The stopping distances associated with slower speeds approximate the forward visibilities provided by low beam lights. However,

the illumination provided by low beam lights, about 150 feet, does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations where stopping distances are two or more times longer than the illumination distance provided by low beam lights. a. True b. False

Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

Illumination distance is the distance, up to which the light of the vehicle can reach. Hence, it is a maximum distance from the, that driver can see.

Stopping distance is the minimum distance required by the car to stop after brakes are applied.

So, in order to avoid any accident the illumination distance must be greater than the stopping distance. So, the driver can stop the vehicle in time, when he sees something in front of it.

Since, the stopping distance in this case is two or three times longer than illumination distance. Therefore, low beam light does not provide enough visibility in high speed driving situations.

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>a. True</u>

Choose the correct statement regarding the behavior of water. a. The water phase with the highest heat capacity is gas vapor. b.
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

D. The ice-to-liquid phase change of water requires less energy than the liquid-to-vapor phase.

Explanation:

In the phase change from liquid to gas, the bonds between atoms are completely broken. The phase change from liquid to gas requires more energy because the bonds must be completely broken for it to take place, rather than just loosened as in the phase change of solid to liquid.

Phase changes can have a strong stabilizing effect on temperatures that are not near the melting and boiling points, since evaporation and condensation occur even at temperatures below the boiling point.

More energy is required to evaporate water below the boiling point than at the boiling point, because the kinetic energy of water molecules at temperatures below 100°C is less than that at 100°C, so less energy is available from random thermal motions.

What is the critical angle and how does it relate to total internal reflection?
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

critical angle is the angle of incidence in optically denser medium, for which the angle of reflection in the less denser medium is 90 degree

Explanation:

total internal reflection occurs at one particular angle of incidence where the reflected ray lies on the boundary.

this angle is called the critical angle

A Carnot engine operates between two heat reservoirs at temperatures THTH and TCTC. An inventor proposes to increase the efficie
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

e_12=1-Tc/Th

This is same as the original Carnot engine.  

Explanation:

For original Carnot engine, its efficiency is given by

e = 1-Tc/Th

For the composite engine, its efficiency is given by

e_12=(W_1+W_2)/Q_H1

where Q_H1 is the heat input to the first engine, W_1 s the work done by the first engine and W_2 is the work done by the second engine.  

But the work done can be written as  

W= Q_H + Q_C with Q_H as the heat input and Q_C as the heat emitted to the cold reservoir. So.  

e_12=(Q_H1+Q_C1+Q_H2+Q_C2)/Q_H1

But Q_H2 = -Q_C1 so the second and third terms in the numerator cancel  

each other.

 e_12=1+Q_C2/Q_H1

but, Q_C2/Q_H2= -T_C/T'

⇒ Q_C2 = -Q_H2(T_C/T')

               = Q_C1(T_C/T')

(T1 is the intermediate temperature)  

But, Q_C1 = -Q_H1(T'/T_H)

so, Q_C2 =  -Q_H1(T'/T_H)(T_C/T') = Q_H1(T_C/T_H) So the efficiency of the composite engine is given by  

e_12=1-Tc/Th

This is same as the original Carnot engine.

You have gathered green turtle hatchlings from a beach where the magnetic field strength is 50 μT and the dip angle is 56∘. You
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Angle of dip = 56° , magnetic field strength = 50μT

Vertical component = 50 x sin 56 = 41.45 μT

Horizontal component = 50 cos 56 = 27.96μT

New field is added in vertical downwards direction to increase the vertical component so as to increase the angle of dip . Let this field be B

total vertical field = B +  41.45

Horizontal component = 27.96

dip angle be θ

tanθ = vertical component / horizontal component

tan62 = B +  41.45 / 27.96

1.88 = B +  41.45 / 27.96

52.58 = B +  41.45

B = 11.13 μT

Since magnetic field has to be added , current should be clockwise when looked from above.

What is the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 750 microseconds?
Allushta [10]
Use this formula to find your answer...

Determine the frequency of a clock waveform whose period is 2us or (micro) and 0.75ms

frequency (f)=1/( Time period).

Frequency of 2 us clock =1/2*10^-6 =10^6/2 =500000Hz =500 kHz.

Frequency of 0..75ms clock =1/0.75*10^-3 =10^3/0.75 =1333.33Hz =1.33kHz.
