A truck contains both hydraulic brakes (reliability 0.96) and mechanical brakes (reliability 0.99). What is the probability of s

topping the truck (i) while moving at a high speed, assuming both systems must work to avoid hitting a vehicle stalled in the roadway, and (ii) while moving at a low speed, assuming either system will stop the truck in time if they function properly

Answer:

i) 0.9504

ii) 0.0452

Explanation:

Given data: reliability of hydraulic brakes= 0.96

reliability of mechanical brakes = 0.99

So the probability of stopping the truck = 0.96×0.99= 0.9504

At low speed

case: A works and B does not

= 0.96×(1-0.99) = 0.0096

case2 : B works and A does not

= 0.99×(1-0.96) = 0.0396

Therefore, probality of stopping = 0.0096+0.0396 = 0.0492

balls a, with a mass of 20 kg, is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should Ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t
Leya [2.2K]
In that case, their momentum must be equal. 
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>
