The driver of a car slams on the brakes, causing the car to slow down at a rate of 17ft/s2 as the car skids 285ft to a stop.
ozzi

1) 5.79 s

2) 98.4 ft/s

Explanation:

1)

The motion of the car is a uniformly accelerated motion (it means it travels with constant acceleration), so we can find the time it takes for the car to stop by using the following suvat equation:

s=vt-\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

s is the distance travelled

v is the final velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration of the car

In this problem we have:

s = 285 ft is the distance travelled

a=-17 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of the car (negative since the car is slowing down)

v = 0 ft/s is the final velocity of the car, since it comes to a stop

Solving for t, we find:

t=\sqrt{\frac{-2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{-2(285)}{-17}}=5.79 s

2)

The initial speed of the car can be found by using another suvat equation, namely:

v=u+at

where

v is the final speed

u is the initial speed

a is the acceleration

t is the time

In this problem, we have:

v = 0 is the final speed of the car

a=-17 ft/s^2 is the acceleration of the car (negative since the car is slowing down)

t = 5.79 s is the total time of motion (found in part 1)

Therefore, the initial speed of the car is:

u=v-at=0-(-17)(5.79)=98.4 ft/s

You have landed a summer job as the technical assistant to the director of an adventure movie shot here in Arizona. The script c
kati45 [8]

Answer:

a

  t = 3.798 \  s

b

S =  67.91 \ m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The height of the helicopter is h=  235 ft

The height of the bed of the truck is h_b  =  3 \ ft

The speed of the truck is v  =  40 \ miles / hour =  \frac{40 * 1609.34}{3600} = 17.88 \ m/s

Generally the distance between the truck bed and the helicopter is mathematically represented as

H =  h - h_b

=> H =  235 -3

=> H =  232 \  ft

Converting to meters

H =  \frac{ 232}{3.281}  = 70.7 \  m

Generally the time at which the helicopter should drop the package is mathematically represented as

t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * H}{g} }

t = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 70.7}{9.8} }

t = 3.798 \  s

Generally distance of the helicopter from the drop site at time t = 0 s is

S =  v  * t

=>     S =  17.88   *  3.798

=> S =  67.91 \ m

Olivia is on a swing at the playground. if the swing is moving from W to Z, at which point is her kinetic energy increasing and
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

from W-Z.. i think on a swing you get your most potential energy at W and Z is where you go up so Z would be where the kinetic energy increased and W is where potential energy decrease
