(- 5 m/s) + (6 g)(v₂)

v_2=\frac{34\ g.m/s}{6\ g}\\\\

<u>v₂ = 5.7 m/s</u>

Which evidence supports the big band theory select 3 options
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different theories and evidence about the big bang, in this case, we're going to see three evidence.

The galaxies are moving from us, this means space is expanded, this in consequence Big Bang's explosion.

The cosmic microwave background radiation is related to the early warmth of the universe.

The observed abundance of hydrogen, helium, deuterium, lithium, these are checked from the spectra of the oldest stars.

A proton and an electron are placed in an electric field. Which undergoes the greater acceleration?
iren2701 [21]

Newton's 2nd law:

Fnet = ma

Fnet is the net force acting on an object, m is the object's mass, and a is the acceleration.

The electric force on a charged object is given by

Fe = Eq

Fe is the electric force, E is the electric field at the point where the object is, and q is the object's charge.

We can assume, if the only force acting on the proton and electron is the electric force due to the electric field, that for both particles, Fnet = Fe

Fe = Eq

Eq = ma

a = Eq/m

We will also assume that the electric field acting on the proton and electron are the same. The proton and electron also have the same magnitude of charge (1.6×10⁻¹⁹C). What makes the difference in their acceleration is their masses. A quick Google search will provide the following values:

mass of proton = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg

mass of electron = 9.11×10⁻³¹kg

The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, so the electron will experience a greater acceleration than the proton.
