Estimated speed of the vehicle

Really, Gundy ? ! ?

The formula for the car's speed is given and discussed in the box.  The formula is

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

Then they <em>tell</em> you that μ is 0.750 , and then they <em>tell</em> you that d = 52.9 m .  Also, everybody knows that 'g' is gravity = 9.8 m/s² .

They also tell us that the mass of the car is 1,000 kg, and they tell us that it took 3.8 seconds to skid to a stop.  But we already <em>have</em> all the numbers in the formula <em>without</em> knowing the car's mass or how long it took to stop.  The police don't need to weigh the car, and nobody was there to measure how long the car took to stop.  All they need is the length of the skid mark, which they can measure, and they'll know how fast the guy was going when he hit the brakes !

Now, can you take the numbers and plug them into the formula ? ! ?

v = √(2·g·μ·d)

v = √( 2 · 9.8 m/s² · 0.75 · 52.9 m)

v = √( 777.63 m²/s²)

v = 27.886 m/s

Rounded to 3 digits, that's  <em>27.9 m/s </em>.

That's about 62.4 mile/hour .

If a car changes its velocity from 32 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 8.0 seconds, what is its acceleration?
Stella [2.4K]
Use the equation for the acceleration
A = final velocity - initial velocity divided by time final - time initial
A= 54 - 32 / 8 - 0
A= 22 / 8 
A= 2.75 m/s^2 
Hope this helps!

Describe difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

The instantaneous velocity is the specific rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time at a single point (x,t) , while average velocity is the average rate of change of position (or displacement) with respect to time over an interval.Average velocity : Average velocity of a body is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by time interval (Δt) in which that displacement occurs.

Instantaneous velocity : The instantaneous velocity of a body is the velocity of the body at any instant of time or at any point of its path .

velocity can be positive , negative or zero.

By studying speed and velocity we come to the result that at any time interval average speed of an object is equal or more than the average but instantaneous speed is equal to instantaneous velocity.
