23.5 DEGREES is the answer.
Answer:
The car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
Explanation:
In order to know if the car stops before the distance to the child, you take into account the following equation:
(1)
vo: initial speed of the car = 45km/h
a: deceleration of the car = 2 m/s^2
t: time
xo: initial distance to the child = 25m
x: final distance to the child = 0m
It is necessary that the solution of the equation (1) for time t are real.
You first convert the initial speed to m/s, then replace the values of the parameters and solve the quadratic polynomial for t:


You take the first value t1 because it has physical meaning.
The solution for t is real, then, the car stops in 7.78s and does not spare the child.
In fresh water sound waves travel at 1497m/s at 25 degrees, I'll assume that's the characteristics of the water.
If it's 0.01s then you need to divide the speed by 100 to get the, 14.97, however it gets there and back in that time so you need to halve it.
<u>7.485m</u>
