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 330 m from the crossing
and its speed is 21 m/s.
If the engineer’s reaction time is 0.44 s,
what should be the magnitude of the minimum deceleration to avoid an accident?
Answer in units of m/s
2
.

r=rho l/a where a is the area, l is the length and rho is resistivity so the greater the area the lesser the resistance thats why the earth pin is thicker bcos current follow the shortest path, so less resistive .

search it up!

explanation:

the total distance that martina travels that day is

(distance from home to mom's office) plus (distance from mom's office to school)

plus (distance from school to library) plus (distance from library to friend's house)

plus (distance from friend's house to martina's house).

(we don't know what any of these distance actually is.)
