Answer:

17.1

Explanation:

The distance ahead, of the deer when it is sighted by the park ranger, d = 20 m

The initial speed with which the ranger was driving, u = 11.4 m/s

The acceleration rate with which the ranger slows down, a = (-)3.80 m/s² (For a vehicle slowing down, the acceleration is negative)

The distance required for the ranger to come to rest, s = Required

The kinematic equation of motion that can be used to find the distance the ranger's vehicle travels before coming to rest (the distance 's'), is given as follows;

v² = u² + 2·a·s

∴ s = (v² - u²)/(2·a)

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 m/s (the vehicle comes to rest (stops))

Plugging in the values for 'v', 'u', and 'a', gives;

s = (0² - 11.4²)/(2 × -3.8) = 17.1

The distance the required for the ranger's vehicle to com to rest, s = 17.1 (meters).

A circular loop of wire of area 10 cm^2 carries a current of 25 A. At a particular instant, the loop lies in the xy-plane and is

S_A_V [24]

The magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is 0.025 Am².

The magnetic torque on the loop is 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ Nm.

<h3>What is magnetic dipole moment?</h3>

The magnetic dipole moment of an object, is the measure of the object's tendency to align with a magnetic field.

Mathematically, magnetic dipole moment is given as;

μ = NIA

where;

N is number of turns of the loop
A is the area of the loop
I is the current flowing in the loop

μ = (1) x (25 A) x (0.001 m²)

μ = 0.025 Am²

The magnetic torque on the loop is calculated as follows;

τ = μB

where;

B is magnetic field strength

B = √(0.002² + 0.006² + 0.008²)

B = 0.01 T

τ = μB

τ = 0.025 Am² x 0.01 T

τ = 2.5 x 10⁻⁴ Nm

Thus, the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop is determined from the current and area of the loop while the magnetic torque on the loop is determined from the magnetic dipole moment.

The driving force behind an efficient supply chain is __________.

Doss [256]

Customer satisfaction is considered to be the "driving force" in order to achieve an efficient supply chain. An efficient supply chain takes place when the organization, or the company itself, meets with the demands of the consumers to improve and provides services that satisfies the people.

A factory line moves parts for an automobile at a constant speed of 0.22 m/s. How long does it take the parts to move 8.5 m alon

OleMash [197]

Answer: C. 39 s

Explanation:

We know the constant speed is 0.22 m/s. We have to get to 8.5 m. We divide <u>8.5 m by 0.22</u> = 38.6. After we estimate, 6 is greater than 5, so 39 s.

A piece of wire 29 m long is cut into two pieces. One piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral tria

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Total length of the wire is 29 m.

Let the length of one piece is d and of another piece is 29 - d.

Let d is used to make a square.

And 29 - d is used to make an equilateral triangle.

(a)

Area of square = d²

Area of equilateral triangle = √3(29 - d)²/4

Total area,

$A = d^{2}+\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\left ( 29-d \right )^{2}$

Differentiate both sides with respect to d.

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2d- \frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times 2(29-d)$

For maxima and minima, dA/dt = 0

d = 8.76 m

Differentiate again we get the

$\frac{d^{2}A}{dt^{2}}= + ve$

(a) So, the area is maximum when the side of square is 29 m

(b) so, the area is minimum when the side of square is 8.76 m
