You are driving at the speed of 33.4 m/s (74.7296 mph) when suddenly the car in front of you (previously traveling at the same s

peed) brakes. Considering an average human reaction, you press your brakes 0.424 s later. Assume that the brakes on both cars are fully engaged and that the coefficient of friction is 0.862 between both cars and the road.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 .
a) Calculate the acceleration of the car in front of you when it brakes.
b) Calculate the braking distance for the car in front of you.
c) Find the minimum safe distance at which you can follow the car in front of you and avoid hitting it (in the case of emergency braking described here).

Answer:

Part a)

a = - 8.45 m/s/s

Part b)

d = 66 m

Part c)

d = 14.16 m

Explanation:

Part a)

when car apply brakes then the friction force on the car in front of us is given as

F_f = \mu mg

here we need to find deceleration due to friction

a = \frac{F_f}{m}

a = -\mu g

a = -8.45 m/s^2

Part b)

Braking distance of the car is the distance that it move till it stops

so we will have

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2ad

0 - 33.4^2 = 2(-8.45)d

d = 66 m

Part c)

Since we know that average reaction time for human is 0.424 s

now we know that during reaction time our car will travel at uniform speed

so we will have

d = vt

d = (33.4) (0.424)

d = 14.16 m

3. A model rocket is launched straight upward at 58.8 m/s.
SIZIF [17.4K]

Let us assume that rocket only runs in initial energy and not using its own to flying.

Also , let upward direction is +ve and downward direction is -ve .

Initial velocity , u = 58.8 m/s .

Acceleration due to gravity , g=-9.8\ m/s^2 .

Final velocity , v - = 0 m/s .

We know , by equation of motion .

v^2-u^2=2gh\\\\2gh_{max}=0^2-58.8^2\\\\h_{max}=\dfrac{0^2-58.8^2}{-2\times 9.8}\\\\h_{max}= 176.4\ m

Hence, this is the required solution .

TECHNOLOGY A Lamborghini Aventador accelerates from rest to 100 km / h in 2.9 s. The mass of the car is 1575 kg Calculate the po
DerKrebs [107]

At 100 km/hr, the car's kinetic energy is

KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

KE = (1/2) (1575 kg) ( [100 km/hr] x [1000 m/km] x [1 hr/3600 sec] )²

KE = (787.5 kg) (27.78 m/s)²

KE = 607,639 Joules

In order to deliver this energy in 2.9 seconds, the engine must supply

(607,639 J / 2.9 sec) = 209,531 watts

<em>Power = 281 HP</em>

What is the wavelength of light that is deviated in the first order through an angle of 13.1 ∘ by a transmission grating having
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle = 13.1°

Number of slits = 5000

We need to calculate the wavelength of light

Diffraction of first order is defined as,

d \sin\theta=n\lambda.....(I)

The separation of the slits

d = \dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{5000}

d=2\times10^{-6}\ m

Now put the value in equation (I)

2\times10^{-6}\sin13.1^{\circ}=\lambda

Here, n = 1

\lambda=4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

Hence, The wavelength of light is 4.53\times10^{-7}\ m

While running these tests, crall notices a similarity in the velocity measured at the ground independent of whether the tennis b
lara [203]

At the ground the ball will always have velocity along the direction of gravity. If upward motion is taken positive it will always have negative velocity at the ground because, if the ball was given an initial upward velocity then gravity will decelerate it and bring it down with a negative final velocity. If the ball is given an initial downward velocity then the ball will be further accelerated by gravity in the downward direction only, again maintaining negative direction. The magnitude however in both cases will be different. the final velocity at the ground will have higher magnitude in case of elevator moving downwards.
