Alcohol consumption slows people's reaction times.In a controlled government test,it takes a certain driver 0.320 s to hit the b

rakes in a crisis when unimpaired and 1.00 s when drunk.When the car is initially traveling at 90km/h,how far does the car travel before coming to a stop when the person is drunk compared to sober?

Answer:

When the person is drunk the car travels 20.1 meters more than when the person is sober. The distance traveled by car is:

Person drunk: 28.1 m

Person sober: 8 m     

Explanation:

The distance traveled can be found using the following equation:

v = \frac{x}{t} \rightarrow x = v*t

Where:

v: is the speed = 90 km/h

t: is the time

When the person is sober, the time that takes to hit the brakes is 0.320 s, so we have:

x = v*t = 90 \frac{km}{h}*\frac{1 h}{3200 s}*0.320 s = 8 \cdot 10^{-3} km = 8 m

And when the person is drunk, the time is 1.00 s, hence the distance is:

x = v*t = 90 \frac{km}{h}*\frac{1 h}{3200 s}*1 s = 0.0281 km = 28.1 m

The distance traveled by the car when the person is drunk compared when the person is sober is:

d = 28.1 m - 8 m = 20.1 m

Therefore, when the person is drunk the car travels 20.1 meters more than when the person is sober.  

I hope it helps you!

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respe
Gwar [14]

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

          β = 10 log \frac{I}{I_{o}}

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

            I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

            I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

            I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

            I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

           I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

           I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

           I3 =1 1-12    (113/10) W/cm²

            I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

           I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

           I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + ​​1.995 10-1

           I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

           I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

         β = 10 log (0.25211 / 1 10⁻¹²)

           β = 114 db

Identify evidence that supports the theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. put responses in the correct input to ans
GenaCL600 [577]

The evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes different fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

<h3>What is continental drift?</h3>

Continental drift is a theory that states continents once were part of one big landmass known as Pangea.

Nowadays, the theory of continental drift proposed by Alfred Wegener has been replaced by plate tectonics.

In conclusion, the evidence that supports continental drift and plate tectonics includes fossils, the same rocks and the shapes of continents that fit together.

"Which of the following statements about electrons is not true?
gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) Within an atom, an electron can have only particular energies.

Explanation:

As we know that electrons have energy but apart from electrons we know that protons and neutrons inside the nucleus of atom will also have energy in them.

rest all the statements are true as we have

A) Electrons orbit the nucleus rather like planets orbiting the Sun.

TRUE, because electrons can move in stationary orbit around the nucleus

C) Electrons can jump between energy levels in an atom only if they receive or give up an amount of energy equal to the difference in energy between the energy levels.

Difference amount of energy is lost or absorbed by the electron in form of photons

D) An electron has a negative electrical charge.

Charge of an electron is given as -1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

E) Electrons have very little mass compared to protons or neutrons

Mass of an electron is given as

m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

mass of proton or neutron

m_p = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg
