The more mass the vehicle has, the more that is needed to stop the vehicle in motion.

Whenever a vehicle is in motion, it has got kinetic energy. Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with the stopping distance. Kinetic energy is dependent on the mass of the vehicle and also the velocity at which it is traveling. In case of a small vehicle, the mass of the vehicle will be small and so the stopping distance will also be less compared to a large vehicle. In the case of the large vehicle traveling at the same velocity as the small vehicle, the stopping distance will be greater becuse the large vehicle has a larger mass. So in case of a small vehicle the kinetic energy will be less and so the distance for stopping will be less than that of the large vehicle.

  • K.E=18750J
  • Mass=m=2100kg
  • Velocity=v

\boxed{\sf K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}

\\ \sf\longmapsto 18750=\dfrac{1}{2}2100v^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto 18750=1050v^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto v^2=\dfrac{18750}{1050}

\\ \sf\longmapsto v^2=17.85m^2

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=\sqrt{17.85}

\\ \sf\longmapsto v=4.1m/s

If a football player collides with a goal post, what forces are at work?
AlekseyPX
When a footballer collides with the goal post, the forces at work are the action and reaction forces. The player will exert an action force on the goal post, and then a reaction force from the goal post will stop the player. The reaction force call will cause pain and even injury to the player.

Where are you on Earth if you experience each of the following? (Refer to the discussion in Observing the Sky: The Birth of Astr
Aloiza [94]

Explanation:

We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.

Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon

The observer is at the equator

Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon

The observer is at the Pole of the Earth

Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith

The observer is at the equator

Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible

The observer is at the equator

Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)

The observer is at North Pole
