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.

If you could shine a very powerful flashlight beam toward the Moon, estimate the diameter of the beam when it reaches the Moon.
grin007 [14]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the Rayleigh Criterion (Angular resolution)criterion. This conceptos describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.  By definition is defined as:

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{d}

Where,

\lambda= Wavelength

d = Width of the slit

\theta= Angular resolution

Through the arc length we can find the radius, which would be given according to the length and angle previously described.

The radius of the beam on the moon is

r = l\theta

Relacing \theta

r = l(\frac{1.22\lambda}{d})

r = 1.22\frac{l\lambda}{d}

Replacing with our values we have that,

r = 1.22*(\frac{(384*10^3km)(\frac{1000m}{1km})(550*10^{-9}m)}{7*10^{{-2}}})

r = 3680.91m

Therefore the diameter of the beam on the moon is

d = 2r

d = 2 * (3690.91)

d = 7361.8285m

Hence, the diameter of the beam when it reaches the moon is 7361.82m

Organisms that existed over a limited period

Explanation:

Index fossils are organisms that existed within a limited period in the geologic record.

These fossils are indicator fossils that serves as guide to define the relative ages of rocks in a sequence.

Here are some characteristics of index fossils:

  • they must have existed over a limited period in their history.
  • they must be very distinctive with short evolutionary tend.
  • they must be abundant and highly widespread in the stratigraphic column.
