A car with mass 1500 kg moves with constant velocity of 36 m/s. The driver sees a group of cows in front and he immediately step

s on the brake pedal and manage to stop the car in 6 s. The distance of the cows from the car when the driver spotted them is 160 m. How far are the cows from the car when the car stops?

From laws of motion:

S = ( \frac{v + u}{2} ) \times t
Where S is the distance/displacement (as you would call it) which is unknown
v = final velocity which is 0m/s (this is because the car stops)
u = initial velocity which is 36m/s (from the data given)
t = time taken for the distance to be covered and it is 6s


Substitute the values, hence:
S = ( \frac{0 + 36}{2} ) \times 6
S = (18) \times 6 \\  \\ S = 108m

But this is merely the distance he travelled in the 6 seconds he was trying to stop the car.

Therefore, the distance between the car and the cows = 160-108
Distance = 52m

The speed of a projectile when it reaches its maximum height is 0.58 times its speed when it is at half its maximum height. What
Ne4ueva [31]

Speed of the projectile at its maximum height is only along horizontal direction

so at highest point

v_1 = v_x

now when he is at half of the maximum height the speed will be in x and y direction both

v_2 = \sqrt{v_y^2 + v_x^2}

here it is given that

v_1 = 0.58 v_2

v_x = 0.58\sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

2.97 v_x^2 = v_x^2 + v_y^2

1.97 v_x^2 = v_y^2

also we know that

v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g \frac{H}{2}

here we know that maximum height is given as

H = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2g}

v_y^2 = v_{iy}^2 - 2 g\frac{v_{iy}^2}{4g}

v_y^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}

now from above

1.97 v_x^2 = \frac{v_{iy}^2}{2}

1.98 v_x = v_{iy}

also we know that angle of projection is

tan\theta = \frac{v_{iy}}{v_x}

tan\theta = \frac{1.98v_x}{v_x}

so angle is

\theta = tan^{-1} 1.98

\theta = 63.3 degree

Another way to test your question is to build your own miniature buildings. Depending on how in-depth you go, building could get a little pricey, but if you keep it basic there shouldn't be a problem. Decide on a certain number of foundations to test [maybe 3 or so] and try simulating an earthquake.
