Melvin is traveling south on I-95 at 29 m/s (65 mph) when a deer jumps into his path, 50 m ahead. a. If his reaction time is 0.1

8 seconds, how far does he travel before his foot even hits the brake? b. Once his foot hits the brake, he accelerates at –10 m/s2 . How long does it take him to come to a complete stop? c. Does he hit the deer?

Answer:

a. 5.22 meters

b. 2.9 seconds

c. No, Melvin does not hit the deer

Explanation:

The parameters with which Melvin is travelling are as follows;

The speed of Melvin's motion, u = 29 m/s

The distance from Melvin at which the deer jumps into the path = 50 m

a. Distance, d = Velocity, u × Time, t

The time it takes Melvin to react = 0.18 seconds

The distance, "d₁" Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = The velocity with which Melvin was traveling, "u" × The time duration it takes Melvin to hit the brakes, "t₁"

∴ d₁ = 29 m/s × 0.18 s = 5.22 m

The distance, Melvin travels before his foot hits the break = d₁ = 5.22 m

b. Melvin's acceleration after his foot hits the brakes, a = -10 m/s²

Therefore, we have;

The time it takes "t₂" it takes for him to come to a complete stop given as follows;

y = u + a × t₂

Where;

v = The final velocity after Melvin comes to a complete stop = 0 m/s

By substituting the known values, we have;

0 = 29 m/s + (-10 m/s²) × t₂ = 29 m/s - 10 m/s² × t₂

∴ 29 m/s = 10 m/s² × t₂

t₂ = (29 m/s)/(10 m/s²) = 2.9 s

The time it takes it takes for him to come to a complete stop = t₂ = 2.9 s

c. The distance, "d₂", Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·d₂

Therefore, we have;

0² = (29 m/s)² + 2 × (-10 m/s) × d₂ = (29 m/s)² - 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

∴  (29 m/s)² = 2 × 10 m/s × d₂

d₂ = ((29 m/s)²)/(2 × 10 m/s²) = (841 m²/s²)/(20 m/s²) = 42.05 m

The distance, Melvin reaches while accelerating (decelerating) at -10 m/s² to come to a complete stop = d₂ = 42.05 m

Given that d₂ = 42.05 m < 50 m (The distance separating Melvin's initial location and the deer, Melvin does not hit the deer.

Answer:

Approximately 5.5\; \rm N, assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let q_1 and q_2 denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C  and q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C.

Let r denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, r = 0.7\; \rm m.

Let k denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}.

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}.

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}.

A 34.1-mL sample of benzene at 20.8°C was cooled to its melting point, 5.5 °C, and then frozen at 5.5 °C. Calculate the quantity
posledela

Answer:

4541.8 J

Explanation:

First we find the mass of benzene available

mass = density x volume

         = 0.867 x 34.1

         = 29.5647 g

Then we find the amount of heat transferred by two processes:

heat tranferred = heat lost during temp drop + heat lost during freezing

                         = mcΔT + mL

                         = 29.5647 x 1.74 x (20.8 - 5.5) + 29.5647 x 127

                         = 4541.7883434 J

                         = 4541.8 J
