A car is going south on I-69 at 33 m/s (74 mph). The car has good brakes so its maximum braking acceleration is – 8.5 m/s^2 . Tr

affic has come to a stop in all lanes 120 m ahead. What is the maximum reaction time the driver can have and still be able to stop in the available distance? Hint: During the driver’s reaction time, the car continues to have the initial velocity of 33 m/s.

Answer:

1.69515 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-33^2}{2\times -8.5}\\\Rightarrow s=64.06\ m

The distance between the traffic and the car after braking is 120-64.06 = 55.94 m

Time = Distance / Speed

\text{Time}=\frac{55.94}{33}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=1.69515\ seconds

The reaction time cannot be more than 1.69515 seconds

The distance traveled, in feet, of a ball dropped from a tall building is modeled by the equation d(t) = 16t2 where d equals the
Ainat [17]
When  t=2, the ball has fallen     d(2) = 16 (2²) = 64 feet .

When  t=5, the ball has fallen     d(5) = 16 (5²) = 400 feet .

Distance fallen from  t=2  until  t=5  is  (400 - 64) = 336 feet.

Time period between  t=2  until  t=5  is  (5 - 2) = 3 seconds.

Average speed of the ball from  t=2  until  t=5  is

                 (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

             =            336 feet        /        3 seconds       =  112 feet per second.

That's what choice-C says.

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m
