Answer: a) 95.07m b) 81.88 m

Explanation:

a)

For finding the distance when vehicle is going downhill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1  + \frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31-0.03)}

Stop sight distance= 95.07 m

b)

For finding the distance when vehicle is going uphill we have the formula as:

Stop sight distance= Velocity*Reaction time + Velocity² / 2*g*(f constant- Grade value)

Now by AASHTO, we have for v= 45 mph= 72.4 kph, f= 0.31

Reaction time= 0.28

So putting values we get

Stop sight distance= 0.28*72.4 *1  + \frac{(0.28*72.4)^{2} }{2*9.81*(0.31+0.03)}

Stop sight distance= 81.88 m

A shot-putter exerts a force of 0.142 kN on a shot, accelerating it to 22.75 m/s2. What is the mass of the shot?
Svetach [21]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Force and Power.

Since, according to the Newton's law,

Force = mass * Acceleration.

hence, here

Force = 142 N, accelration = 22.75 m/s2

hence, mass = 142/22.75

===> Mass = 6.24 Kg

hence the mass of the shot is 6.24 Kg

A visitor to the observation deck of a skyscraper manages to drop a penny over the edge. As the penny falls faster, the force du
pentagon [3]
If a coin is dropped at a relatively low altitude, it's acceleration remains constant. However, if the coin is dropped at a very high altitude, air resistance will have a significant effect. The initial acceleration of the coin will be the greatest. As it falls down, air resistance will counteract the weight of the coin. So, the acceleration will decrease. Although the acceleration decreases, the coin still accelerates, that is why it falls faster. When the air resistance fully counters the weight of the coin, the acceleration will become zero and the coin will fall at a constant speed (terminal velocity). So, the answer should be, The acceleration decreases until it reaches 0. The closest answer is.
a. The acceleration decreases.

A student states that 203.9 g of table sugar will form a saturated solution in 100 g of water.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

The temperature and the solubility of sugar at that temperature

Explanation:

The amount of substance which can be dissolved in the solvent depends on the temperature.

As the temperature increases, more substance can be dissolved.

A solution is  saturated if any more of the solute cannot be dissolved in the solution at the given temperature

Hence we need to know the temperature  and also the amount of substance which can be dissolved(solubility) at the same temperature

a) the statement given in option A is correct

b) molar mass has no correlation with the substance's solubility and hence option b is not correct

c) The percent by volume of the solution is not needed to find if the solution is saturated and hence option c is not correct

Whipple is confused about the connection between the velocity and acceleration of the tennis ball. he decides to compare the vel
tamaranim1 [39]

The speed of the ball is always zero and the acceleration is always -g when it reaches the top of its motion. This is because when the ball is free, only gravity acts on it which is always downwards, hence g is the net acceleration and it is always negative. However the velocity does not direction change instantly, negative acceleration first slows down the ball with a positive velocity, until that point the ball keeps moving up, then the ball velocity becomes zero just before changing direction and becoming negative after which the ball will now go down along gravity. Hence the ball velocity is zero at the top (neither going up nor down). Mathematically this can be seen as velocity is the integration of acceleration.
