You're driving down the highway late one night at 21 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 35 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

e before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/ s 2.
How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

Speed with which initially car is moving is 21 m/s

Reaction time = 0.50 s

distance traveled in the reaction time d = v t

d = 21 * 0.50 = 10.5 m

deceleration after this time = -10 m/s^2

now the distance traveled by the car after applying bakes

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2a d

0 - 21^2 = 2(-10)d

d = 22.05 m

so total distance moved before it stop

d = 22.05 + 10.5 = 32.55 m

so the distance from deer is 35 - 32.55 = 2.45 m

now to find the maximum speed with we can move we will assume that we will just touch the deer when we stop

so our distance after brakes are applied is d = 35 - 10.5 = 24.5 m

again by kinematics

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 ad

0 - v^2 = 2(-10)(24.5)

v = 22.1 m/s

so maximum speed would be 22.1 m/s

Answer:

Gypsum

Explanation:

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of Calcium Sulfate di-hydrate. It is widely used in composition of fertilizer. It is also known as land plaster. On adding gypsum to soil, the quality of soil is improved. It conditions the soil and adds nutrients. The properties of soil is improved. Hence, the correct answer is Gypsum.

What is Elasticity? (best answer will get marked brainliest)
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

In economics, elasticity is the measurement of the percentage change of one economic variable in response to a change in another.

An elastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value greater than 1) is one which responds more than proportionally to changes in other variables. In contrast, an inelastic variable (with an absolute elasticity value less than 1) is one which changes less than proportionally in response to changes in other variables. A variable can have different values of its elasticity at different starting points: for example, the quantity of a good supplied by producers might be elastic at low prices but inelastic at higher prices, so that a rise from an initially low price might bring on a more-than-proportionate increase in quantity supplied while a rise from an initially high price might bring on a less-than-proportionate rise in quantity supplied.

Elasticity can be quantified as the ratio of the percentage change in one variable to the percentage change in another variable, when the latter variable has a causal influence on the former. A more precise definition is given in terms of differential calculus. It is a tool for measuring the responsiveness of one variable to changes in another, causative variable. Elasticity has the advantage of being a unitless ratio, independent of the type of quantities being varied. Frequently used elasticities include price elasticity of demand, price elasticity of supply, income elasticity of demand, elasticity of substitution between factors of production and elasticity of intertemporal substitution.

Elasticity is one of the most important concepts in neoclassical economic theory. It is useful in understanding the incidence of indirect taxation, marginal concepts as they relate to the theory of the firm, and distribution of wealth and different types of goods as they relate to the theory of consumer choice. Elasticity is also crucially important in any discussion of welfare distribution, in particular consumer surplus, producer surplus, or government surplus.

In empirical work an elasticity is the estimated coefficient in a linear regression equation where both the dependent variable and the independent variable are in natural logs. Elasticity is a popular tool among empiricists because it is independent of units and thus simplifies data analysis.

A major study of the price elasticity of supply and the price elasticity of demand for US products was undertaken by Joshua Levy and Trevor Pollock in the late 1960s..

maria [59]

The correct answer for the statement “All the scientific theories used to explain the formation of the solar system are non-testable”. The answers outdated, imaginative and unacceptable are wrong. These theories are not proven and yet are not tested due to the complexity.
