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

Give the reason that antifreeze is added to a car radiator
Illusion [34]
As it's name suggests it is a liquid with a very low freezing point. When added to the water in your car's cooling system it keeps it from freezing in cold weather. If the water in your cooling system freezes the radiator and associated piping would crack.

How will air resistance affect a falling object?
Greeley [361]
<span>Air resistance, also called drag, acts upon a falling body by slowing the body down to the point where it stops accelerating, and it falls at a constant speed, known as the terminal velocity of a falling object. Air resistance depends on the cross-sectional area of the object, which is why the effect of air resistance on a large flat-surfaced object is much greater than on a small, stream-lined object.</span>
