Convert the given in SI units.
(44 ft/sec)(1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 13.41 m/sec
The distance traveled and the initial velocity can be related through the equation,
d = (Vf)² - (Vi)²/ 2a
where d is the distance, Vf is the final velocity, Vi is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values from the given above,
d = ((0 m/s)² - (13.41 m/s)²)/ 2(-9.8 m/s²)
The value of d from the equation,
d = 9.17 meters
Convert this to feet,
d = (9.17 m)(3.28 ft / 1 m) = 30 ft
Answer: 30 ft
Answer:
1.) 4m
2.) 37 m
3.) 62m
4.) 2.5 s
Explanation:
1.) Given that the
Thinking distance = 1m
Breaking distance = 3m
Stopping distance = breaking distance + thinking distance
Stopping distance = 1 + 3 = 4m
2.) Given that the
Stopping distance = 52 m
Thinking distance = 15m
Breaking distance = 52 - 15 = 37m
3.) The stopping distance = 76m
Thinking distance = 14m
Breaking distance = 76 - 14 = 62m
It take the brakes 62m to slow the car down to a stop.
4.) Given that a lorry travels 28m when stopping from a speed of 4m/s. If its braking distance was 18m, what was the driver’s reaction time?
Thinking = stopping distance - braking distance
Thinking distance = 28 - 18 = 10m
Speed = distance/time
4 = 10/reaction time
Reaction time = 10/4
Reaction time = 2.5 s
