You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 49 m in front of you. You reaction time

before stepping on the brakes is 0.50 s, and the maximum deceleration of your car is 10m/s2.
a. How much distance is between you and the deer when you come to a stop?
b. What is the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer?

Answer:

v = 26.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

speed of the car = 20 m/s

distance between the car and the deer = 49 m

time taken to press the brake = 0.50 s

maximum deceleration of the car = 10 m/s²

Now,

distance travel by the car in 0.5 s = u x t = 20 x 0.5 = 10 m

distance travel by the car after the break is pressed

Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² = 20² - 2 x 10 x s

s = 20 m

Total distance travel by the car = 20 + 10 = 30 m

Distance between deer and car = 49-30 = 19 m.

b. Maximum speed a car could have

Distance travel by the car in reaction time = v' x 0.5

v' is the maximum speed of the car.

maximum distance car can cover = 49 - 0.5 v'

Now, Using equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 a s

0² =v'² - 2 x 10 x (49- 0.5 x v')

v'² +10 v' -980 = 0

By solving

v = 26.7 m/s

Hence, maximum speed of the car can be 26.7 m/s

In 2 1/2 hours an airplane travels 1150 km against the wind. It takes 50 min to travel 450 km with the wind. Find the speed of t
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Velocity of airplane is 500 km/h

Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Explanation:

V_a= Velocity of airplane in still air

V_w= Velocity of wind

Time taken by plane to travel 1150 km against the wind is 2.5 hours

V_a-V_w=\frac {1150}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=460\quad (1)

Time taken by plane to travel 450 km against the wind is 50 minutes = 50/60 hours

V_a+V_w=\frac {450}{50}\times 60\\\Rightarrow V_a-V_w=540\quad (2)

Subtracting the two equations we get

V_a-V_w-V_a-V_w=460-540\\\Rightarrow -2V_w=-80\\\Rightarrow V_w=40\ km/h

Applying the value of velocity of wind to the first equation

V_a-40=460\\\Rightarrow V_a =500\ km/h

∴ Velocity of airplane in still air is 500 km/h and Velocity of wind is 40 km/h

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of
steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0= Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

\theta= Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}

Using the Malus Law we have,

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2

\theta = 75.52\°

Angle with respect to maximum is 90-75.52 = 14.48\°
