When you are driving on the freeway and following the car in front of you, how close is too close? Let's do an estimation.
1. Pick a car model (preferably the one you drive, but can also be any car of your dream), and find its stopping distance at highway speeds (you can usually find this type of data online).
2. Assuming that the car in front of you suddenly does a hard brake. For simplicity, assume that its braking performance is about the same as yours. Then also assume a reasonable amount of reaction time on your part (the time delay between seeing the brake lights lit up and applying your own brake). In order for you not to run into the car your are following, what's the closest distance you need to keep between the two cars?
3. Redo the same calculation if the vehicle in front of you is a typical big-rig truck. Find its braking data online.
4. There is a rule of thumb which says that you must stay one car length behind the car in front of you for every 10 mi/h of driving speed. From your calculation, does this rule make sense?

Answer 1

Answer:

1) v= 90km/h  d = 70 m,  2)  x₁ = v t_r,  x₁ = 6.25 m, 3) x₁=6.25 no change

4) x = 22 m

Explanation:

1) for the first part, you are asked to find the minimum safety distance with the vehicle in front

The internet is searched for the stopping distance for two typical speeds on the highway

v (km/ h)      v (m/s)      d (m)

90                  25           70

100                 27.78      84

the safe distance is this distance plus the distance traveled during the person's reaction time, which can be calculated with infirm movement

              v = x / t_r

               x₁ = v t_r

the average reaction time is t_r = 0.25s for a visual stimulus and t_r 0.17 for an auditory stimulus

therefore the safe distance is

              x_total = x₁ + d

2) The distance is the sum of the distance traveled in the reaction

              x₁ = v t_r

for v = 90 km / h

              x₁ = 25 0.25

              x₁ = 6.25 m

for v = 100 km / h

              x₁ = 27.78 0.25

              x₁ = 6.95 m

the total distance is

               x_total = x₁ + d

for v = 90 km / h

             x_total = 25 0.25 + 70

             x_total = 76.25 m

this is the distance until the cars stop and do not collide

3) the stopping distance of a truck is

   v = 90 km / h       d = 100 m

in this case we see that the braking distance is much higher,

the safe distance is given by the distance traveled during the reaction, as the truck brakes slower than the car this distance does not change

4) let's analyze the empirical rule: maintain the length of a car for each increase in speed of v = 10 m / h = 4.47 m / s

for the car case at v = 90km / h = 25 m / s

according to this rule we must this to

           x = 25 / 4.47 = 5.6 cars

each modern car is about 4 m long so the distance is

           x = 22 m

we see that this distance is much greater than the reaction  distance so it does not make much sense

An open pipe is 1.42 m long
What fundamental frequency
does it produce?
(Speed of sound = 343 m/s)
(Unit = Hz)

Answers

Answer:

the fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is 120.78 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the open pipe, L = 1.42 m

speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

The length of the open pipe for the fundamental frequency is equivalent to half of wavelength;

[tex]L = \frac{\lambda}{2} \\\\\lambda = 2L[/tex]

The fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is calculated as;

[tex]f_o = \frac{v}{\lambda} \\\\f_o = \frac{v}{2L} \\\\f_o = \frac{343}{2 \times 1.42} \\\\f_o = 120.78 \ Hz[/tex]

Therefore, the fundamental frequency produced by the open pipe is 120.78 Hz

To determine the coefficient of static friction between two materials, an engineer places a small sample of one material on a horizontal disk whose surface is made of the other material and then rotates the disk from rest with a constant angular acceleration of 0.4 rad/s2. If she determines that the small sample slips on the disk after 9.903 s, what is the coefficient of friction

Answers

This question is incomplete, the missing image is uploaded along this answer.

Answer:

the coefficient of friction is 0.32

Explanation:

 Given the data in the question;

we make use of kinematic equation of motion;

ω = ω₀ + ∝t

we substitute

ω = ( 0 rad/s ) + ( 0.4 rad/s² )( 9.903 s )

ω = 3.9612 rad/s

The centripetal force acting on the sample is;

Fc = mrω²

from the image; r = 200 mm = 0.2 m

so we substitute

Fc = m(0.2 m ) ( 3.9612 rad/s )²

Fc = (3.13822 m/s²)m

we know that the frictional force between the two materials should be providing the necessary centripetal force to rotate the sample object;

f = Fc

μN = Fc

μmg = (3.13822 m/s²)m

μ = (3.13822 m/s²)m / mg

μ = (3.13822 m/s²) / g

acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s²

so

μ = (3.13822 m/s²) / 9.8 m/s²

μ = 0.32

Therefore, the coefficient of friction is 0.32

Consider a large truck carrying a heavy load, such as steel beams. A significant hazard for the driver is that the load may slide forward, crushing the cab, if the truck stops suddenly in an accident or even in braking. Assume, for example, that a 10 000-kg load sits on the flatbed of a 20 000-kg truck moving at 12.0 m/s. Assume that the load is not tied down to the truck, but has a coefficient of friction of 0.500 with the flatbed of the truck.
A) Calculate the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.
B) Is any piece of data unnecessary for the solution?
a) mass of the load.
b) mass of the truck.
c) velocity.
d) coefficient of static friction.
e) all are necessary.

Answers

Answer:

A)

the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B)

data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that;

mass of load [tex]m_{LS}[/tex] = 10000 kg

mass of flat bed [tex]m_{FB}[/tex] = 20000 kg

initial speed of truck [tex]v_{0}[/tex] = 12 m/s

coefficient of friction between the load sits and flat bed μs = 0.5

A) the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck.

Now, using the expression

Fs,max = μs [tex]F_{N}[/tex]     -------------let this be equation 1

where [tex]F_{N}[/tex] = normal force = mg

so

Fs,max = μs mg

ma[tex]_{max}[/tex] = μs mg

divide through by mass

a[tex]_{max}[/tex] = μs g    ---------- let this be equation 2

in equation 2, we substitute in our values

a[tex]_{max}[/tex] = 0.5 × 9.8 m/s²

a[tex]_{max}[/tex] = 4.9 m/s²

now, from the third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2as

[tex]v_{f}[/tex]² = [tex]v_{0}[/tex]² + 2aΔx

where [tex]v_{f}[/tex] is final velocity ( 0 m/s )

a is acceleration( - 4.9 m/s² )

so we substitute

(0)² = (12 m/s)² + 2(- 4.9 m/s² )Δx

0 = 144 m²/s² - 9.8 m/s²Δx

9.8 m/s²Δx = 144 m²/s²

Δx = 144 m²/s² /  9.8 m/s²

Δx = 14 m

Therefore, the minimum stopping distance for which the load will not slide forward relative to the truck is 14 m

B) data that were not necessary to the solution are;

a) mass of truck and b) mass of load

Explanation:

Given that an enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm to take some readings while you stay dry at home. While Clark is at the center of the storm, he sees and hears lightning strike a tree that is 190 m from where he is standing. You are 140 km from the tree. How long does it take for the sound to reach Clark

Solution.

The distance between the Clark and you will be:

Distance = 140km - 190m

Distance = 140000 - 190

Distance = 139810 m

The radius of the earth is also considered but it will surely be insignificant as you subtracted the two distance values.

Using the formula

Speed = distance/time

Where

The speed of sound = 343 m/s

343 = 139810 / t

Make time the subject of formula

t = 139810 / 343

t = 407.61 s

Therefore, it will take 407.61 seconds for the sound to reach Clark

after the collision is equal to.......
A)1/4vi b)1/2vi c)vi d) 2vi

Answers

Answer: Option b, the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Explanation:

Here we will use the conservation of the total momentum of a system.

This means that the total momentum at the beginning must be the same as the final momentum.

Where momentum is:

P = M*v

Initially, we have two cars, both with the same mass M, and only one of them has a velocity v.

Then the initial momentum is:

P = M*v + M*0 = M*v

After the collision, the two cars move together. Then the total mass that is moving is equal to the sum of the masses of the cars, this is 2*M

and we can suppose that the two cars move at a final velocity v'

Then the final momentum is:

P' = (2*M)*v'

Now we use the conservation of momentum, then:

P = P'

M*v = (2*M)*v'

Now we need to solve this for v'

(M*v)/(2*M) = v'

v/2 = v'

This means that the final velocity is half of the initial velocity.

Then the correct option is option b.

As a sports car travels along a level stretch of road with constant speed, most of the power developed by the engine is used to compensate for the energy transformations due to friction forces exerted on the sports car by the air and the road. If the power developed by the engine is 0.824 hp, calculate the total friction force acting on the sports car (in N) when it is moving at a speed of 30 m/s. One horsepower equals 746 W.

Answers

Answer:

20.49 N

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Power (P) = 0.824 hp

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

1 h = 746 W

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall convert 0.824 hp to Watts (W). This can be obtained as follow:

1 h = 746 W

Therefore,

0.824 hp = 0.824 hp × 746 W / 1 h

0.824 hp = 614.704 W

Finally, we shall determine the force as follow:

Power (P) = 614.704 W

Velocity (v) = 30 m/s

Force (F) =?

P = F × v

614.704 = F × 30

Divide both side by 30

F = 614.704 / 30

F = 20.49 N

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric field is 5648.67 N/C

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Suppose electric field at this point is;

E = Exi + Eyj + Ezk

Now, electric field is given by;

E = -dV/dr

so,

Ex = -d( 4.30xyz² )/dx = -4.30yz²

Ey = -d( 4.30xyz² )/dy = -4.30xz²

Ez = -d( 4.30xyz² )/dz = -8.60xyz

so

E = -4.30yz² i  - 4.30xz² j - 8.60xyz k

now, at the point (8.70i - 9.10j + 7.20k )  

E = (-4.30(-9.10)(7.20)²) i  + (-4.30(8.70)(7.20)²) j + (-8.60(8.70)(-9.10)(7.20) k

E =  2028.499 i - 1939.334 j + 4902.206 k

so, Magnitude of electric field will be;

|E| = √( Ex² +  Ey² + Ez² )

we substitute

|E| = √( (2028.499)² +  (-1939.334)² + (4902.206)² )

|E| = √( 31907448.222993 )

|E| = 5648.67 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field is 5648.67 N/C

using kinetic equation

Distance = 1/2×at²

where a is acceleration and t is the time period

now lets consider that initial velocity is zero (0)

Here;

1 m = 1/2 × a × ( 10 s )²

1 m = a × 50 s²

a = 1 m / 50 s²

a = 0.02 m/s²

so, from equation 3

ma = Eq

E = ma / q

we substitute

E = (1 × 10⁻⁹ kg × 0.02) / 10⁻¹² Coulomb

E = 2 × 10⁻¹¹ / 10⁻¹²

E = 20 N/C

Therefore, the magnitude of the electric field intensity is 20 N/C

Why might video games increase creativity while the use of cell phones, the internet, or computers do not?

Answers

Explanation:

Video games are developed around a structure that is unique from your usual media, where there is a sense purpose in mind when playing a game, as decided by the player, and it allows them to explore creative options in order to solve scenarios, depending on the genre. In the use of phones, internet, or computers, this structure is more rare and diverse from video games, which does not lean more toward a creative purpose to build from. That idea gives people the inspiration and discover skills they never knew they even had.

The half-life of radium-226 is 1590 years. (a) A sample of radium-226 has a mass of 100 mg. Find a formula for the mass of the sample that remains after t years. (b) Find the mass after 1000 years correct to the nearest milligram. (c) When will the mass be reduced to 40 mg? SOLUTION (a) Let m(t) be the mass of radium-226 (in milligrams) that remains after t years. Then dm/dt = km and m(0) = 100, so this theorem gives m(t) = m(0)ekt = ekt. In order to determine the value of k, we use the fact that m(1590) = 1 2 . Thus e1590k = so e1590k = and 1590k = ln 1 2 = − ln(2) k = . Therefore m(t) = . We could use the fact that eln(2) = 2 to write the expression for m(t) in the alternative form m(t) = . (b) The mass after 1000 years is as follows. (Round your final answer to the nearest milligram.) m(1000) = ≈ mg

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Formula for the mass of the sample that remains after t years = N= Noe^-kt

Where;

N = mass at time t years

No = mass at time t= 0

k = decay constant

t = time taken

So,

N = 100e^-kt

b) First,

t1/2 = -ln(1/2)/k

t1/2 = 0.693/k

t1/2 = half life of radium-226 =1590 years

1590 = 0.693/k

k = 0.693/1590

k = 4.36 * 10^-4

So,

N= 100e^-(4.36 * 10^-4 * 1000)

N= 65 mg

c) From

N = 100e^-kt

40 = 100e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

40/100 = e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

0.4 = e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

ln(0.4) = ln(e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t))

-0.9163 = -4.36 * 10^-4t

t = 0.9163/4.36 * 10^-4

t = 2102 years

Which one of the following statements concerning the buoyant force on an object submerged in a liquid is true?
A) The buoyant force depends on the mass of the object.
B) The buoyant force depends on the weight of the objeet.
C) The buoyant force is independent of the density of the liquid.
D) The buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced.
E) The buoyant force will increase with depth if the liquid is incompressible.

Answers

Answer:

D) The buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced.

Explanation:

Buoyancy can be defined as an upward force which is created by the water displaced by an object.

According to Archimede's principle, it is directly proportional to the amount (weight) of water that is being displaced by an object.

Thus, the greater the amount of water an object displaces; the greater is the force of buoyancy pushing the object up.

The buoyancy of an object is given by the formula;

[tex] Fb = pgV [/tex]

[tex] But, \; V = Ah [/tex]

[tex] Hence, \; Fb = pgAh [/tex]

Where;

Fb = buoyant force of a liquid acting on an object.g = acceleration due to gravity. p = density of the liquid.v = volume of the liquid displaced. h = height of liquid (water) displaced by an object. A = surface area of the floating object.

The unit of measurement for buoyancy is Newton (N).

Additionally, the density of a fluid is directly proportional to the buoyant force acting on it i.e as the density of a liquid decreases, buoyancy decreases and vice-versa.

Hence, the statement concerning the buoyant force on an object submerged in a liquid which is true is that the buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced.

If an object is completely submerged, the volume of the object is equal to the volume of liquid displaced.
