By what percent does the braking distance of a car decrease, when the speed of the car is reduced by 10.3 percent? Braking dista

likoan [24]

The braking distance is the distance traveled by a car experiencing a braking force until it comes to rest.

Our initial energy is solely kinetic:
$E_i = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

And, since the car goes to rest, it is no longer in motion. It will have no kinetic energy.
$E_f = 0$

Therefore, there was work done by the braking force.

$W_B = E_f - E_i = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Recall the definition of work:
$W = F\cdot \Delta x$

Or in this case, since the displacement and breaking force are antiparallel:
$W = -F_B\Delta x$

This is equivalent to the dissipation of kinetic energy:
$W = -F_B\Delta x = -\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

Now, to visualize this, let's rearrange the equation to solve for displacement.

$\Delta x =\frac{mv^2}{2F_B}$

<u>There is a direct, SQUARE relationship between necessary braking distance speed. </u>

If the speed was reduced by 10.3 percent, its new speed is only 89.7% percent of the original, so:
$\Delta x' =\frac{m(0.897v)^2}{2F_B}$

$\Delta x' = 0.8046\Delta x$

The reduction by a percentage is:
$1 - 0.8046 = 0.1954 \\\\\boxed{= 19.54\%}$

Sav [38]

Answer:

a) True

Explanation:

A program-specific message provided to an individual or group with the intention of raising awareness of a health condition, motivating behavior change, removing perceived barriers to participating in a health habit, or something else relating to the program's aims and objectives. The most effective intervention messages are usually theory-based and culturally adapted.

Sean climbs a tower that is 71.3 m high to make a jump with a parachute. The mass of Sean plus the parachute is 81.4 kg. If U =

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

U = 56877.4 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a body is that which it possesses because it is located at a certain height above the surface of the earth and can be calculated using the following formula:

U = mgh Formula (1)

Where:

U is the potential energy in Joules (J)

m is the mass of the body in kilograms (kg)

g is the acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

h is the height at which the body is found from the surface of the earth in meters (m)

Data

m= 81.4 kg

g= 9.8 m/s²

h = 71.3 m

Potential energy of Sean and the parachute at the top of the tower

We replace data in the formula (1)

U = m*g*h

U = (81.4 kg)*(9.8 m/s²)*(71.3 m)

U = 56877.4 N*m

U = 56877.4 J
