Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. Usually, acceleration means the speed is changing, but not always. When an object moves in a circular path at a constant speed, it is still accelerating, because the direction of its velocity is changing.

A ranger in a national park is driving at 56 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 65 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

 t = 1.58 s

Explanation:

given,

Speed of ranger, v = 56 km/h

                            v = 56 x 0.278 = 15.57 m/s

distance, d = 65 m

deceleration,a = 3 m/s²

reaction time = ?

using stopping distance formula

d = v. t + \dfrac{v^2}{2a}

t = \dfrac{d}{v} -\dfrac{v}{2a}

t is the reaction time

t = \dfrac{65}{15.57} -\dfrac{15.57}{2\times 3}

 t = 1.58 s

hence, the reaction time of the ranger is equal to 1.58 s.

A 1500 kg truck is acted upon by a force that decreases its speed from 25 m/s to 15 m/s in 8 s. What is the magnitude of the for
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

F = 1,875 N

Explanation:

force=

\frac{change \: in \: momentum}{time \: taken}

∆H = m∆V

where ∆H ----> change in momentum.

( final momentum - initial momentum )

and ∆V ----> change in velocity

( final velocity - initial velocity )

and m ----> is mass

then f =

\frac{1500 \times (25 - 15)}{8}

= 1,875 N

A 60 mAs results in an exposure of 85 mGya, with all factors remaining the same, what would the new exposure be if 120 mAs is us
Cloud [144]

Answer: d₂ = 170 mGya

Explanation:

the relationship between absonbed 'd' and exposure 'E' is given as;

D(Gv) = F . x (AS/xB)

F is a conversion coefficient depending on medium

so we can simply write

d₁/d₂ = x₁/x₂

Given that;

our x₁ = 60 mAs, x₂ = 120 mAs,  d₁ = 85 mGya, d₂ = ?

from the given formula,

d₂ = (x₂d₁ / x₁)

now we substitute

d₂ = (120 × 85) / 60

d₂ = 170 mGya

∴ if 120 mAa is used,  the new exposure will be 170 mGya

A stone initially moving at 8.0 m/s on a level surface comes to rest due to friction after it travels 11 m. What is the coeffici
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.296

Explanation:

We have given initial speed of the stone u = 8 m /sec

It comes to rest so final speed v = 0 m /sec

Distance traveled before coming to rest s = 11 m

According to third equation of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

So 0^2=8^2+2\times a\times 11

a=\frac{-64}{22}=-2.90m/sec^2

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

We know that acceleration is given by

a=\mu g

So 2.90=9.8\times \mu \\

\mu =\frac{2.9}{9.8}=0.296

So coefficient of friction will be 0.296
