a. The car will not hit the tractor.

b. The car would travel a distance of 52.07 m before stopping

c. At the moment when the car stopped, the tractor is 11.5 m in front of the car.

Linear motion

From the question, we are to determine of you will hit the tractor before you stop

First, we will determine the time it will take the car to stop

From the given information,

Initial velocity, u = 27.0 m/s

a = -7 m/s² (Negative sign indicates deceleration)

v = 0 m/s (Since the car will come to stop)

From one of the equations of linear motion,

v = u + at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

and t is the time taken

Putting the parameters into the equation, we get

0 = 27 + (-7)t

7t = 27

t = 27/7

t = 3.857 secs

This is the time it will take the car to stop

Now, we will determine the distance the car would travel after applying the brakes

Using the formula

S = (u + v) / t

Where S is the distance traveled

S = [(27 + 0) / 2] * 3.857

S = 13.5 * 3.857

S = 52.0695 m

S ≅ 52.07 m

This means the car would travel 52.07 m after applying the brakes

Now, we will determine the distance the tractor would have traveled when the car came to a stop

Speed of the tractor = 10.0 m/s

Time taken for the car to stop = 3.857 secs

Using the formula,

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance = 10.0 × 3.857

Distance = 38.57 m

Now, we will determine the distance between the car and the tractor when the car finally stopped

Distance between the car and the tractor = Distance ahead + Distance traveled by the tractor after the car stopped - Distance traveled by car after applying the brakes

Distance between the car and the tractor = 25 m + 38.57 m - 52.07 m

Distance between the car and the tractor = 11.5 m

Therefore, the distance the tractor was ahead of the car + the distance the tractor traveled after the car stopped is more than the distance the car traveled after applying the brakes (25 m + 38.57 m > 52.07), the car will not hit the tractor.

<u><em>[NOTE: THIS IS AN INCOMPLETE QUESTION. THE COMPLETE QUESTION IS: You are driving your car along a country road at a speed of 27.0 m/s. as you come over the crest of a hill, you notice a farm tractor 25.0 m ahead of you on the road, moving in the same direction as you at a speed of 10.0 m/s. you immediately slam on your brakes and slow down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 7.00 m/s2 .</em></u>

<u><em>a.will you hit the tractor before you stop?</em></u>

<u><em>b.how far will you travel before you stop or collide with the tractor?</em></u>

<u><em>c.if you stop, how far is the tractor in front of you when you finally stop?]</em></u>

A tennis player hits a ball 2.0 m above the ground. The ball leaves his racquet with a speed of 20 m/s at an angle 5.0 ∘ above t
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial height, yo = 2 m

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

angle of projection,θ = 5 degree

distance of net = 7 m

height of net = 1 m

Let it covers a vertical distance y in time t .

Use Second equation of motion for vertical motion

y=y_{0}+uSin\theta t-1/2 gt^{2}

y=2+20Sin5 t-4.9t^{2}

As it hits the ground in time t, so put y = 0

0=2+1.74 t-4.9t^{2}

4.9t^{2}-1.74t-2=0

t= \frac{1.74\pm\sqrt{1.74^{2}+4\times\2\times4.9}}{9.8}

Taking positive sign, t = 0.84 s

The ball travels a horizontal distance x in time t

X = 20 Cos5 x t

X =  16.76 m

As this distance is more than the distance of net, so it clears the net.

Let t' be the time taken to travel a horizontal distance equal to the distance of net

7 = 20 cos5 x t'

t' = 0.35 s

Let the vertical distance traveled by the ball in time t' is y'.

So,

y'=y_{0}+uSin\theta t'-1/2 gt'^{2}

y'=2+20Sin5 t-4.9\times0.35^{2}

y' = 2.008 m

So, it clears the net which is 1 m high.

It clears the net by a vertical distance of 2.008 - 1 = 1.008 m and horizontal distance 16.76 - 7 = 9.76 m

Which properties do metalloids share with metals?
Inga [223]
Metals are not brittle so it can’t be the first one or the third one, both metalloids and metals are shiny so it can’t be the second one. Therefore, it would be the last one because both metalloids and metals are shiny and both are solids at room temperature because it is not a high enough melting point.

ANSWER: Both are shiny and are solid at room temperature.
