The coefficient of friction between the road and the car's tire is determined as 0.78.

<h3>Acceleration of the car</h3>

The acceleration of the car is calculated as follows;

v² = u² - 2as

0 = u² - 2as

a = u²/2s

where;

u is the initial velocity = 97 km/h = 26.94 m/s

a = (26.94)²/(2 x 47)

a = 7.72 m/s²

<h3>Coefficient of friction</h3>

μ = a/g

μ = (7.72)/9.8

μ = 0.78

Newtons 1st law of motion states that the object will continue to move at its present speed and direction until an outside force acts upon it.

So unless the objects inside the car are restrained, they will continue moving at whatever speed the car is traveling at, even if the car is stopped by a crash.

A rocket is launched at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal with an initial speed of 103 m/s. The rocket moves for 3.00 s alo

Serggg [28]

Before the engines fail $(0\le t\le3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket's horizontal and vertical position in the air are

$x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t^2$

$y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ\,t+\dfrac12\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t^2$

and its velocity vector has components

$v_x=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\cos53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\cos53.0^\circ t$

$v_y=\left(103\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)\sin53.0^\circ+\left(32.0\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)\sin53.0^\circ t$

After $t=3.00\,\rm s$ , its position is

$x=273\,\rm m$

$y=362\,\rm m$

and the rocket's velocity vector has horizontal and vertical components

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

After the engine failure $(t>3.00\,\rm s)$ , the rocket is in freefall and its position is given by

$x=273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t$

$y=362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2$

and its velocity vector's components are

$v_x=120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

$v_y=159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt$

where we take $g=9.80\,\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$ .

a. The maximum altitude occurs at the point during which $v_y=0$ :

$159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}-gt=0\implies t=16.2\,\rm s$

At this point, the rocket has an altitude of

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(16.2\,\rm s)-\dfrac g2(16.2\,\rm s)^2=1650\,\rm m$

b. The rocket will eventually fall to the ground at some point after its engines fail. We solve $y=0$ for $t$ , then add 3 seconds to this time:

$362\,\mathrm m+\left(159\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)t-\dfrac g2t^2=0\implies t=34.6\,\rm s$

So the rocket stays in the air for a total of $37.6\,\rm s$ .

c. After the engine failure, the rocket traveled for about 34.6 seconds, so we evalute $x$ for this time $t$ :

$273\,\mathrm m+\left(120\,\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}\right)(34.6\,\rm s)=4410\,\rm m$

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be $a=9600m/sec^$

Explanation:

We have given that distance from stop sign s = 200 m

Time t = 0.2 sec

We have to find the constant acceleration

Now from second equation of motion $s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$200=40\times 0.2+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.2^2$

$a=9600m/sec^$

So the acceleration of the car will be $a=9600m/sec^$
