Answer:

<u>distance</u><u> </u><u>between</u><u> </u><u>should</u><u> </u><u>be</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>.</u><u>2</u><u>5</u><u> </u><u>×</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>0</u><u>^</u><u>6</u><u> </u><u>m</u>

Explanation:

Force is proportional to separation distance.

250 \: newtons = 2.5 \times  {10}^{6}  \: metres \\ ( \frac{1}{2}  \times 250) \: newtons = d \\  \\ d =  \frac{125 \times 2.5 \times  {10}^{6} }{250}  \\ d = 1.25 \times  {10}^{6}  \: metres

olga_2 [115]

ANSWER:

D) centripetal acceleration.

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

When a body performs a uniform circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes at every instant. This variation is experienced by the linear vector, due to a force called centripetal, directed towards the center of the circumference that gives rise to the centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the answer is centripetal acceleration.

C. Newtons third law of motion

Because eventually, the frictional forces will slow you to a halt. Newton's Third Law of Motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. When they push off against the ice, or "stroke" with their skates, they are applying a force down and back against the ground.

Hope this helps!

In which of the following situations would convection currents most likely occur?
poizon [28]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is defined as a process in which a fluid (liquid or gas) is heated and the cooler liquid (more dense) settles or sinks at the bottom whereas a hotter material (less dense) will rises to the top.

For example, ice being less dense (cooler material) will float in a lake whereas liquid water being more dense will sink at the bottom.

Thus, we can conclude that situation in which convection currents most likely occur is within the water in a lake as ice forms on the top.

You are driving at the speed of 27.7 m/s (61.9764 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s
marta [7]

1) Acceleration of the car in front: -7.89 m/s^2

The only data we need for this part of the problem is:

u = 27.7 m/s --> initial velocity of the car

\mu=0.804 --> coefficient of friction between the car wheels and the road

From the coefficient of friction, we can find the deceleration of the car. In fact, the force of friction is given by

F=-\mu mg

where m is the car's mass and g=9.81 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity. We can find the car's acceleration by using Newton's second law:

a=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{-\mu mg}{m}=\mu g=(0.804)(9.81 m/s^2)=-7.89 m/s^2

And the negative sign means it is a deceleration.


2) Braking distance for the car in front: 48.6 m

This can be found by using the following SUVAT equation:

v^2 - u^2 = 2aS

where

v=0 is the final velocity of the car

u=27.7 m/s is the initial velocity of the car

a=-7.89 m/s^2 is the acceleration of the car

S is the braking distance

By re-arranging the formula, we find S:

S=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}=\frac{0-(27.7 m/s)^2}{2(-7.89 m/s^2)}=48.6 m


3) Minimum safe distance at which you can follow the car: 15.0 m

In this case, we must calculate the thinking distance, which is the distance you travel before hitting the brakes. During this time, the speed of your car is constant, so the thinking distance is given by

d_t = ut=(27.7 m/s)(0.543 s)=15.0 m

After hitting the brakes, your car decelerates at the same rate of the car in front of you, so the braking distance is the same of the other car:

d_b=48.6 m

So the total distance your car covers is

S'=d_t+d_b=15.0 m +48.6 m=63.6 m

At the same time, the car in front of you just covered a distance of 48.6 m. So, in order to avoid the collision, you should travel at a distance equal to

d=S'-S=63.6 m-48.6 m=15.0 m
