The driver of a car slams on the brakes when he sees a tree blocking the road. the car slows uniformly with acceleration of -5.9

0 m/s2 for 4.15 s, making straight skid marks 62.3 m long, all the way to the tree. with what speed does the car then strike the tree?

Let u =  the speed of the car at the instant when braking begins.

The braking distance is s = 62.3 m, the acceleration is a = -5.9 m/s², and the braking duration is t = 4.15 s.

Use the formula s = ut + (1/2)at² to obtain
(u m/s)*(4.15 s) + 0.5*(-5.9 m/s²)*(4.5 s)² = (62.3 m)
4.15u = 62.3 + 50.8064 = 113.1064
      u = 27.2546 m/s

Let v m/s be the speed with which the car strikes the tree.
Then
v = 27.2546 - 5.9*4.15
   = 2.7696 m/s

Answer: 2.77 m/s (nearest hundredth)

when an object moves with constant velocity, does its average velocity during any time interval differ from its instataneous vel
BigorU [14]
For a constant-velocity object, the average and instantaneous are the same.  So the answer is no.  It's like taking a running average of a string of numbers that are all the same number.  The average is always the sum of the numbers divided by how many have accumulated, which will always equate to the repeated number.

Calculate two stars appear to you to have the same brightness. if star a is 7.00 light-years away from you, while star b is 15.0
vagabundo [1.1K]

It  is eight times more than the star A.

<h3>What is luminosity  and on which it depends?</h3>

The luminosity of an object is a measure of its intrinsic brightness and is defined as the amount of energy the object emits in a fixed time.

luminousity depends upon the two factors are:

1) The star's actual brightness

Some stars are naturally more luminous than others ,so the brightness level from one star to next star is significantly different.

2) The star distance from us

The more distance of an object the dimmer it appears.

Energy emitted = sAT⁴

where s is stefan constant

A is surface area and T is temperature  .
