You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 41m in front of you. Your reaction time

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer = 24.07 m/s

Explanation:

Let the maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer be y.

Your reaction time before stepping on the brakes is 0.50s.

Distance traveled during this time = 0.5y

A deer steps onto the road 41m in front of you

Remaining distance to deer = 41 - 0.5y

The maximum deceleration of your car is 10 m/s²

We have equation of motion, v² = u² + 2as

Initial velocity, u = y m/s

Final velocity, v = 0 m/s

Acceleration, a = -10 m/s²

Displacement, s = 41 - 0.5y

Substituting,

v² = u² + 2as

0² = y² + 2 x -10 x (41 - 0.5y)

20(41 - 0.5y) = y²

820 - 10 y = y²

y² + 10 y -820 = 0

y = 24.07 m/s or y = -34.06 m/s(not possible)

Maximum speed you could have and still not hit the deer = 24.07 m/s

What is the force on a 1,000 kilogram-elevator that is falling freely under the acceleration of gravity only?

likoan [24]

   Force = (mass) · (acceleration)

   = (1,000 kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

   = 9,800 newtons

10. Calculate the kinetic energy of a running back that has a mass of 80 kg and

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The answer is

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object given it's mass and velocity can be found by using the formula

$KE = \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}$

where

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question

m = 80 kg

v = 8 m/s

The kinetic energy is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} \times 80 \times {8}^{2} \\ = 40 \times 64$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
