When the engineer first sees the car, the locomotive is 100m from the crossing and its speed is 30m/s. If the engineer reaction time is 0.47 s what should the magnitude of the minimum deceleration to avoid an accident?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The deceleration must have the engineer to avoid the accident is

a=-5.238 (m)/(s^(2) )

Explanation:

x_(0)=100m\nv_(0)=30 (m)/(s) \nt=0.47 s

While the engineer reacts the train continue moving so

x_(f) = v*t= 30(m)/(s) *0.47s= 14.1 m

x_(t)=  x_(o)+x_(f)\nx_(t)=  100m-14.1m=85.9m

Now the final velocity have to be zero so using equation can find deceleration

V_(f) ^(2) =V_(o) ^(2)+2*a*x_(f)\n  0= V_(o) ^(2)+2*a*x_(f)\na=-(V_(o) )/(2*x_(f))\na=-((30(m)/(s)) ^(2) )/(2*85.9m) \na=-5.238 (m )/(s^(2) ) } \n

Why dog pants during summer use the cocept of evaporation

Every "warm-blooded" living thing needs a way to make heat and keep it
when its body is too cold inside, and a way to get rid of extra heat when
its body is too hot inside.

Moving around (using muscles) makes heat inside, and the animal needs
a way to get rid of the heat.  Fast.

Evaporation is a very effective way to get rid of heat.

Human animals do it by perspiring.  We excrete moisture through our skin,
and when the moisture evaporates, that takes heat away very efficiently.
That's why we like to fan ourselves when we're hot ... moving more air
past our skin makes moisture evaporate faster.

Dogs don't perspire, so they badly need another way to get rid of heat
in a hurry.

They do it through their mouth.  They put water in their mouth if it's available,
or else just collect a lot of saliva in there if there's no other water, and then
they blow air over it to evaporate it and get rid of heat.  Panting moves more
air over the moisture, which causes more evaporation and more heat loss.

QUESTIONS When parking uphill in a car with a manual transmission, you should park with the transmission in A: Neutral. B: Any gear. C: First gear.

Answers

Answer:

option C first gear

Explanation:

we know car is parking in uphill

so is we park park on neutral it will free move that is damage car

so we park car on uphill in first gear and turn wheel away from kerb

and park car on downhill in reverse gear and turn wheel toward kerb

so any gear may be reverse or first

so correct option is C first gear

A truck accelerates 2 m/s2 when it is empty. If the truck is filled so that it has twice the mass and the same amount of net force is applied, how much will the truck accelerate?8 m/s2
1 m/s2
4 m/s2
2 m/s2

Answers

Answer :

a = 1 m/s^2

Explanation:

Given information

Net force is a constant

The mass of the truck is m_(o)

Initial acceleration a_(o)= 2 m/s^(2)

The mass of the truck is increased twice as much

F_(net)= m_(o) a_(o) = ma

F_(net)= m_(o) a_(o) = 2m_(o)a

a=\frac{a_(o) } {2}

a = 2/2

a = 1 m/s^(2)

How could i design an experiment to test the speed of sound in different materials such as fabric, cardboard, steel, aluminum, plastic.

Answers

To design an experiment to test the speed of sound in different materials, you could use a speaker and a microphone to measure the time it takes for sound to travel through each material. First, you would need to set up the speaker and microphone on opposite sides of each material and measure the distance between them. Then, you would play a sound from the speaker and measure the time it takes for the sound to reach the microphone. You could repeat this process for each material and use the data to calculate the speed of sound in each material. Additionally, you could compare your results to the known speed of sound in air (343 m/s) to see how the materials affect the speed of sound.
