Mr. Turner is driving through downtown Houston at 35 MPH (15.56 m/s). This is above the posted speed limit and there are cars pa

rked alongside the curb in the lane next to Mr. Turner. Of course, a large delivery truck ahead looks like it is parked and driverless, but the driver's door swings open into the lane ahead of Mr. Turner. Mr. Turner's reaction time is 3/4th's of a second and the stopping distance at his speed is 1.7 meters. The driver exiting the delivery truck is 13.3 meters ahead. Can Mr. Turner stop in time? What is the vehicle's acceleration when the brakes are applied?
How far will the vehicle travel before Mr. Turner engages the brake?

Answer:

Mr. Turner will not be able to stop in time.

a = - 71.2 m/s²

s₁ = 11.67 m

Explanation:

Since, Mr. Turner is driving at 45.56 m/s and his reaction time for applying brakes is 3/4th of a second. So, the distance covered by car in this time will be:

s₁ = vt

where,

s₁ = distance covered by car before applying brakes = ?

v = speed of car = 15.56 m/s

t = reaction time = 3/4th of second = 0.75 s

Therefore,

s₁ = (15.56 m/s)(0.75 s)

<u>s₁ = 11.67 m</u>

and the distance required for the car to stop after applying brakes is:

s₂ = 1.7 m

So, the total distance traveled by car before stopping will be:

s = s₁ + s₂

s = 11.67 m 1.7 m

s =  13.37 m

since, the driver was 13.3 m ahead.

<u>Therefore, Mr. Turner will not be able to stop in time.</u>

To find the deceleration of Mr. Turner after applying brakes we use 3rd equation of motion:

2as₂ = Vf² - Vi²

where,

a = deceleration = ?

Vf = Final Velocity = 0 m/s

Vi = Initial velocity = 15.56 m/s

Therefore,

2a(1.7 m) = (0 m/s)² - (15.56 m/s)²

a = - (242.1136 m²/s²)/3.4 m

<u>a = - 71.2 m/s²</u>

Draw equipotential lines near the positive and negative charges below with dashed lines. b) Draw solid electric field lines base
pychu [463]

Answer: find the attached figure for a and b

Explanation:

A) The second figure depict electric field lines and equipotential lines for two equal but opposite charges. The equipotential lines can be drawn by making them perpendicular to the electric field lines. The potential is greatest (most positive) near the positive charge and least (most negative) near the negative charge.

B) The figure attached depicts an isolated point charge Q with its electric field lines in blue and equipotential lines in green. The potential is the same along each equipotential line, meaning that no work is required to move a charge anywhere along one of those lines. Work is needed to move a charge from one equipotential line to another. Equipotential lines are perpendicular to electric field lines in every case.

Please find the attached file for the figure

1. The speed of sound in air is roughly 1,484 m/s. How far, in meters, would a sound wave travel in 3 seconds?
kobusy [5.1K]
Speed = distance/time taken

1484 = distance/3

Distance = 1484 x 3

Distance = 4452 m

Listed following are the names and mirror diameters for six of the world’s greatest reflecting telescopes used to gather visible
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope

Explanation:

How much light a telescope can collect depends on its diameter, since in a bigger area more photons will be collected.    

Remember that in a circle the area is defined as:

A = \pi r^{2}  (1)

Where A is the area and r is its radius.

However, the radius can be determined by means of its diameter.

     

d = 2r

r = \frac{d}{2} (1)

Where d is its diameter.

An example of this is when a person is collecting raindrops with a bucket and with a cup. Since the bucket has a bigger area than the cup, it will collect more raindrops by unit of time. In this scenario the raindrops represent the photons.  

   

To determine the light collecting area of each telescope, equation 2 will be replaced in equation 1.

A = \pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}  (3)

Case for Large binocular telescope:

A_{mirror1} = \pi (\frac{8.4m}{2})^{2}    

A_{mirror1} = 55.41m        

For the second mirror will be the same value

A = A_{mirror1}+A_{mirror2}  

A = 55.41m+55.41m

A= 110.82m

Case for Keck 1 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{10m}{2})^{2}    

A = 78.53m  

Case for Hobby-Ebberly telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{9.2m}{2})^{2}    

A = 66.47m  

Case for Subaru telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8.3m}{2})^{2}    

A = 54.10m  

Case for Gemini North telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{8m}{2})^{2}    

A = 50.26m  

Case for Magellan 2 telescope:

A = \pi (\frac{6.5m}{2})^{2}    

A = 33.18m  

Hence, they may be rank in the following way:

Large binocular telescope, Keck 1 telescope, Hobby-Ebberly telescope, Subaru telescope, Gemini North telescope, Magellan 2 telescope.
