The motorist travels (a) 58 km/h and (b) ~16.1 m/sec
Answer:
a = -5.10 m/s^2
her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
Explanation:
The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.
distance d = 5.0 m
Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s
Final speed v = 5.8 m/s
The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;
d = 0.5(u+v)t
time t = 2d/(u+v)
Substituting the given values;
t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)
t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second
The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;
acceleration a = ∆v/t
a = (v-u)/t
Substituting the values;
a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667
a = -5.099974500127
a = -5.10 m/s^2
her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
It's 12.1 m/s, assuming that's the launch velocity that's given.
For projectile motion, velocity's y-component is parabolic/quadratic. It's x-component is constant, so you don't need to know it.
Q=mcΔt
Q= 1kg * 800J/kg°C*4°C
Q= 3200J
A hole, and people die if they fall in there.
