Suppose a car is traveling at +25.0 m/s, and the driver sees a traffic light turn red. After 0.340 s has elapsed (the reaction t

ime), the driver applies the brakes, and the car decelerates at 7.00 m/s2.

First, we will get the distance traveled before the driver applied the brakes.
distance = velocity * time
distance = 25*0.34 = 8.5 m

Now, we will calculated the distance that the car traveled after the driver applied the brakes. To do this, we will use the equation of motion:
<span>vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d where:
</span>vf = zero, vi = 25 m/s and a = -7 m/s^2
Note: The negative sign is only to show deceleration 
d = <span> 1/2*(625) /(7) = 44.6428 m

The total stopping distance =</span> 8.5 + 44.6428 = 53.1428 m

Find the acceleration of a car that can go from rest to 50 km/h in 13 s
ziro4ka [17]

The acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acceleration is the measure of change in velocity experienced by any object for a given time period. So it is determined as the ratio of difference in the velocity to the time period.

As here the initial velocity is stated as zero, so u = 0. And the final velocity is termed as 50 km/h. Then we have to determine the acceleration in 13 s. So here we have to convert the units as common units. Thus, 50 km/h should be converted to m/s as \frac{50*1000}{3600}=13.88 m/s

So now, the initial velocity u = 0 and final velocity v = 13.88 m/s and the time period is given as t = 13 s.

Acceleration = \frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{13.88-0}{13}=1.067 m/s^{2}

So the acceleration of the car is 1.067 m/s^{2}.

A displacement vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north. What are the components of this vector? Northward
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

A)  29.4 m 17.0 m; B) 2 m

Explanation:

If a vector is 34.0 m in length and is directed 60.0° east of north (which means 30.0° over the horizontal), then its coordinates will be:

Horizontal: (34.0 m)cos(30.0°)=29.4 m

Vertical: (34.0 m)sin(30.0°)=17 m

If one person walks 8.0 meters in a straight line and then walks 5.0 meters in another straight line, then the minimum displacement would be to go back over his tracks, displacing himself 8m-5m=3m, while the maximum displacement would be going straight ahead, displacing himself 8m+5m=13m. Any answer outside this interval is impossible (2m).

What is the acceleration of the object in the graph?
viktelen [127]

Answer:

-0.8 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration is the slope of a velocity vs. time graph.

a = Δv / Δt

a = (0 m/s − 12 m/s) / (15 s − 0 s)

a = -0.8 m/s²

The rubber band contains .......potential energy as it is stretched.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

elastic potential energy

You input potential (stored) energy into the rubber band system when you stretched the rubber band back. Because it is an elastic system, this kind of potential energy is specifically called elastic potential energy.
