Human reaction times are worsened by alcohol. How much further (in feet) would a drunk driver's car travel before he hits the br

Answer:

A drunk driver's car travel 49.13 ft further than a sober driver's car, before it hits the brakes

Explanation:

Distance covered by the car after application of brakes, until it stops can be found by using 3rd equation of motion:

2as = Vf² - Vi²

s = (Vf² - Vi²)/2a

where,

Vf = Final Velocity of Car = 0 mi/h

Vi = Initial Velocity of Car = 50 mi/h

a = deceleration of car

s = distance covered

Vf, Vi and a for both drivers is same as per the question. Therefore, distance covered by both car after application of brakes will also be same.

So, the difference in distance covered occurs before application of brakes during response time. Since, the car is in uniform speed before applying brakes. Therefore, following equation shall be used:

s = vt

FOR SOBER DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 0.33 s

s = s₁

Therefore,

s₁ = (73.33 ft/s)(0.33 s)

s₁ = 24.2 ft

FOR DRUNK DRIVER:

v = (50 mi/h)(1 h/ 3600 s)(5280 ft/mi) = 73.33 ft/s

t = 1 s

s = s₂

Therefore,

s₂ = (73.33 ft/s)(1 s)

s₂ = 73.33 ft

Now, the distance traveled by drunk driver's car further than sober driver's car is given by:

ΔS = s₂ - s₁

ΔS = 73.33 ft - 24.2 ft

ΔS = 49.13 ft

Given the following lens combination:

natulia [17]

Given:

Lens.........diameter ...fl#

eyepiece...2cm............5

objective...40cm........15

focal length of eyepiece = 2*5 = 10cm

focal length of objective = 40*15 = 600cm

magnification = FL obj / FL eyp = 600/10 = 60x

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do

Flauer [41]

<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

Solution:

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

Find the work done:

$work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule$

Find the time taken

$power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second$

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: "B" Changing Position

Great Question!

Explanation: When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, the ball ends up changing position
