A car traveling at 24 m/s starts to decelerate steadily. It comes to a complete stop in 8 seconds. What is its acceleration?

1 answer:

6 0

Formula for velocity:
V(t) = Vi + at
Where V(t) is velocity at time t, Vi is initital velocity, and a is acceleration.
Solving for a:
V(8) = Vi + a(8)
V(8) = 0 (car has stopped)
0 = 24 + 8a
-24 = 8a
a = -3 m/s/s

Answer:

$v = 15.45 m/s$

Explanation:

As per mechanical energy conservation we can say that here since friction is present in the barrel so we will have

Work done by friction force = Loss in mechanical energy

so we will have

$W_f = (U_i + K_i) - (U_f + K_f)$

here we know that

$W_f = F_f . d$

$W_f = 40 \times 4$

$W_f = 160 J$

Initial compression in the spring is given as

$F = kx$

$4400 = 1100 x$

$x = 4 m$

now from above equation

$W_f = (\frac{1}{2}kx^2 + 0) - (mgh + \frac{1}{2}mv^2)$

$160 = (\frac{1}{2}1100(4^2) + 0) - (60 \times 9.8\times 2.50 + \frac{1}{2}(60)v^2)$

$160 = 8800 - 1470 - 30 v^2$

$v = 15.45 m/s$
