019 10.0 points An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck
on the track at a railroad crossing in front of
the train. When the engineer first sees the
car, the locomotive is 100 m from the crossing
and its speed is 12 m/s.
If the engineer's reaction time is 0.55 s,
what should be the magnitude of the mini-
mum deceleration to avoid an accident?
Answer in units of m/s².

Air initially at 0.75 bar, 1000 k, and occupying a volume of 0.12 m^3 undergoes two processes. process 1-2: the air is compressed isothermally until the volume is halved. process 2-3: the air undergoes a constant pressure process until the volume is halved again. assume ideal gas behavior. a) determine the mass of the air, in kg. b) the work and the heat transfer for each of the two processes, in kj. (100 kj = 1 bar . m^3)

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.
