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

Your bike starts with an initial velocity of 1 m/s and you accelerate to 4 m/s in 6 seconds. How far did you travel while accele
garri49 [273]

Answer:

78 m

Explanation:

Initial v = 1 m/s

a = 4 m/s²

t = 6s

x = v_{i} t + \frac{1}{2}at^{2} \\x = (1)(6) + \frac{1}{2} (4)(6)^{2} \\x = 6 + 72\\x = 78

What is energy? Where does it come from? What does it do? Explain in 5 or more sentences please! :)
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Forms of energy could be kinetic energy or potential energy. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun. Energy is used to produce work. Electrical energy for lighting purposes and heating in homes and factories.

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions
