An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train . When the engineer first

sees the car, the locomotive is 110 m from the crossing and its speed is 21 m/s . If the engineer's reaction time is 0.6 s, what should be the magnitude of the minimum de celeration to avoid an accident ? Answer in units of m/s^ 2

Answer:

Explanation:

distance traveled during reaction time

d = vt = 21(0.6) = 12.6 m

distance remaining 110 - 12.6 = 97.4 m

Assuming we want zero speed in 97.4 m using constant acceleration.

a = (0² - 21²) / 2(97.4) = - 2.2638603...

the negative value indicates acceleration opposes initial velocity.

magnitude is

a = 2.3 m/s²

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

the cheetah's amount of matter

the cheetah's speed

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is calculated according to the following equation

K.E = \frac{mv^{2} }{2}

where m represents the mass of the body in kilograms

and v represents the magnitude of the velocity which is know as speed of the body in m/s

Knowing this then, the scientist needs two things from that list:

the cheetah's amount of matter (also known as the mass)

the cheetah's speed

Explain how to determine the volume of an irregularly shaped object such as a rock
alexira [117]
If you have no way to accurately measure all of the object's bumps and dimples, then the only way to measure its volume is by means of fluid displacement. 

-- Put some water into a graduated (marked) container, read the amount of water, drop the object into the container, and read the new volume in the container.  The volume of the object is the difference between the two readings.

-- Alternatively, stand an unmarked container in a large pan, and fill it to the brim. Slowly slowly lower the object into the unmarked container, while the pan catches the water that overflows from it.  When the object is completely down in the container, carefully remove the container from the pan, and measure the volume of the water in the pan.  It's equal to the volume of the object.

Which of the following are transferred or shared when two atoms react chemically? *
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

One of the basic principles of chemistry is the electrostatic attraction between atoms or compounds. Electrons are on the outside of an atoms and that's where the charges come from and the interaction between those charges is what happens during a chemical bond. Therefore the answer would be electrons.
