As per the question the initial speed of the car [ u] is 42 m/s.
The car applied its brake and comes to rest after 5.5 second.
The final velocity [v] of the car will be zero.
From the equation of kinematics we know that
[ here a stands for acceleration]
Here a is taken negative as it the car is decelerating uniformly.
We are asked to calculate the stopping distance .
From equation of kinematics we know that
[here S is the distance]
[ans]
Answer:
10 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum before collision = momentum after collision
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v
64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v
60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v
v = 10 m/s
A. through a relatively short distance.
The speed is actually called the drift speed of the electron.
