<h2>Answer</h2>

option D)

2.4 seconds

<h2>Explanation</h2>

Given in the question,

mass of car = 1200kg

speed of car = 19m/s

Force due to direction of travel

F = ma

  = 12000(a)

Force to due frictional force in reverse direction

-F = mg(friction coefficient)

   = -12000(9.81)(0.8)

<h2>-mg(friction coefficient) = ma  </h2>

(cancelling mass from both side of equation)

g(0.8) = a

(9.81)(0.8) = a

a = 7.848 m/s²

<h2>Use Newton Law of motion</h2><h3>vf - vo = a • t</h3>

where vf = final velocity

          vo = initial velocity

          a = acceleration

           t = time

0 - 19 = 7.8(t)

t = 19/7.8

  = 2.436 s

  ≈ 2.4s

A runner starts at position zero and moves in one direction to position 12m 3. What is the distance traveled by the runner?
murzikaleks [220]

<u>Distance = 12 m</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Distance covered by the runner is same as the total path that he has ran. Here, a person starts at 0 position and goes in one direction to position 12 m. Since the initial point is 0 and the final position is 12, the total distance is calculated by adding the 2 points as: 0+12 = 12 m. So the distance covered and the displacement both are same which is 12 meters.

Distance traveled is the full length of the path covered between two points. It is not a vector and the direction is nil and no negative sign.  Example : The distance walked by the teacher is 3.0 m ,The distance walked by a passenger is 5.0 m. Also, the distance traveled need not be equal to the magnitude of the displacement which is the distance between the two positions.

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air.
drek231 [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

I am sitting on a train car traveling horizontally at a constant speed of 50 m/s. I throw a ball straight up into the air. Before , the ball gets separated from my hand , both me the ball will be moving with velocity of 50 m /s in horizontal direction .

As soon as ball is separated from the hand , it acquires addition velocity in upward direction and acceleration in downward direction . This will give relative velocity to the ball with respect to me . So I will see the ball going in upward direction under  gravitational acceleration . It appears as if I am sitting at rest and ball is going in upward direction under deceleration . My motion at 50 m/s will have no effect on the motion of ball in upward direction , according to first law of Newton . It is so because ball too will be moving in forward direction with the same speed which will not be visible to me because I too am moving with the same speed.

If I  am  sitting at rest at home and I threw a ball straight up into the air , I will have the same experience of seeing ball going in similar way as described above.
