Hi there!

We can begin by calculating the distance remaining after the reaction time.

Δd = vt

Calculate the distance traveled within this time:

Δd = (16)(.79) = 12.64 m

Subtract from the total distance:

150 - 12.64 = 137.66 m remaining

We can use the following equation to solve for the acceleration necessary:

vf² = vi² + 2ad, where vf = 0 since the train will have slowed down to rest.

Rearrange in terms of "a":

0 = vi² + 2ad

(-vi²) = 2ad

(-vi²)/2d = a

Plug in the given values:

(-(16²))/2(137.66) = a

-256/275.32 = -.9298 m/s²

As more resistors are added in series across a constant voltage source, the power supplied by the source: A) does not change. B)

Anon25 [30]

As series resistors are added, the resistance is added directly so the total resistance will be equal to

$R_T = R_1+R_2+R_3... R_{\infty}$

Since the power is determined as

$P = \frac{V^2}{R}$

We have there that

$P \propto \frac{1}{R}$

The power is inversely proportional to the increase in resistance, so it will tend to decrease as more resistors are added in series.

The correct answer is: C.

Two in-phase loudspeakers emit identical 1000 Hz sound waves along the x-axis. Part A What distance should one speaker be placed

Fiesta28 [93]

The distance a speaker should be placed behind other sound to have an amplitude 1.50 times is 4.523 m.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

The wavelength is the distance between the adjacent crest or trough of the sinusoidal wave. The wavelength is the reciprocal of the frequency of the wave.

Wavelength λ = v/f

Two in-phase loudspeakers emit identical 1000 Hz sound waves along the x-axis.

λ = 343 m/s /1000 Hz

λ = 0.343 m

Distance, one should speaker be placed behind the other for the sound to have an amplitude 1.50 times that of each speaker alone.

The amplitude of the waveform due to waves,

A = 2a cos (ΔΦ/2)

ΔΦ = 2π x Δx/λ

So, A = 2a cos (π x Δx/λ)

Substitute the values, we get

1.5a = 2a cos (3.14 x Δx/ 0.343)

Δx = 4.523 m

Thus, the distance is 4.523 m.

How to charge a laptop battery without a charger?

Likurg_2 [28]

I dont know if it right but <span>Use a universal power adapter. This is perhaps the most obvious solution to your battery woes. Readily found at most retail outlets that carry electronics, a universal power adapter can range anywhere in price from $30 to $100 or more. The adapter comes with multiple tips, one of which will likely fit your laptop’s charging port. When plugged in, the adapter will not only power your laptop, but will charge its battery as well.</span>
