Answer: 49.92 m

Explanation:

In this situation the following equation will be useful:

V^{2}=V_{o}^{2} +2 a d

Where:

V=0 m/s is the final velocity of the car, when it finally stops

V_{o}=91 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1 h}{3600 s}=25.27 m/s is the initial velocity of the car

a=-6.4 m/s^{2} is the constant acceleration of the car after the driver slams on the brakes

d is the stopping distance

Isolating d:

d=\frac{-V_{o}^{2}}{2a}

d=\frac{-(25.27 m/s)^{2}}{2(-6.4 m/s^{2})}

d=41.919 m \approx 41.92 m

A fan is to accelerate quiescent air to a velocity of 12.5 m/s at a rate of 9 m3/s. Determine the minimum power that must be sup
Reika [66]

Answer:

= 829.69 Watt

≅ 830 Watt

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of air flow = 12.5m/s

Rate of flow of air = 9m³/s

Density of air = 1.18kg/m³

power by kinetic energy = 1/2(mv²)

mass = density × volume

m = 1.18 × 9

  = 10.62 kg/s

power = 1/2 mV²

           = 1/2 (10.62 × 12.5²)

           = 829.69 Watt

After an eye examination, you put some eyedrops on your sensitive eyes. The cornea (the front part of the eye) has an index of r
mina [271]

Answer:

t = 103.45 n m

Explanation:

given,

refractive index of cornea = 1.38

refractive index of eye drop = 1.45

wavelength of refractive index = 600 nm

refractive index of eye drop is greater than refractive index of cornea and the air.

Formula used in this case

for constructive interference

2 n t = (m + \dfrac{1}{2})\lambda

At m = 0 for the minimum thickness, so

2\times 1.45 \times t = (0 + 0.5)\times 600

2.9 \times t =300

t =\dfrac{300}{2.9}

t = 103.45 n m

the minimum thickness of the film of eyedrops t = 103.45 n m

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wheel completes four revolution.

The linear displacement is zero.

The angular displacement is 4 x 2π = 8π radian.

So, option (c) is correct.

Suggest reasons why poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to the biodiversity of an area than poaching for prof
dlinn [17]
An example for ruining a biodiversity is fishing. The two factors that have contributed to increased fishing in deep ocean waters in recent years are the human population growth and decreased fishing opportunities inshore. Increase population growth increases the demand for food which also leads to increase in fish demand. Because the fish demand is high, inshore fishing opportunities decrease that is why deep ocean waters is the new venue for fishing. This may sound absurd but poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to he biodiversity <span>of an area than poaching for profit. Because the people do not care anymore to the biodiversity that they interrupted just to get back more profit. They do not care what must be taken from it like getting bigger fishes and leaving the smaller ones behind to maintain productivity.</span>

Two cars start 200 m apart and drive toward each other at a steady 10 m/s. On the front of one of them, an energetic grasshopper
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Total distance does the grasshopper travel before the cars hit is 150 m

Explanation:

Each car moves x=100 m before they collide. Both the cars moving in constant velocity. time taken t by each car is

t=\frac{x}{v}

where x  is the distance traveled with velocity v

t=\frac{100}{10}\\t=10 sec

The insect is moving through this time period with a constant velocity of 15 m/s

The distance traveled by grasshopper  is

distance=V_{gh} \times t\\distance=15 \times 10\\distance=150 m
