A car is traveling at 120 km/h (75 mph). When applied the braking system can stop the car with a deceleration rate of 9.0 m/s2.

The typical reaction time for an alert driver is 0.8 s versus 3 s for a sleepy driver. Assuming a typical car length of 5 m, calculate the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver. Group of answer choices

Answer:

the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

Explanation:

Given that;

speed of car V = 120 km/h = 33.3333 m/s

Reaction time of an alert driver = 0.8 sec

Reaction time of an alert driver = 3 sec

extra time taken by sleepy driver over an alert driver = 3 - 0.8 = 2.2 sec

now, extra distance that car will travel in case of sleepy driver will be'

S_d = V × 2.2 sec

S_d = 33.3333 m/s × 2.2 sec

S_d = 73.3333 m

hence, number of car of additional car length n will be;

n = S_n / car length

n = 73.3333 m / 5m

n = 14.666 ≈ 15

Therefore, the number of additional car lengths approximately it takes the sleepy driver to stop compared to the alert driver is 15

The temperature of the liquid in a container decreases as the liquid evaporates. Use kinetic theory to explain why.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

Temperature decreases because the number of collision of the molecules decreases as they escape or evaporate. Molecules are in constant motion. Increase in temperature leads to increase in average kinetic energy of the molecules.

How many slices of bread did each climber have to eat to compensate for the increase of the gravitational potential energy of th

N76 [4]

Answer:

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Explanation:

Energy released by one slice = E1

$E1=10^6\ J$

h = 8850 m ; m = 79 kg ,η= 10.5%

We know that potential energy given as

u = m g h

u = 79 x 9.81 x 8850

$u=6.8\times 10^6\ J$

we know from the defination of efficiency that, η= E(out)/E(in)

Now amount of PE has to be compensated, In our case, E(out) =u

$0.105=\dfrac{E(out)}{E(in)}$

$0.105=\dfrac{6.8\times 10^6}{E(in)}$

$E(in)=64.76\times 10^6\ J$

Let n be the number of bread slices to be consumed.

n = E(in)/E1

$n=\dfrac{64.76\times 10^6}{10^6}$

n=64.76

So No of slices to be consumed by each person = n = 65

Water is contained in a closed, rigid 0.2 m 3 tank at an initial pressure of 5 bar and a quality of 50%. Heat transfer occurs un

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Final mass=0.89kg

Final pressure=5.6bar

Explanation:

To find mass,m=v/v1

But v1=vf + x(vg-vf)

Vf= 0.001093m^3/kg

Vg= 0.3748m^3/kg

V1= 0.001093+0.5(0.3748-0.001093)

V1= 0.225m^3/kg

M= 0.20/0.225 =0.89kg

Final pressure will be:

V/V1= P/P1

Cross multiply

VP1=V1P

P1= 0.225×5/0.2

P1=:5.6 bar
