A typical automobile under hard braking loses speed at a rate of about 7.2 m/s2; the typical reaction time to engage the brakes

is 0.55 s. A local school board sets the speed limit in a school zone such that all cars should be able to stop in 3.6 m. What maximum speed does this imply for a car in the school zone?

Answer:

4.3 m/s

Explanation:

a = rate at which the automobile loses speed = - 7.2 m/s²

v₀ = initial maximum speed of automobile

t' = reaction time for applying the brakes = 0.55 s

d = distance available for stopping the vehicle = 3.6 m

d' = distance traveled while applying the brakes = v₀ t' = (0.55) v₀

v = final speed after the vehicle comes to stop = 0 m/s

Using the equation

v² = v₀² + 2 a (d - d' )

0² =  v₀² + 2 (- 7.2) (3.6 -  (0.55) v₀)

v₀ = 4.3 m/s

A rigid, 2.50 L bottle contains 0.458 mol He. The pressure of the gas inside the bottle is 1.83 atm. If 0.713 mol Ar is added to
stellarik [79]
<span>These are inert gases, so we can assume they don't react with one another. Because the two gases are also subject to all the same conditions, we can pretend there's only "one" gas, of which we have 0.458+0.713=1.171 moles total. Now we can use PV=nRT to solve for what we want.

The initial temperature and the change in temperature. You can find the initial temperature easily using PV=nRT and the information provided in the question (before Ar is added) and solving for T.

You can use PV=nRT again after Ar is added to solve for T, which will give you the final temperature. The difference between the initial and final temperatures is the change. When you're solving just be careful with the units!
 
SIDE NOTE: If you want to solve for change in temperature right away, you can do it in one step. Rearrange both PV=nRT equations to solve for T, then subtract the first (initial, i) from the second (final, f):

PiVi=niRTi --> Ti=(PiVi)/(niR)
 
PfVf=nfRTf --> Tf=(PfVf)/(nfR)

ΔT=Tf-Ti=(PfVf)/(nfR)-(PiVi)/(niR)=(V/R)(Pf/nf-Pi/ni)

In that last step I just made it easier by factoring out the V/R since V and R are the same for the initial and final conditions.</span>

The speed of sound in seawater is 1470 m/s. A dolphin sends out a click that reflects off of an
Nitella [24]

Answer: 0.204 s

Explanation:

The speed of sound V is defined as the distance traveled d in a especific time t:  

V=\frac{d}{t}  

Where:  

V=1470 m/s is the speed of sound  in seawater

t is the time the sound wave travels from the dolphin and then returns after the reflection

d=2(150 m) is twice the distance between the dolphin and the object to which the sound waves are reflected

Finding t:

t=\frac{d}{V}  

t=\frac{2(150 m)}{1470 m/s}

<u>Finally:</u>

t=0.204 s

frez [133]

Answer:

<em>The Answer is both B and C, </em><em>since it has same options from the question given. Gear, slow her vehicle in a lower</em>

Explanation:

<em>The use of a lower gear in a vehicle helps a person to control their speed limits, when approaching a hill. it also saves the brakes too, using the brakes down a hill can overheat the gear and causes brake failures</em>

<em>By changing in into a lower gear and also letting the engine to do the brake work in a vehicle, the engine will absorb a force and slow the vehicle down, but in most cases brakes can be applied but with lesser pressure.</em>

<em>In this case Stella need to slow down by applying her lower gear down a hill to avoid accidents on the road, by controlling her speed limits and  for safety precaution</em>

molecular cloud <interstellar cloud <1 Msun protostar <1 Msun star <intercloud gas

Explanation:

<u>Molecular cloud-</u> They are a variety of interstellar cloud in which molecular hydrogen can sustain themselves. They have a very low temperature ranging from -440 to -370 degrees Fahrenheit or between<u> 10 to 50 Kelvin. </u>Owing to their extremely low temperature, they appear mostly dark when viewed through telescopes.

<u>Interstellar cloud-</u> They are a congregation of a large number of interstellar gases, dust and plasma in any galaxy or universe. They have varying temperature depending on their proximity to a star. E.g. Neutral hydrogen atom clouds have a temperature of around <u>just 100 Kelvin</u> while those in the near vicinity of a star have temperatures as high as 10,000 Kelvin.

<u>1 Msun star-</u> These stars have temperature anywhere between <u>5300 and 6000 Kelvin</u>. The main source of such high surface temperature is nuclear fusion process where elemental hydrogen molecules are fused to form helium molecules.  

<u>1 Msun protostar-</u> protostar is rather a young star which is still in formation phase (i.e. gathering mass from the parent molecular cloud). They have temperature anywhere between <u>2000-3000</u> kelvin and are accompanied by dust usually.

<u>Intercloud gas- </u>These are the remainder gases that are spread throughout the interstellar space. This Intercloud gas is divided into warm intercloud medium and extremely hot coronal gas with temperatures comparing to Sun’s corona. Warm intercloud forms the dominant part of intercloud gas with a temperature around <u>8000 Kelvin</u>.
