when a traffic accident is investigated, it is common for the length of the skid marks to be measured. how could this informatio

n be used to estimate the initial speed of the vehicle that left the skid marks?

This information could be used in the following ways: the braking distance of a skidding car will depend on its initial speed and the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Thus, if the coefficient of friction is known the initial speed can be determined from the length of the skid marks.

What do you mean by Initial speed?

Initial speed can be described as  how fast an object travels when gravity first applies force on the object. It can be represented in the form of (u) and is generally measured in metres per second (m/s).

It can be represented in three ways.

  • v2=u2+2as
  • v=u+at
  • s=ut+0.5at2

Through these formulas we can calculate the initial speed of any object. It helps in understanding various velocities, time principles.

V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.7 s

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.0 m/s²

v₀ = 8.0 m/s

v = 25.0 m/s

Find: t

v = at + v₀

25.0 m/s = (3.0 m/s²) t + 8.0 m/s

t ≈ 5.7 s

Can I get help on this question please I don’t understand
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Weight = 55 * 9.8 = 539 N

Scale = 686 N

Since the scale reading is larger than the lady’s weight, the elevator must be accelerating as it moves upward.

Net upward force = 686 – 539 = 147 N

147 = 55 * a

a = 147 ÷ 55

The acceleration is approximately 2.67 m/s^2.
