At an accident scene on a level road, investigators measure a car's skid mark to be 98 m long. It was a rainy day and the coeffi

cient of friction was estimated to be 0.38. a) Use these data to determine the speed of the car when the driver slammed on (and locked) the brakes.b) Why does the car's mass not matter?

Answer:

a. V = 19.1m/s

b. The mass of the car does not matter

Explanation:

A.

KE = 1/2mv² = fd --------(1)

Fd = umgd ---------(2)

Therefore,

1/2mv² = umgd ---------(3)

M will cancel itself out from both sides of equation 3.

Then we will have:

1/2v² = ugd

Then we cross multiply to make v² the subject of the formula

V² = 2ugd

V = √2ugd -------(4)

U = 0.38

g = 9.81

d = 98

When we input these values into equation 4, we will have:

V = √2x0.38x9.81x98

V = √730.6488

V = 27.03m/s

B.

The mass of the car does not actually matter as the mass was cancelled out on the both sides of equation 3

(1) <span>Electric current is defined as the rate of </span>charge<span> flow past a given point in an electric circuit. It is measured in Coulombs/second, also called Amperes. In </span>DC electric circuits<span>, it can be assumed that the </span>resistance<span> to current flow is a constant so that the current in the circuit is related to </span>voltage<span> and resistance by </span>Ohm's law, which is:

V = I*R
Where V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance

(4) <span>Renewable energy is the energy which is generated from the natural sources i.e. sun, tides, wind etc. Examples are: Solar Energy, Wind energy( windmill) etc. for electricity generation.
Advantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is available in abundant quantity.
2) It is free to use.
3) It has </span><span>low carbon emissions, therefore it is considered as green and environment friendly.
Disadvantages of Renewable Energy:
1) It is not easy to setup plants and machinery for renewable energy.
2) Initial costs for setting up those plants and machinery is quite high.
3) The energy from the natural sources is not available 24/7. In Solar energy case, energy </span><span>can be used during the day time and not during night or rainy season etc.
</span>
Non-Renewable energy is energy which is taken from the sources that are available on the earth in limited quantity. Sources may be <span>fossil fuels, natural gas, oil and coal etc.
</span><span>Advantages of Non-Renewable Energy Sources:
1) They are easy to use.
2) They are cheap.

Disadvantages:
</span>1) They will expire some day (as they are limited).
2) The speed at which such resources are being used can have serious environmental changes.
3) They release toxic gases in the air when burnt which are the major cause for global warming.
<span>4) Since these sources are going to expire soon, prices of these sources are proliferating day by day.

Now you should judge all by yourself which is the better energy source.

For safety reasons, a worker’s eye travel time in a certain operation must be separated from the manual elements that follow. Th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The answer is 12.67 TMU

Explanation:

Recall that,

worker’s eyes travel  distance must be = 20 in.

The perpendicular distance from her eyes to the line of travel is =24 in

What is the MTM-1 normal time in TMUs that should be allowed for the eye travel element = ?

Now,

We solve for the given problem.

Eye travel is = 15.2 * T/D

=15.2 * 20 in/24 in

so,

= 12.67 TMU

Therefore, the MTM -1 of normal time that should be allowed for the eye  travel element is = 12.67 TMU

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

He made great advancements in developing a logical way to know more about the universe and celestial entities inside the space. And this theory is termed to be heliocentric in nature.

Explanation:

  • In early times most of the people believed that our planet Earth is the center of the universe or the solar system and rest of the celestial entities move around it in a given path, so, it confused the well known scientist named as Galileo Galilei. As, he observed the different dark patches or shadow like textures on the face of the Sun.
  • While, it is more obvious to known that any object having multiple small shadows means that it is present inside such a region that all of the celestial entities move or orbit around it in a given way.So, he concluded that planet Earth itself move around the red Giant in a given way rather then being the center of the universe.
