Determine the stopping distances for an automobile going a constant initial speed of 95 km/h and human reaction time of 0.50 s. for an acceleration a = -3.1 m/s^2 determine the stopping distances fo an automobile going a constant intial speed of 95 km/h and human reaction time of 0.50 s. for an acceleration a = -6.1 m/s^2.

(a) for acceleration a = - 3.1 m/s^2 the stopping distance is 125.43 m.

(b)  for acceleration a = - 3.1 m/s^2 the stopping distance is 70.23 m.

Explanation:

reaction time , t = 0.5 s, u = 95 km/h = 95 x 5 / 18 = 26.38 m/s

(a) a = - 3.1 m/s^2

Let the stopping distance is s.

The distance traveled by the automobile in reaction time t is

s1 = u x t = 26.38 x 0.5 = 13.19 m

The distance traveled before stopping be s2.

v^2 = u^2 - 2 a s2

0 = 26.38^2 - 2 x 3.1 x s2

s2 = 112.24 m

Total stopping distance, s = s1 + s2 = 13.19 + 112.24 = 125.43 m

(b) a = - 6.1 m/s^2

Let the stopping distance is s.

The distance traveled by the automobile in reaction time t is

s1 = u x t = 26.38 x 0.5 = 13.19 m

The distance traveled before stopping be s2.

v^2 = u^2 - 2 a s2

0 = 26.38^2 - 2 x 6.1 x s2

s2 = 57.04  m

Total stopping distance, s = s1 + s2 = 13.19 + 57.04 = 70.23 m

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
