Answer:
the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
Explanation:
Given that;
speed of car V = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s
Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec
Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec
extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec
now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver will be'
S_d = V × 2.2 sec
S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec
S_d = 73.3333 m
hence, number of car of additional car length n will be;
n = S_n / car length
n = 73.3333 m / 5m
n = 14.666 ≈ 15
Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15
Answer:
The driver hits the stationery dog because the applied force is less than required force
Explanation:
Kinetic energy will be given by
where m is the mass of the vehicle and v is the speed/velocity of the vehicle.
Substituting 800 Kg for m and 20 m/s for v we obtain

Frictional force by vehicle pads is given by
where d is the distance moved
Substituting 160000 for KE and 50 m for d we obtain

Therefore, the vehicle hits the dog since the required force is 3200N but the driver applied only 2000 N
Answer:
Their efforts would be expressed in units of Joules per second
Explanation:
The unit of their efforts can be derived from the formula of power which is given by the product of mass, acceleration and distance (the product is energy with unit joules) divided by time taken to complete the task (unit is seconds)
Therefore, the unit of their efforts would be joules per second
Answer:

Explanation:
As we know that when electron moved in electric field then work done by electric field must be equal to the change in kinetic energy of the electron
So here we have to find the work done by electric field on moving electron
So we have



now the distance moved by the electron is given as

so we have



now we have to convert it into keV units
so we have


Think of it like this, gravity has to pull harder on the heavier object to make them fall at the same rate , but doesn't have to pull as hard for the lighter object , thus is why sometimes heavier objects fall faster then lighter ones
