A ranger in a national park is driving at 52 km/h when a deer jumps onto the road 87 m ahead of the vehicle. After a reaction ti

me of t s, the ranger applies the brakes to produce a deceleration of 4.0 m/s2 . What is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

Time, t = 0.23 seconds

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial speed of the ranger, u = 52 km/h = 14.44 m/s

Final speed of the ranger, v = 0 (as brakes are applied)

Acceleration of the ranger, a=-4\ m/s^2

Distance between deer and the vehicle, d = 87 m

Let d' is the distance covered by the deer so that it comes top rest. So,

d'=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

d'=\dfrac{-(14.44)^2}{2\times -4}

d' = 26.06 m

Distance between the point where the deer stops and the vehicle is :

D=d-d'

D=87 - 26.06 = 60.94 m

Let t is the maximum reaction time allowed if the ranger is to avoid hitting the deer. It can be calculated as :

t=\dfrac{v}{D}

t=\dfrac{14.44}{60.94}

t = 0.23 seconds

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which liquid will evaporate the fastest water salt water pepsi and gatorade?
MArishka [77]
The liquid that will evaporate the quickest would be water. 
<em>~The rest are mixtures, and have more ingrediants in them, therefore the answer should be water. (in which it has no other ingrediants in it but water itself)</em>

330 g of water at 55°c are poured into an 855 g aluminum container with an initial temperature of 10°
Olenka [21]
The final temperature of the system is 32.5°
we know,  H = mcT 
where, H = Heat content of the body 
m = Mass,
c = Specific heat
T = Change in temperature
According to to the Principle of Calorimetry 

The net heat remains constant i.e. 
⇒ the heat given by water = heat accepted by the aluminum container.
⇒ 330 x 1 x (45 - T) = 855 x \frac{900}{4200} x (T - 10) 

⇒ 14,850 - 330T = 183.21T  - 1832 

⇒ - 513.21 T = - 16682

or T = 32.5°
