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
<u>ΔS = 49.13 ft</u>
Answer:
Its mechanical energy is the same.
Explanation:
If forces are only conservative, the mechanical energy will be the same.
It can be different if energy get transformed in another kind of energy like elastic energy for example, although the amount of energy is always the same.
If we just have mechanical energy not geting transformed we have:
Em=K+U
Em: Mechanical energy
K: Kinetic energý
U: Potential energy
Then if Kinetic energy decreases 10J, Potential energy will grow up 10J to keep the same amount of mechanical energy.
Answer:
1. Hydrogen
2. Helium
Explanation:
Nuclear fusion is when two atoms of Hydrogen join together to form one Helium atom.
Work done is the distance a force acts over.
So, the work done here is 9.0N * 3.0m = 27 J
