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

Suppose a distant world with surface gravity of 5.20 m/s2 has an atmospheric pressure of 7.16 ✕ 104 Pa at the surface. (a) What
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

899752.13598 N

Explanation:

p = Pressure on the plate = 7.16\times 10^4\ Pa

A = Area = \pi r^2=\pi 2^2=\pi 4

F = Force on the region

When force is divided by area we get pressure

p=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow F=p\times A\\\Rightarrow F=7.16\times 10^4\times \pi 4\\\Rightarrow F=899752.13598\ N

Force is exerted by the atmosphere on a disk-shaped region is 899752.13598 N

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot
kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

A measurement of density (mass/volume) is performed by measuring the mass of a sample of a rough cubic piece of metal on a balan
koban [17]

Answer:

Random errorrs

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong

Explanation:

Previous concepts

Random error represent an statistical error associated to the effect random in the experiment.

Systematic error is a "repeatable error associated with faulty equipment or a flawed experiment design", so is an error non controlled.

Solution to the problem

So as we can see we have two possible types of errors : random and systematic errors. For this stuation the list of 3 errors required are:

Random errors

1) Variations in the level of the eye when we measure the dimensions of the cubic piece using the metric rule.

2) Possible vibrations or disbalance when we measure the mass of the of the cylinder.

Systematic errors

3) Wrong calibration for the balance and that represent a measurement wrong

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

the same time

Explanation:

since the speed of light is very fast (3×10^8 ms^-1) the difference in time arrived from firecrackers A and B to Bob is negligible, and our brain can distinguish such small time difference,l.
