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

mezya [45]
We actually don't need to know how far he/she is standing from the net, as we know that the ball reaches its maximum height (vertex) at the net. At the vertex, it's vertical velocity is 0, since it has stopped moving up and is about to come back down, and its displacement is 0.33m. So we use v² = u² + 2as (neat trick I discovered just then for typing the squared sign: hold down alt and type 0178 on ur numpad wtih numlock on!!!) ANYWAY....... We apply v² = u² + 2as in the y direction only. Ignore x direction. 
IN Y DIRECTION: v² = u² + 2as 0 = u² - 2gh u = √(2gh) (Sub in values at the very end) 
So that will be the velocity in the y direction only. But we're given the angle at which the ball is hit (3° to the horizontal). So to find the velocity (sum of the velocity in x and y direction on impact) we can use: sin 3° = opposite/hypotenuse = (velocity in y direction only) / (velocity) So rearranging, velocity = (velocity in y direction only) / sin 3° = √(2gh)/sin 3° = (√(2 x 9.8 x 0.33)) / sin 3° = 49 m/s at 3° to the horizontal (2 sig figs)

sergeinik [125]
<h2>For Second Solid Lumped System is Applicabe</h2>

Explanation:

Considering heat transfer between two identical hot solid bodies and their environments -

  • If the first solid is dropped in a large container filled with water, while the second one is allowed to cool naturally in the air than for second solid, the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable
  • The  reason is that a lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable in the air than in water as the convection heat transfer coefficient so that the Biot number is less than or equal to 0.1 that is much smaller in air

Biot number = the ratio of conduction resistance within the body to convection resistance at the surface of the body

∴ For a lumped system analysis Biot number should be less than 0.1

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

4.32\cdot 10^5 hp, 3.22\cdot 10^8 W

Explanation:

The jet is flying at constant velocity: this means that its acceleration is zero, so the net force acting on the jet is also zero.

Therefore, we can write:

4F_T - F_d = 0

where

F_T = 322,000 N is the thrust force generated by each engine of the jet

F_d is the drag force

Solving for Fd,

F_d = 4 F_T = 4(322,000)=1.288\cdot 10^6 N

The velocity of the jet is

v=250 m/s

So, the rate at which the drag force does work (which is the power) is

P=F_d v

and substituting

F_d = 1.288\cdot 10^6 N\\v = 250 m/s

we find

P=(1.288\cdot 10^6)(250)=3.22\cdot 10^8 W

Converting into horsepower,

P=\frac{3.22\cdot 10^8}{746}=4.32\cdot 10^5 hp

HELPPP<br> why is the united states considered energy rich, while japan is considered energy poor
Temka [501]

Answer:

Energy resources can be measured.  They will include the fossil fuels, geothermal and hydroelectric potential, and increasingly the renewable resources.  When the US list is compared to the World it is considered energy Rich.  When Japan's list is compared to the world standard it considered energy poor.  

A changing technology like nuclear fusion could substantially change the assessment.

Japan does not have any substantial, oil, coal, gas, deposits, while the US does.
