While strolling downtown on a Saturday afternoon, you stumble across an old car show. As you are walking along an alley toward a

main street, you glimpse a particularly stylish Alpha Romeo pass by. Tall buildings on either side of the alley obscure your view, so you see the car only as it passes between the buildings. Thinking back to your physics class, you realize that you can calculate the car's acceleration. You estimate the width of the alleyway between the two buildings to be 3 m. The car was in view for 0.4 s. You also heard the engine rev when the car started from a red light, so you know the Alpha Romeo started from rest 5 s before you first saw it. Find the magnitude of its acceleration.

Answer:

1.44 m/s²

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+a\times 5\\\Rightarrow v=5a

This velocity will be the initial velocity of the car when it passes through the first building

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 3=5a\times 0.4+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 0.4^2\\\Rightarrow a=1.44\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is 1.44 m/s²

dlinn [17]

Answer:

19.2 m/s

Explanation:

The train is moving at 18 m/s and you are walking in the same direction (east) so the speeds are added

18 + 1.2 = 19.2

If you were walking backwards (west) your velocity with respect to the ground would be

18 - 1.2 = 16.8

The turn signal indicator should be activated at least _____ before merging.
Anika [276]
The turn signal indicator should be activated at least FIVE SECONDS before merging. This is done in order to let the other drivers behind you know that you want to turn and to slow down for you, this keeps you and other road users safe and prevent accident.

How long will it take for a car to accelerate to come to a stop if it is traveling at 20m/s and the car has a maximum decelerati
Pachacha [2.7K]
When the car comes to a stop, the final velocity must be 0 m/s.
Since the car js decelerating in a forward direction, acceleration must be negative.

final v = initial v + a•t
0 = 20 + (-6)t
t = 3.33s
