The stopping distance d of a car after the brakes are applied varies directly as the square of the speed r. If a car travelling

70 mph can stop in 270 ft, how many feet will it take the same car to stop whenit is travelling 60 mph?

270/70^2 = x/80^2

Cross multiply

270 (6400) = 4900x

x = 270(6400)/4900

352 and 32/49 feet

Hope this helps

A uniform, thin rod of length h and mass M is held vertically with its lower end resting on a frictionless horizontal surface. T

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

$v = \sqrt{gh}$

Explanation:

Since there's no external force beside gravity acting on the rod, we can use the law of energy conservation to calculate for the speed of rod center of gravity before hitting the surface.

Also as the rod is uniform and this, its center of gravity is at distance h/2 from the surface.

$E_k = E_p$

$mv^2/2 = mgh/2$

$v^2 = gh$

$v = \sqrt{gh}$
