A car is being driven along a road at 25m/s when the driver suddenly notices that there is a fallen tree blocking the road 65m a

head. The driver immediately applies the brakes giving the car a constant velocity of 5m/s2. How far in front of the tree does the car come to rest?

Hi there!

We can use the following equation to solve for displacement:

vf² = vi² + 2ad, where:

vf = final velocity

vi = initial velocity

a = acceleration

d = displacement

Since the car will come to rest, vf = 0, so:

0 = vi² + 2ad

Plug in the given values:

0 = 25² + 2(-5)d (Breaking is a negative acceleration in this instance)

Solve:

0 = 25² - 10d

10d = 625

d = 62.5m

Subtract from the total distance from the car to the tree:

65 - 62.5 = 2.5m

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

d) 1000 times

Explanation:

As we know that difference of sound level is given as

L_2 - L_1 = 10 Log \frac{I_2}{I_1}

so here we need to find the ratio of two intensity

it is given as

Log\frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{(L_2- L_1)}{10}

Log\frac{I_2}{I_1} = \frac{60 - 30}{10}

Log\frac{I_2}{I_1} = 3

now we have

\frac{I_2}{I_1} = 10^3

so it is

d) 1000 times

A student measured the mass of ice in a glass container with a tight lid. He allowed the ice to melt, and then found the mass of
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The liquid formed from a melted solid has the same mass as the solid has.

Explanation:

As long as no water can escape, the mass of the ice before melting must equal the mass of the liquid water after.

The distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

<h3>LINEAR MOTION</h3>

A straight line movement is known as linear motion

Given that Ann is driving down a street at 15 m/s. Suddenly a child runs into the street. It takes Ann 0.75 seconds to react and apply the brakes.

To know how many meters will she have moved before she begins to slow down, we need to first list all the given parameters.

  • speed = 15 m/s
  • time t = 0.75 s

From definition of speed,

speed = distance / time

Make distance the subject of the formula

distance = speed x time

distance = 15 x 0.75

distance = 11.25m

Therefore, the distance in meters she would have moved before she begins to slow down is 11.25 m

Explain what nuclear fusion is in the role it plays in Stars. DO NOT LOOK UP ANSWERS​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

Stars are powered by nuclear fusion in their cores, mostly converting hydrogen into helium. The production of new elements via nuclear reactions is called nucleosynthesis. A star's mass determines what other type of nucleosynthesis occurs in its core (or during explosive changes in its life cycle).

1. A soccer ball is kicked horizontally off a cliff with an initial speed of 8 m/s and lands 16 m from the base of
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity = 8 m/s

Distance s = 16 m

Starting acceleration (a) = 0

Computation:

s = ut + 1/2a(t)²

16 = 8t

t = 2 sec

Height of cliff = S

Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s

S = 1/2a(t)²

S = 1/2(10)(2)²

Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
