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.

What is the average speed of a train that travels at 100km/hr for 6 hours and then 120km/hr for 5 hours
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time.

100 km/hr

r = 100 km / hr

t = 6 hours

d = 6 * 100 = 600 km

120 km / hr

r = 120 km / hr

t = 5 hour

d = 120 * 5

d = 600 km

Total distance = 600 + 600 = 1200 km

Total time = 5 hour + 6 hours = 11 hours.

Average speed = 1200 km / 11 hours = 109.1

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ
lyudmila [28]
<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.
